Nice and solid clamps does not slips LOCKABLE

Although not expensive, these weren’t exactly cheap either. I’m pretty disappointed that one cuff is extremely tight and difficult to latch while the other so loose that my weights shift when under a heavy load. Not ideal clamps at all. I really wanted them to be because the design looks great. Unfortunately, their functionality is terrible.

I can't tell you how much better these are than the older "spring" type clamps. Wait, yes I can. A LOT. They completely take the hassle out of the wiggling and such necessary for the older style. The pop open, slide off quickly, and when reattached with the lever pushed down affix TIGHT. I was a bit worried they might be a little wobbly, but no, if anything they're even MORE secure. Exactly sized for standard Olympic barbells, utterly functional, and built to last for years....HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I got this set of collars for my larger barbell, and I'm SUPER happy with it. First of all, they're metal. My other pair on my smaller barbell is plastic, and although they work, they do NOT feel as heavy-duty as these. And I do want heavy-duty if I'm going to be lifting any significant amount.The mechanism on this -glides- it's really nice. It opens and closes quite nicely. The vinyl interior has tread on it, for grip. And the grip is fantastic!Overall these are in my opinion heavy-duty and well worth the price for them. Highly recommend!

These are some amazing clips. I have a large pair of OSOs that I've been using for years and they do an great job of holding tight and firm even in workouts when I'm dropping the bar a lot. I was skeptical about these since they are a lot more compact.Turns out, these are my new favorite clips. They are really easy to put on and require only a little bit of force to close the lock. I've used them a few times and I'm really impressed with how they hold. I just finished a workout where I dropped the 75 lb bar over 50 times from 6 feet high and they didn't budge a single bit. When the workout was over, I was able to release the clamp with just a single finger. I've not seen barbell clamps that hold this securely but are easy to put on and release.Overall, I'm very impressed with the "Olympic Barbell Clamps 2 Inch.Aluminum Alloy Exercise Collars For Weightlifting.Secure and Quick-Release Weight Clips for Intense Weightlifting Sessions.".
