These are not assembly line products! They are handcrafted by a family-owned and operated business. When my son was born I looked at my life and thought about what I wanted most for him. I decided that it was for him to enjoy his life. That forced me to take a look at my own life. How could I teach my child to enjoy his life when I had failed to enjoy my own? I decided that I couldn’t. When I was younger I had many jobs but there were things that had been life long loves; these were building things, fitness, martial arts, and grappling. With the support of my loving wife I decided to go all in and combine these things into a business. I decided to name this business The Pain Factory. I envisioned a place where it was okay to be broken. A place where people could come and shed the stress of their daily lives and be rebuilt. The tools we would use would be the things that had been my life long passions. Part of what we do is build our own equipment. It has been six years now and the equipment that we build has become an enjoyable part of my and my son's life. There are still struggles but every night I go to bed looking forward to the next day. Everything we build comes with a lifetime warranty. It is built to be abused.

These are great
It feels nerdy to say I'm blown away by dumbell handles, but here we are.These are legit. Like other people here I also had high expectations after reading a lot of good feedback, but was still kinda shocked by how well made these are. Pretty much the second I opened the box I knew buying these was the right choice. These folks know what they're doing and it shows.The grip is really comfortable. Best handles I've ever used. It's a little awkward getting used to at first, but overall it feels better than using a standard Olympic bar. At least to me. Also, the length was a little surprising at first (let's all be adults here), but I don't have a problem with it. Everyone is different though, so just know these handles are long.Last thing, before getting hung up on collars, just buy the ones these folks make. Some people might gripe that it's unnecessary and/or inconvenient to have to dish out extra money to make sure your collars fit right, which I get, but at the same time I know that anything I purchase from this family is going to be high quality and very well made.If you're on the fence, just buy already. No joke, you won't regret it. The comfort and versatility are top notch.

Save money on dumbbells, build your own set for $70
These are rock solid, build your own dumbbell set. Get the screw on clamps they offer and everything works great. The grip is definitely thick, not for tiny hands but I cant see a tiny man buying something like this. 2” olympic plates fit perfect. These are for the beasty.

1.9" not 2".
It's very, very hidden in the item description. I missed it myself. The bar is not true Olympic diameter. Olympic collars will not fit this bar unless they are made to work on axel/strongman bars. These handles are literally a piece of pipe with stops welded to it. Yes it's sturdy, there is nothing to them though... They work, but plan to spend another 80 bucks on strongman collars.I have seen plenty of strongman implements with 1.9 sizing. Sort of odd to see it in DBs. The weight plates can move more than usual, collars don't fit proper, etc. These are major issues if you were looking for a nice day grip dB handle like I was.The seller even includes a letter about how your collars won't fit, got you, promise it's not a money grab, but I do sell to collars you need. BS. BS. BS. There is no reason to make a dB handle the wrong size other than a mistake or to sell collars.Handles are ok, shady business practices not so much.

Amazing Dumbbell Bars
Without a doubt an amazing product. First off the way it was packaged way beyond the necessary. It was from greatly wrapped to avoid damage. Everything came wrapped very good. Second the material is amazing this is no cheap dumbell bar. You can tell this is very sturdy and I actually feel very confident of it no snapping on me when using them for chest press. I’ll for sure recommend this product or any of the products they sell to all my friends and family. Thanks for such an amazing product well worth the wait

Not true Olympic size
These are very sturdy and we'll built but too small to work with most clamps. The bar is too small in diameter for clamps and there are no ridges for the squeeze spring type to work on. It's a shame because they did a nice job welding and smoothing everything over.

great value
great addition to my new, COVID-19 inspired home gym. the only downside is that you have to make sure you get collars for these slightly smaller weight-plate portion of the bar. Get the type with a screw-lock. As a matter of fact, this same company has a pair that you can pick up. THe bars are unnecessarily long...limited the number of exercises to some extent.

Awesome DB Handles
These handles far exceeded my expectations. First, packaging was overkill (in a good way). Wrapped tight and individually shipped in there own tubes. Second, no sloppy welds, lines or sharp edges, and powder-coat is perfect.These guys take pride in fabricating quality equipment. Quality is on par with BWTG. Lastly, to those who gripe about oly collars not fitting, know what your getting and don't be an idiot. Invest in some OSO or lockjaw axle collars. Hope you guys expand your product line on Amazon.

Don’t buy! Almost hit my face
Don’t buy! Did not come with a collar and the regular Olympic size collar does not fit! Had to purchase an adjustable collar and almost hit my face when bench pressing! If an Olympic size collar does not fit, why not state that or make it a set?! Also... very uncomfortable when trying to bench heavy. Wide grip feel weird
