HulkFit 1 inch or 2 inch Cast Iron Weight Plate Set with Multi-Grip Handles and Enamel Coated for Barbells & Strength Training - Grey

works very well for the price. smooth and no sharp edges. quality product

They're weights. They serve their purpose. I would recommend you place a separate order for each, if buying more than one. I tried twice to order a pair, and both times the shipment was returned in transit due to damage. I guess they have trouble packing and shipping anything that heavy. I ended up having to place a separate order for each of the two I purchased, to get them delivered. It's unfortunate, as I wouldn't have cared if they showed up wrapped in duct tape, they would have been fine, but I guess once the box got damaged too badly, they considered the product was likely too damaged to deliver.

Hey. It weighs 25lbs. That's its only job, which it does.

Amidst all this COVID mayhem, it's been very hard to locate iron plates (and dumbbells). I've been checking local fitness suppliers weekly for months and they have nothing in stock. They keep telling me "we expect them sometime next month". That began in March 2020 and it's now it's nearly December 2020.I went online months ago searching for plates and the iron plate prices have been astonishing, even for used stuff on eBay. Plates used to be about $1.50 a pound and I've seen plate prices over $5 a pound for the brand name iron. So when I saw these plates, I took a chance and ordered them. I wasn't sure what level quality they would be and when one of the plates arrived today, I was pleasantly surprised.Pro:-Nice fit and finish-The plate was exactly 25 pounds - I put it on my shipping scale (see photo). With generic plates, you never know about the weight accuracy but mine was perfect-Easier to grab versus solid round plates-$2 a pound is reasonable given the circumstances-Quick free shipping - the second plate is due in a couple of days - split shipment. No matter, as long as the quality is good I can happily wait another 2 days for the second plate after searching for them for 8-9 monthsCon:-None that I can see.I've been a gym rat for 50+ years and it's always been at a membership gym, never had much of my own equipment but COVID has changed that. While I prefer a real gym with my lifting buddies, we have to make concessions these days so I've finally accumulated enough gear for a "COVID home gym".Gyms in NY where I am located had been closed from March - July. They closed last week, probably for months again so a backup plan is required. Even after COVID clears up, hopefully in another 6+ months or so, I'll still have my backup gear for when the weather is bad or I don't have time for a gym run.Based on what I've seen and measured with these particular plates, I highly recommend them. Hope that helps!

came earlier then expected but the weights are also a little bit smushed but overall its great and recommend buying.

Excellent weights look new , how ever I painted mine to give my area more light . Also if you have any problems with the shipment? It’s not the *deal* I found out the hard way , when I checked the package it said it was shipped , I found out that some United States post office dont like to pick up packages 45 pounds or more ,so I had to go to post office , driver also said he delivered package but did not / I had to go to post office, to pick up weight ,He or she just left package at the post office when I went to the post office. The guy working at post offices told me with some packages are too heavy, Sometimes the driver leaves them. So one of them took 3 weeks when dealer sent out the 2 at the same time . I think they separately ship them because maybe it’s cheaper also easier on drivers . I also wished I ordered the weight with the 2” inch hole to be equivalent with the gym I go to .Because the Olympic bar is 25 pounds more than my bar so I have to add more weights to keep up😞, so be careful at the gym that Olympic bar 25 or more pounds makes a big different . 45 pound weights are excellent great buy love them

I've had problems with cast iron weights rusting. This has a durable painted finish, no sharp edges.

Works as intended.
