PowerBlock dumbbells

[bevo barry]

Anyone own or tried them? If so, thumbs up or down?

 

[Horn9497]

I own them and like them. I just have the basic set (up to 50 lbs per dumbbell, I believe). They are pretty solid and save space in my exercise room.

I have them and like them also.

If you can get past the ugly design, they do work well. I've got the expanded 80+ lb set.

I've wondered about those too, I've read that you have to be careful due to the magnetic clips slipping out or something like that. Could someone clarify if it's true or false?

 

[todobravo]

Never had that problem with mine. But, can't say I use them as much as I should.

 

[Horn9497]

I've never had them slip out and don't really know what the magnetic clip would be. There is a pin type deal that you insert in the side and that controls how many of the "plates" get picked up. I use mine a few times a week and they've been good.

I knew it had to be either clips or pins....I read that users had problems with them falling out or something in that nature, but if you dont have any problems with dumbbells; Would you suggestion someone to buy them?

Mine to have a magnet that keep the pins held in. I've never had a problem with the pin falling out. Go check a pair out.
