Barbell Rubber Coated Dumbbell Weight Set with Vertical Rack | 100 lb, 150 lb, and 210 lb Options

After reading the reviews, I was quite hesitant to purchase these dumbbells, but I simply couldn't beat the price of their Labor Day sale, so I took my chances. First, I only received 3 of my 4 boxes. UPS issue, not CAP. More on that later. One of the boxes was rather wet from the oil, or whatever was on the rubber. No biggie. My husband assembled the rack in a matter of minutes after he got a wrench. While he was doing that, I washed the dumbbells (minus the 25 lbs set - which was in the missing box) in the utility sink with Lava soap and my hands. They cleaned up well! Prior to being washed, yes, they were dirty and smelled really bad of new rubber - like a tire shop. After being washed, the odor was minimal. After they were all washed and dried, I placed them on the rack. The rack is quite sturdy, especially with the weights on it. I got the rubber hex ends with the metal grip. The grip is nice, not sharp at all. The tree rack is great for small spaces, but you do have to be careful when placing the weights. It would be quite easy to pinch a finger in/on it. As soon as we were done with the rack, and washing the dumbbells, we got the boxes out of the house, as most of the odor seemed to be coming from them. It's now been five days, and I don't smell them at all. As for the missing box...... UPS insisted they delivered it. When I followed their delivery email, there was an option to see the location of the delivery on a map. They delivered it to a house 23 miles away! I notified UPS, and was basically told to pound sand, even though they knew where they delivered it, and had the contact information for the person that lives there. They told me to contact the seller. I tried to reach Amazon, but could only get their stupid bot that eventually said it couldn't help, and to contact CAP. At least they gave me a phone number. I called CAP, and got a recorded message stating to email them. I did, with all the information - tracking number, address where it should have been delivered, address where it was delivered, etc. I almost immediately got a response asking for the tracking number. (I was really losing hope, but hang in there, CAP did well!) I responded that it was in the email, and provided it again in my reply. That was Friday. In the meantime, I went on a hunt to find the person who lives where the box was delivered. It took all day to find contact information so I could reach out to them. It turns out, they also ordered a 150 lb dumbbell set, and theirs was delivered the same day as mine. Long story short, our orders were processed at the same UPS distribution facility, and one of my boxes was grouped with theirs and sent to them. Fortunately, they were honest, and actually quite nice, and I was able to make the 46 mile round trip and get my dumbbells and bring them home. Fast forward to today. CAP emailed again, stating that they were processing an order to replace my 25 lb dumbbells. They did the right thing, and were doing what they could to correct the issue, even though it was a UPS error. Kudos to CAP!!! (I did email them to cancel the order and let them know that I had resolved the issue myself.) UPS, on the other hand, deserves a 0 star rating for their performance. It's absolutely ridiculous that they know where they delivered a package and refuse to do anything about it.

This was a great, economical choice for us considering the cost of dumbbells out there. Assembling the rack was quick, you need a wrench to tighten the nylon nuts that are included, but they give you an allen wrench and the instructions are easy to follow. The weights themselves look good and i test-weighed a couple and they were accurate. It's a good started set until we need more weight, but CAP makes it easy to add on. Recommended if you want a quality, long-lasting set of dumbbells to get your started on your muscle-building journey.

These are an excellent value. Shipped in 4 separate packages but everything arrived in perfect shape. For the cost I was surprised at just how nice the finish is on the handles and the rubberized coating on the ends seems quite rugged and actually looks nice. I didn't find the oil on them to be anything that couldn't be wiped off with a rag in a few minutes. While the rubberized coating on the weights does smell like a tire shop, I feel like the reviews stating how strong the smell is are wildly exaggerated. Some might actually like the smell of a tire shop anyway. I'm positive this will fade to nothing over the course of several weeks of use. The stand assembly is pretty quick and painless - although as others mentioned having either an adjustable wrench or a 13mm (I think that's what it was) dedicated ratcheting wrench make assembly a breeze. The stand is a very welcome addition at this price point and keeps the weights nicely organized. I can't imagine finding a better value for a new set of dumbbells.

As others have mentioned, these are shipped in three boxes of weights at 50# each, and one narrow box that holds the stand. In my case, while extremely heavy duty boxes were used, and well taped, one of the boxes was sliced open and minor damage to rubber ends of DBs in that box occurred. Looks like it was slid over something which cut it through. In any event, 2x5, 2x10, 2x15, 2x20, 2x25# DBs are included, making this an excellent "base" set. Handles are knurled and as expected in diameter and abrasiveness. No gloves required, but your mileage may vary. Is there a smell? seems to be the burning question. Of course they have a smell. They were just born of chemicals. They smell like what they are: rubber. So if you have ever had a new bike tire in your house, that is the smell, multiplied by a few pairs. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I was able to start using right away. I cannot relate at all to folks who seemed like they were going to swoon after opening the boxes. NOTE: I "washed" these with dish soap and water before using because they are covered in manufacturing residual dust etc. and will make your hands filthy otherwise. Mine did *not* have any kind of oily residues, as others have mentioned; again, just new tire smell, which for me is not obnoxious. But hey- some people think cilantro tastes terrible, so there is no accounting for taste. NOTE #2: Unlike the way Amazon's own brand and some other DBs I have purchased are wrapped, these were just loose in the box. No Styrofoam, no placement in a baggie, nada. Just in the box. So they are not going to be 100% brand new and flawless looking when you take them out. Get over it. They're dumbbells. They'll look like that in a couple months of workouts anyway. Also, because there is no protection, be judicious in opening the boxes. Just slice around the tape so you are not gouging a chunk out of your new best friends. I got these for basically a buck a pound, which is what weights were before Covid, and what they should be anyway, and held off on buying them until I hit the sale amount. Having said that, they would still be worth it for the $200 amount too, of course, just slightly less of a bargain. As has been mentioned by other reviewers, the A-frame is easy to put together, but will take your fingers off if you are not watching what you are doing when replacing the weights onto the rack, something which was also true at many gyms I have used and is a bug and not a feature of this style of rack. Definitely recommend, and would purchase again. Plan on augmenting with additional weights and eventually using a horizontal rack for all of them, but this was a steal-- and delivered on top of it. I am keeping the boxes. These are some of the heaviest duty boxes I have had sent to me. You should keep them until your return date is over anyway, in the event something untoward happens and they need to go back.
