Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells

“myself and many others have experienced issues with Ironmaster plates falling off the dumbbell and nearly causing catastrophic damage to ourselves”

“I like the Ironmaster dumbbells more”

“I have had iron master 120lb set for over 20 years I want to say and this year I got maxed out rep pepin and I love them. They do rattle a bit during hammer curls and lighter wait”

“The only “downside” I’ve ever seen or can think of with them is the time to change weight, but I can knock it out in 30-45 seconds and that would be bare minimum rest time for me anyways.”

“I can't recommend the ironmaster dumbbells enough”

“I sold my iron masters for the Reppins (105’s). Glad I made that move. I’ve utilized the Reppins more within the 3 months than I did with the iron masters over the 3 years I owned them due to ease of adjusting the weights.”

“I went with IRONMASTER definitely slower weight change. I designated them heavy weight only and use my power blocks for everything else.”

“There are definitely tolerance issues that can cause the pin to not tightening properly. I usually just change the combination of weight plates to fix the problem but I too have had it drop once which is how I discovered the problem.”

“feel pretty much like fixed-weight dumbbells while in use and can go up to 165lbs with their add-on weight kits. And, they're super-durable so no issues if you enjoy dropping them.”

“I like everything else about them head shoulders over the bow flex or power block dumbbells”

“it is a little annoying that the handles are 6.5 inches of grip width but a normal pro-style dumbbell is 5.75 inches. Not a huge difference but I definitely remember feeling weird adjusting from gym dumbbells in terms of balance in my hand”

“I’ve had the iron master dumbbells for around 5 years now. Very good. The weight change can be a bit annoying”

“They're not the quickest to change but they're way more sturdy than any of the dial/spin adjustable dumbbells and more traditionally shaped than power blocks.”

“So far I'm happy (only did a couple sets)”

“Ironmasters overall are better but these are definitely quicker and easier to change than the ironmasters.”

“Love my iron masters. Switching weights isn't that big of a deal once you get used to it, unless you're super setting like crazy. Very durable and you can't beat the price when they are on sale”

“The bowflex were much quicker to adjust but the Ironmaster has a better "feel" to them”

“The ease of weight changes vs. my previous iron masters have been a game changer.”

“Other than a little surface rust on the grip portion of the dumbbells they are in the same condition as new and have seen many reps. They don't develop a rattle or anything over time that I have noticed.”

“I personally like the ironmasters the best. I worry about the longevity of adjustables with plastic parts over a few years (accidently dropping them, etc).”

“I’ve dropped them for over a decade and they’ve mostly held up. I also have the kettlebells. I did have one of the handles bend (the silver plate part, not the handle) and iron master sent me a replacement no questions asked. They are slow to change and working out with a partner is a pain”

“Ironmasters and clones thereof are definitely the most durable of all. So there’s no going wrong with those if you don’t care about quick weight changes.”

“Ironmaster - Safest and best quality but also the slowest”

“Mine pretty much look new except for some slight rust (barely) on the handles as well, which is pretty good considering I've done no maintenance on them.”
