Barbell Clips Olympic Clamps Barbell Collars Weight Clips for Bars Home Gym Accessories for Secure Weightlifting & Powerlifting Quick Release Locking 2 Inch Barbell for Strength Training (Magnet)

This set of 2 inch barbell clamps are a great addition to my home gym. They fit my olympic bar well, are easy to open and close, and provide a tight grip with the rubberized interior. This keeps plates in place, making them very functional. They seem of decent quality, and should withstand some knocking around or repeated on and off cycles. There are a total of 4 magnets on one side of the clamps. While they work well, and make it a bit easier to use than only having 2 magnets, they do appear a bit hastily glued on. If you look at the listing, the magnets look very secure and almost built in to the clamp. In reality, however, you can see the white dried glue all around the perimeter of each magnet. Whether that means that they are glued well, or not, will remain to be seen. However esthetically they look sloppy. Note that the opposite side of the clamps have small black circles where the magnets are on the other side. These, however are not magnetic. All in all these work well and are a good value for the price. Some brands charge obscene amounts of money for similiar products. If you don't mind the dried glue around the magnets, then this is probably a good buy. Time will tell as to how the magnets hold up. I will more than likely attempt to slide them off my rack, rather than pull it, to hopefully minimize shearing forces on the magnets.

The media could not be loaded. These olympic bar weight keepers are easy to use because I don't have to squeeze them in order to get them onto the bar. They have a quick release latch. Each keeper also has a set of magnets, and they do a great job at keeping the weights held in place.
