    I bought this 50 pound weight to work out with and so far it’s holding up. The weight is perfect for my build, and seems very sturdy. I can only say that yes, the black rubber housing does seem to release black when wiped down with a wet wipe. I do not know if all brands allow this or if it’s just this brand, but I do not mind it; maybe with more time and use, this stops eventually. Who knows, but I do wipe down my weights occasionally. But despite this, I would still recommend this weight to anyone. Great purchase!!

    Excellent dumbbell

    This dumbbell is great, is heavy-duty, functional, and with an excellent grip. I prefer these rubber coated over vinyl since it is a lot softer on surfaces. There is enough space to grip and not all uncomfortable. The gripping bar is 5 inches long, and the entire dumbbell length is 12 inches. I like hex shade over plate dumbbells because they don’t roll around on the floor. It does have some smell, which is familiar with this type of rubber, but that goes away within a few days. Overall, I am delighted with the high quality, looks and feels great. I like them so much that I will get more with different lbs to improve my workout routine.

    These are perfect and affordable. Needed weights to fit on my bike and the Tru Grit 5 pound ones do perfectly. Love them and excited to use them.

    With pandemic and gym closures, was looking for quality dumbbell sets for routine workouts at home and these Dumbbells are excellent and very well made. The heavy duty rubber encased hexagon shaped help prevents from rolling for safety and easy storage. The chrome handle is contoured and textured for a secure comfortable grip and ergonomic fit that reduces hand fatigue. Love the pair of 20lbs(each) for working out arms, chest and various upper/Lower body routines. Planning to get other sizes of 5 and 10pounds to accommodate specific exercises. Why spend too much for branded ones as this one is excellent value for the price it has to offer. Highly recommend.

    Great product. The weights are as stated and shake out to be within a few ounces of the listing weight (I bought a few different sizes). Times like these true dumbbells are hard to come by. Fast and free shipping (on weights!!) make them a no brainer.

    It's a rubber coated dumbbell. Crazy heavy. I like the contoured grips, and the fact no on in the house can move them. Where ever I put them down, that's where they'll be.

    Well constructed dumbbells

    These dumbbells are really well constructed. The hexagon shape doesn't roll around on the floor, the rubberized ends don't scuff up the floor or generate a ton of noise when setting them down, and there are no moving parts jostling around as you life and lower the weight. In short, these are excellent weights. The only complaint I have is that they stank something awful when I first unboxed them. It was a very strong, chemical odor. It took a good four days for the odor to fade. Aside from that though, these have been terrific.

    Weights may seem like a simple product but given that barbell weights have been very difficult to find in stores since COVID hit, they are indeed a very popular item. I looked for months trying to find any barbell weights in sporting goods stores. These 20 lb. weights from Best Buy came quickly. I checked them on a scale and the weight is very accurate. The construction is similar to those other rubber-coated barbells, maybe a shade better. These are a great addition to my home gym and I will keep with this brand as I expand out my barbell set..

    One of the great finds in this pandemic is scarce weightlifting equipment! I was fortunate, my husband has always worked out at home, so we had several sets of dumbbells, but not 20 pound ones. He has a set of those adjustable ones, too big and too much trouble for me. I like to be able to drop down if I want while I’m in the middle of working out. I had to get used to working out at home, so I like to keep my eye open for adding equipment. These hex head dumbbells are so much better than the plain iron hex head ones we already have. The handle is somewhat shaped for your hand, there are already several pictures posted, so I won’t be redundant and add more, but it makes it feel like the weight isn’t as heavy as it is. A straight grip feels heavier. I weighed these weights, both were 19.8 on my scale, that is within the acceptable range for a 20 pound weight. The dimensions are 12.25” long, 5.25” width, and the handle is approx. 5” long between the ends of the dumbbell. Hex head dumbbells are my favorite because you can do renegade rows with them, using them as grips in your hand, and they don’t roll away. And it is easy to hold one with both hands. The handle grip has cross-hatching so it has some grip in your hand. I wear gloves but it still helps keep the dumbbell in my hand without slipping. These are black rubber dumbbells, and yes they smell like it. It takes a while to get rid of the smell, but it does go away eventually. The rubber is better for your floors, and should hold up for a long time.
