I hated this bar for pressing. Passive knurl and just felt like it flexed under load. I’m not the heaviest bencher but with three plates you want to feel confident. I did cut the weight horns and use as a lat pulldown attachment. Same passive issues which are less concerning on a cable machine.

It’s ok. Smooth handles, lots of welding slag and it’s narrow. I put collars on before weights to keep my plates from hitting my rack because the bar is so short. That being said, I still like it for bench and I love it for overhead press

This is one of the most budget friendly multigrip bars on the market. That being said it feels cheap and the build quality is what you'd expect for a bottom budget option. The eyelet on top for cables is a nice thought, but even though it's light, it's way too big to be used in most cases.

Very good bar overall. Some weld slag (if that's the right term) on some of the handles but still usable. The bar is also only ~25lbs. I add 10lb plates first and then keep them on for a 45lb base for easier plate math, but it would have been nice if the bar just started at 45lb. It was probably kept light in order to be usable as a cable attachment but I don't see it being used that way very often. I love using it for bench press at multiple angles and especially love it for chest supported rows. The camber makes it great for a deep stretch on the bench and for proper ROM on rows. I see it advertised for curls and tricep movements but I don't think it works well for that due to the camber.
