I've used this axle a number of times. The finish holds chalk nicely. It has a noticeably thinner feel at 1.9" vs a full 2" axle. The lack of a true center marking is pretty frustrating given the price. A hand-placed off-center sticker doesn't really scream premium in the way the price tag does.

I used to have a set up to 60s but sold everything above 30 to help pay for my repin adjustable DBs. These are fine DBs that serve their purpose. The handle shape is honestly pretty comfortable though the knurling is merely a suggestion. It's like someone whispered the word knurling while they were produced and they called it a day.

There's simply no better way to maintain your barbells than this brush. Borderline inexcusable to not have one in your gym. Legal disclosure: I am the official glute model for this company

Definitely a challenging grip implement. Probably only recommended if you'll be competing in a grip event with this type of piece. Feels criminally underpriced given the free shipping and included carabiner.

Fun "key pinch" training tool. It's a bit of a novelty, but it's unironically a great way to build thumb strength. Wonder if this will travel to WNESD with me this summer 🤔

Really fun training tool to add a bit of variety on cable movements. I like adding these in on a final set to add some extra volume past failure. They can be a bit finicky and will sometimes pop out mid rep if the weight is not controlled.

Great option for a very versatile grip implement. Tons of different handles are available for it, and those handles also work on many other tools from Arm Assassin. The spin isn't great on this compared to other rolling handles, but it's tough to beat the value and versatility. 1.9" round handle pictured.

Excellent budget option vs the more expensive versions from other companies. Also available in multiple sizes.
