Eisenlink Adjustable Dumbbell Set, 10-50/80lb, 5lb Increments, Quick-Lock Square Weight Dumbbells for Home Gym Fitness (50/80lb×2)

Great space saving dumbbells that are pretty easy to adjust and should last a lifetime. What you lose in not being quite as fast and easy as turning the knob to the desired weight (you will have to do some math) you gain in durability and some savings for a home gym. I love that they're square and they don't roll and they're nice and flat for French presses. The grips on them are fantastic and they go from 10 to 80 pounds in 5 pound increments where some of the other adjustable ones have odd and inconsistent increments. The only drawback is how to store the plates when they are not in use. I have seen people who have built some racks out of wood on youtube. I hang them from wire shelves in a metro rack to hang them and that seems to work just fine, but there is no storage system available from the manufacturer which would have been a nice addition but you are left to figure that out on your own. At the end of the day you could just stack the up on the floor. The plates do interlock physically and magnetically.

Quality work. Heavy weight. Does the job. Adjustment is simple. Likely easy to use for the far future, unlike "cheaper" alternatives that work like dials and lose functionality after a year or two. Grip is modestly large. Nothing crazy, but something to bear in mind if you have smaller hands. I have medium size hands. If you're not used to it, you'll feel it in your forearms. Good for your grip strength. I got it on sale just under $500, but worth the full price for utility and durability.

These are the buy once, cry once dumbbells you've been looking for. I bought two sets of 80-lb pairs and two Eisenlink longer screws for a total of just a little over $1000. - Durability: They are very stable. I have them at 120 lbs right now, and I would not hesitate to put on more. The peace of mind from not having worry about catastrophic equipment failure lets me focus more during the lift. When I did a drop test from knee height onto a rubber mat, I was more worried about the floor underneath than the confidence-inspiring build of the Eisenlink dumbbells. - Paint: I bring dumbbells together on presses until I hear a *clink,* which does chip away the paint. I am happy to see the paint chips away only in contact areas as opposed to entire sheets peeling off, like I've had in other brands. - Adjustment Speed: The plates are slower to change than knob or dial-style adjustable sets, but they are much faster than the nut styles that require you to remove the entire nut if you want to change the weights. - Grip: The handles are a little bigger than what you usually see in commercial gyms and other dumbbell sets. I have small hands, so I just squeeze harder lol. The knurling is nice when your hands are dry, but I wish it was a little bit more aggressive when I use more weight on it. - Balance: They are well balanced. The notch does not hinder usage at all. - Screw caps: The caps are smooth and feel good quality. They do not tear holes in my pants, cut up my thighs, or threaten to slip off like some other brands. The extended screw caps don't let you load less than 95 lbs, but for anything heavier they hold the plates snugly. If these ever break, that would be a lie because they won't break with proper use.

These dumbbells are great. Pros: The build quality is fantastic - I do not worry about them breaking if I have to drop them. Weight changes are quick - it takes me about 60 seconds to change weight both dumbbells, which is typically how long I like to rest between sets. Cost is very reasonable compared to the most similar competitor, IronMaster. Weights are very stable when secured - no rattling or fear that weights will fall out when in use. Tips: Add painters tape to the top of the fixed weight to quickly tell if the weights are facing the right direction to unscrew - I saw another review suggest this and it made weight changing much quicker. I also added a small piece of painters tape to the 2.5 lb weights - this also made weight changes quicker, and made it easier to tally up how much weight is on the dumbbell at a glance (pictures included showing this) My only (small) complaint is that the grips feel quite a bit thicker than standard dumbbells you might use in a gym - this makes them a bit tougher to grip when you have sweat on your hands - not a huge deal but there is a bit of an adjustment period to this.

Such a great product with virtually unlimited potential unless you’re a pro strongman. Love how solid the dumbbells feel and the ease of loading and unloading weight! Never have to worry about these breaking unlike many systems sold online. Pretty solid investment if you want dumbbells that can be loaded well beyond 100lbs each while saving money and space. Can even stack weight with the starter 50lb dumbbell to make a 80lb dumbbell for heavy movements such as a goblet squat or single arm bent over row to save money initially

Build quality is very solid. No worries of these breaking at all. Grips feel really nice to me personally. There’s no assembly required though you can add additional weight to each dumbbell later. It’s very easy to go from 15lbs up to 50lbs, but it does take a little time. These aren’t the best choice for going from 10lbs to 50lbs quickly since you have to take the locks out of the dumbbells completely to get down to 10lbs. The shapes of the dumbbells being square is nice for some movements and not so good for others. For the money, these are a great option that will last a very long time. 4/5 with the only real downside being the time it can take to switch weight. If you need something quick, for faster weight changes, these might not be for you. Used them for over a month before reviewing.
