Everyday Essentials Olympic Super Curl Barbell Curl Bar, 48 inch (350 lb Weight Capacity)

This EZ Curl bar has exceeded my expectations. The shipping packaging was a strong cardboard tube with plastic end caps stapled and taped down with the bar wrapped inside with thick plastic wrap. Not a stretch or ding anywhere on the really nice chrome coating.My clients and I have used this bar for a month now and I couldn’t be happier. The bar is solid and the bends are clean, even and equal on both sides. The knurling feels great and helps to grip for things like Curls and Skullchrushers.Not that it’s needed but the sleeves roll smoothly and there isn’t too much slop from bar to bushings to sleeves.I’ve used Curl bars that cost 2-3 times more than this and they don’t hold a candle to this bar. The value alone makes this bar a keeper but my clients and friends won’t know the difference because this bar looks and works great like a much more expensive piece of gym equipment.I’m so glad I pulled the trigger and took a risk on this “cheap” bar...that turned out to not be cheap at all...just a great deal all around.

This bar is strong, sturdy and a good value. It is a great addition to my home gym. The knurling will not cut into your skin and the angles are what I was looking for. I read some reviews of people complaining about the weight of the bar. I have not weighed the bar but I can tell it is not 25 pounds. BUT...this is a quality bar that can hold a lot of weight. So what if it doesn't weigh 25. I am more focused on the weight that goes on it and how the bar performs. Say I put 50 pounds on it. Should I really complain and return the bar because I am lifting about 70 instead of 75??? Come on, it's about the work and effort you put in. It's a good bar at a good price and that's good enough for me.The packaging sucked because the box was broken and unsealed but I really don't care about the cardboard that it came in. The bar arrived unharmed and that is good enough for me. I'm about the package...not the packaging.

So yes, there is a typo on their production description that states it's 25 pounds, it's not, it's 18.4 pounds, even on the full product details where the Amazon SKU info is, it states 19 pounds, so it's a mistake, but that doesn't really take away from how good the bar is. Arrived with great packaging. It is made in china for those that ask. When first opened it did feel like it had some light oil on the entire bar so I wiped it down with a microfiber cloth. Doesn't come with clamps so you need those. Was able to add my weights on with no issues, 70 pounds to test out. Curling was great, found no issues. Looks well made and very sturdy. Can do multiple exercises with the bar. For the price, you get a great bar that hopefully lasts. The warranty states 2 years so should I run into any issues I'll update on that front. I didn't find anything to not like, so I would certainly recommend to others!

The product is durable and of great quality! The diameter of the shaft is the perfect size for my small hands (just to get an idea.. I'm 5'2" and fit size S in the latex gloves). It allows me to successfully complete a set without losing grip or reach fatigue in my forearms before I can even get a good workout in (which can get pretty frustrating if the diameter of the shaft is too large). The loadable sleeve length (the ends of the bar) is long enough to fit as many plates as you want and its diameter is 2 inches which is the right fit for the standard weighted plates. However, the knurling isn't as great as a more expensive EZ curl bar, but it still has the hand grips near the center which gets the job done. Because of the limited knurl patterns, you will be limited on hand placements. The two sections on either side with knurl are the most common hand placements, so I'm not really at a disadvantage when doing any workouts. Other than the limited knurling, the bar itself is comfortable, provides great grip, and is more on the affordable side compared to other places!

This is a perfectly fine ez curl bar. Not the best I've ever touched, but for the price, it's a fantastic deal.The bearings are smooth, only a small about of wiggle up and down.The bends/grips on the bar are at an expected angle. Easier on the wrist/bicep than a straight bar.The knurling is quite intense. It's the roughest knurling I've felt. Some may consider that good, some may not like it. A pair of gloves is a good workaround if it bothers you.I feel like the grip on the bar is a little thin, but it seems to be a standard diameter, so that's not a problem with the bar, probably just my large hands. Again, gloves help with that.There are minor manufacturing imperfections along my bar. Nothing that bothers me as it was so cheap, but someone else may be annoyed by it. I attached some pictures. It really doesn't change the usability of the bar, it's just aesthetics.Packing was a big tube, inside a long rectangular box, shipped out by Amazon. Both boxes were in excellent shape when delivered.Overall, very cheap and useful ez curl bar. I'm happy with the purchase.

I feared this would not be a good bar because it was so inexpensive. The first delivery I received the bar was damaged and my fears were realized. But the replacement was fast and easy to order, it shipped fast and once it arrived, the bar was perfect. Great value since all the others were so much more expensive. So after a few workouts the bar is holding up well, feels sturdy and a good addition to any home gym. so far, pleased with the purchase.
