" ...  Fell apart above my head.  ...  "
comment
" ...  After that, the piece you lift to adjust the weight starts to become difficult to move. ... Once that starts to happen, the dumbbells start to fall apart. ... Even with the 50% discount, I still feel ripped off.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Also, the plastic handle not being textured at all is ridiculous.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Pieces have already fallen out of the dumbells (not weights but other plastic parts) after very gentle use for 2 weeks. ... They are functional, but today one plastic piece fell into the dumbbell station and, after use, I couldn't get the slide to move and change the weight.  ...  "

" ...   Very disappointed the weights literally fell off while my son was bench pressing very dangerous.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I finally worked out the jamb, which was caused by a little plug that fell out from inside of the plate. ... It was used to cover the screws. ... BUT you have to align them perfectly in the base, or the plates won't go in, or get stuck, or you won't be able to adjust them. ... Plus, after literally five reps, the handle came loose.  ...  "

" ...  These little plastic tabs break or come off while lifting and cause the plates to stick together or worst , fall off.  ...  "

" ...  Like many other reviewers, one of my dumbbells was falling apart right out of the box. ... One head of the dumbbell is not securely fastened to the handle and slips around while working out. ... This is extremely disappointing and POTENTIALLY MORBIDLY DANGEROUS if the entire dumbbell head were to land on someone's skull.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The second set that was mailed to "replace" them came with one weight that just completely doesn't work. ... If the weight would have broken while doing any over the head lifting exercises, it probably would have killed me.  ...  "
comment
" ...  We were lucky that no one got hurt when the head snapped.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have not had any weights fall out as other reviewers have cited, but they jiggle when I use them so I have very little faith that they won't come down on me one day.  ...  "

" ...  if your hands start to sweat at all, which they should if you're working out, don't grip well at all!  ...  "
comment
" ...  A real pain  ...  "
comment
" ...  And they're so wide that it really stresses the grip in a bad way. ... On top of that the grip is mostly smooth plastic and sweaty hands make these unusable.  ...  "

" ...  Biggest draw back: weight plates don't sit well in holder.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Do NOT purchase this product - The first time I tried to use these weights, one of the plates got jammed against another, making adjustment impossible. ... I finally worked out the jamb, which was caused by a little plug that fell out from inside of the plate. ... It was used to cover the screws. ... Ultimately, about 7 of these came dislodged. ... BUT you have to align them perfectly in the base, or the plates won't go in, or get stuck, or you won't be able to adjust them. ... Plus, after literally five reps, the handle came loose.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Like many other reviewers, one of my dumbbells was falling apart right out of the box. ... One head of the dumbbell is not securely fastened to the handle and slips around while working out. ... When the head slides away from the handle, the 2.5 LB plate increments fall out. ... While the dumbbell head hasn't fallen off the handle completely, I don't feel like risking even a 2.5 LB plate dropping on my head while I'm doing shoulder presses.  ...  "
