Adjustable Dumbbells

[sbk1972]

Hi all,

Considering buying a set of these .

Has anyone else brought a set ? Are they durable ? Ive seen a lot for sale on Facebook market place, many mention about being repaired or fixed which suggests these arent too good.

Seeking advice on a good set.

I've got the set that goes upto 40kg.

Not branded Bowflex but literally identical.

Seem pretty good, I doubt they'd survive being dropped or generally abused though.

How does the mechanism work ?

The spindle has tines on it which engage the plates.

I have a bowflex adjustable kettlebell which is decent.

Sounds good. I've similar: 41kg x 2 Powerblocks and can change weight in 1kg increments (per hand) - rate them highly.

I have some. Noisy(ish) in use, but generally really good.

Those are nicely made. I had a set I sold years a go.
