These are nice handles for shrugs and walks. The balance is good. I just wish the handles were knurled. The handles are very light but hold the plates without any issues.

I am rating these as an entry level item. There are much better ones out there but for the price they are really good. Good design, well balanced and strong. They would be perfect if the handles had good knurling. You can get a lot of weight on these things but they get hard to hang on to and need a fairly aggressive knurling to help grip. You can use them for shrugs, farmer carries, all kinds of stuff.

Great material holds good, have put good weight on this and welds and material has held strong as good as the name brands. Will purchase another set for my other gym.

It’s perfect for farmer’s carries and makes progressive overload much easier to achieve.

These are easy to use. They don't get in the way when you are walking. Take a decent amount of weight also. You can also row with them if you like.

I love how compact they are and you can really load up the weight. Wish the handles had some knurling on them as the powder coating is a little slick but that is a minor issue.

I was looking to do more farmer's walks. This is a good solution.

Original bought these for farmers walks, but I use them for shrugs, bent over rows, biceps and more. Ended up being much more versatile than expected.Haven't loaded then up super heavy yet since I'm just getting back into working out. But have been solid up to 65 lbs per hand with bumper plates so far.

It came packed nicely with lots of protection. First thing I did was go into my workout room and toss three plates on each one and go for a few sets of different workouts. It held up a few tosses and drops and I see no reason these wouldn't last ages. The handles and design are perfect for their intended use.Potentially if you are VERY short the handles might be too long, but I think you would know that without anyone having to say it for this piece of gear.I did notice that with three full bumper plates the collars I use just BARELY had enough grip. So I used two bumpers and a standard plate to guarantee grip. If I used my slim collars I could use three full sized bumpers no issue but I prefer my non spring collars.

Usually when I chose to do the farmers walk exercise I just grab some dumbells or if I want to work on my grip strength I will pick up some plates. But I thought why not give these farmers walk handles a try. The first thing I noticed was the handles sometimes get in the way and will hit your legs if you are not careful. 2nd is that these handles put the weight distribution at an awkward angle if using heavy weight which is not comfortable. 3rd thing is the welds are not complete which leads to loss in strength and stability of these handles over time. Overall I think a great idea but I will be sticking to just using dumbbells or plates for my farmers walk excercises.
