good value given the price.
i like it and i think the smell can be rid off.
i found a few ways on the net but not sure which one is the safest for the rubber parts.
has anyone tried anything and was successful?
thanks.

compared to the more expensive options, especially when you factor the shipping cost – amazon is offering a great deal on this item, with FREE shipping?? its a no brainer.
Pros -
-The weights can be easily adjusted from 5 lbs. to 20 lbs
-Came with a case to store the weights away with ease
-doesn’t replace going to the gym but does the fix for keeping fit during the in between times of free time at home
-can purchase more weights and add even more weight
Cons –
-The weights do give off a odd odor, but trust me, it goes away. just scrub em down with windex spray.
-The case…ehhhh. came cracked. could have done a better job with that but hey, for something less than $[...] bucks when everything else of the weight is $80 or more. can’t complain.
in summary: get it!!!

This was just another generic brand but it was worth buying since its just a weight and its purpose was to act as one and it does that well. Although the box may say 40lbs set its more like 5×2+2.5×2 which gives a total of 15 lbs and maybe 2 more pounds from the bar and bolts, which give you about 17lbs on each.
Pros:
~Very cheap: Compared to the other places I’ve seen. Amazon had a great deal at $35 and offered free shipping, this was the best deal I could find. Ebay had the same set for $85 so I’m gona look on amazon first from now on.
~Good value: Its a weight, you don’t need something special to that. This gets the job done with very little money spent. The carrying case is plastic but heavy duty.
~Size: It fits rather comfortably in my hand and feels fine when lifting. The bar is a standard 1 inch diameter and can fit up to 8 weights on one bar (4 on one end and 4 on the other). You can always add bigger weights that can be found on amazon or any flea market or add weights you already have.
Cons:
The black paint comes of kind of easily. Sometimes the knobs loosen, it just takes a sec to re-tighten and can be a sort of inconvenience. Changing weights can also take some time. 40 pounds is advertised but I got less. May require extra weights.
Synopsis:
This is great for people who are starting out or want these type of weights. The value exceeds what your going to pay here at Amazon. I recommend this item over the expensive name brands.
