 Decent weight set February 6, 2009

These are decent weights - carry case arrived damaged, it was replaced for us - the weights themselves are solid and easy to handle.
Caveat: a 40 pound set is not much weight - I figured it would be plenty for me as I'm just getting into this, but actually my wife's outgrown them as well.
Thing is, the bar weighs 5 pounds, you get 15 pounds of assorted weight for each of the two bars, total 40 pounds, this allows you to set up from 5 to 20 pound dual dumbbells or a single up to 35 pounds - not quite enough to get there from here.
Plan on adding a few more 5 pounder or 10 pounders to it, is all - they are available separately so no big deal. I've set these bars up with 65 pounds of weights with no problem using 10 pounders.
The bars are good quality and have rubber washers to lock the weights in place.
For some exercises the 14 inch bars get in the way compared to simple hex dumbbells, and it does take a while to change weights between moves, but it's tolerable, especially compared to blowing $500 on adjustable weights with plastic adjustment tabs, no less.
For the price, keep a couple sets around - you get more versatility in weight, and you get the ability to set up 2 sets for yourself at a time - allowing quicker workouts at the weight of your choosing without investing in a zillion separate dumbbells.
Would definitely do again.
 Average quality, terrible smell June 2, 2009

The quality is what you expect. They are your basic set of dumbbells. The carrying case will likely get damaged in shipment. Mine had a dented corner and broken latch.
But the case would be the least of my worries. Like the other reviewer, mine came with an incredibly strong gasoline scent and the bars are covered in this oily slightly sticky... substance. It leaves your hands smelling of gas even after a couple washes.
 Pretty much what I expected May 22, 2009

It's your basic Chinese-made slide-on dumbbell set. The vendor shipped quickly, and the case arrived undamaged. One of the two bars is about 1/8" longer than the other, making it a little more difficult to insert back into the case. That bar also didn't have the two rubber washers on each end of the handle that the other bar did, making the weight plates harder to snug up and more 'clangy' (is that a word?). Easily fixed with a trip to the hardware store and the purchase of a few 1" ID O-rings. Knocked off one star for my gas costs.
As another reviewer states, having a few more weight plates around is convenient. I bought an extra four 10# plates on sale at the local sports store. Any standard 1" ID plate will work. The total cost of this set plus the extra plates was still less than 1/4 the cost of an adjustable set, and suits my needs just fine.
Good enough for the price you pay September 3, 2009

My boyfriend really wanted a set of adjustable dumbbells where he could get a bench and lift weights at home. I don't know much about weights (i.e. quality, sturdiness, difference in material, etc..) but from what I can tell, he's pretty happy with it! Compared to the other sets that range from at least $200 to $350 for the weights, I think the fifty bucks I spent was a good deal. They don't look at nice and sleek as the other more expensive weights, but they do the job. So like I said, I don't know much about weights and did not realize that 40lbs meant the total weight of everything! I thought it was 40lbs per weight. He was looking for 50lb weights each, so that explains how I got these so cheap. However, this brand sells identical weights that you can buy online, or even at Sports Authority, which I did. I got him four more individual 10lb weights, so now it's about 40lbs per dumbbell. If he wanted, I think he could use one dumbbell and attach enough weights to make it 50lbs for one dumbbell. And the 10lb weights were about $10 apiece, so overall it only cost about $100 which is still cheaper. They do smell kind of funny, but I don't know if that's just what weights smell like?
Exactly what I needed July 4, 2009

Fast Shipping, Excellent product(weights, bars and spinners) in my opinion, I didn't give it 5 stars because I think the "hinges" on the case should be more durable and also the case had a petroleum odor to it but that went away after 5 or so days. For the case I would suggest leaving it open or taking all the items out of the case and store the case away, otherwise I feel the "hinges" would completely break after a dozen or so of opening/closing case. I have opened/closed it about 4 times and one of the "hinges" has a crack halfway through it. 2 "hinges" per case and the "hinges" are a thin flat piece of plastic. The rest of the case seems really durable and has dividers incorporated into it for the weights, and the bars and spinners are not much so for dividers, but they can still be organized. Other than that and with this in mind it should serve me for many years and has made me a excellent home starter gym until I get strong enough to buy more plates.
