FlexWave Straight Olympic Barbell, Alloy Steel, 2-Inch Diameter, Silver Finish, 6FT

very affordable price however upon receiving the barbell there are some minimal rust but still acceptable. It also comes with lock so you dont need to buy a separate

Great price great feel In The hands the description is true to my purchase , will recommend to others

If you're looking for a barbell looking no further this one's worth every penny

Great bar for the money! Not a standard 7ft bar but meets all other needs

Item as described. Excellent condition.

Good bar, shorter and lighter weight than usual bar but still takes the 2” plates have had no issues with it yet. Did not come with any clamps like other bars have

So I was really excited for this. $30 for a 6 foot Olympic barbell? That's a steal, but I was obviously a little skeptical. The reviews seem mixed, but I was willing to risk $30. It was supposed to come on September 1st. The package was delayed by 3 days. Every day it would tell me it's coming, then I wouldn't come and I would have to keep waiting. It was annoying, but it finally came. First of all, the packaging was terrible. Annoying to take off and looked atrocious. It took like 15 minutes to take off, which is ludicrous. I noticed it has sleeve spin, which i wasn't expecting, but it's genuinely smooth and nice. It fits my barbell clips, bumper plates and cast iron plates, which was one of my worries. But it's good. Now, when I grabbed the bar, I noticed, there was no center knurling. The only knurling on the bar is the outer knurling, the least useful. Judging by the other reviews about the bar, I'm inclined to assume these are barbells that didn't pass a quality check or was made wrong and bought from an actual maker or facility. Now I would give this 3 stars, but functionally it works as a barbell and I'll only be using it temporarily. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone looking for a barbell that would last them for their entire lives, but good enough for 1 month to a year until you can afford something better. The knurling is actually decent so if you get a complete bar, I would say this could last you a few years before you're sick of it. For now, I'll just be wrapping some electrical tape around the bar to make up for the lack of knurling and hope it's good for my temporary use.

Does the job

Box item delivered in was open. Horrible packaging. Item also arrived broken. End caps of the bar were off and can't be put back on. There is also a rattling inside the bar so unsure what piece came loose. Not impressed with this item and how it was delivered.

Absolute junk of a bar. Sharp grooves on the ends. Rattles and makes a lot of noise. Some plates fit, some don't.
