★★☆☆☆
No locking mechanism
I concur with other comments - the bar is cheaply made, the screws strip, etc. It's what you should expect from a cheap $15 bar. My bigger issue is with the design. You twist the middle part to extend the ends that lock it into place. But when you use the bar, the middle twists and can fall right out of the brackets. It is also bad for the wrist to have something constantly rotating around. So here's a solution: When the bar is fixed in place, drill a pilot hole on the inside of the extension part on each side of the bar. Sink a short screw in and you have it fixed in place (see image). You then have to remove the screws to take the bar out, and you have to locate the holes to get the bar back in, but it's probably worth it for the stability.
