Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review is for the chrome bar and not the coated option. This bar is well made but the threaded sleeves are awful. At this point I can't even place my hands on the sleeves without getting metal shard splinters. So this makes loading the bar when its on the floor, like for deadlifts or rows, a major pain. I've posted photos so you can see the metal shards on the sleeves and another with one with a metal splinter in my finger. Nothing like taking a break from your workout to pull out splinters.
