How do you like them? I'm a bit disappointed with mine. They're so large. And one of them "sticks" so sometimes an extra plate comes with it, which almost dropped on my foot before. Anyone reading this, I'd go with one of the other options. They do the job but I expected better since they had been recommended so often.

@@toniscepanovic2938 Adrian addressed this in his Reppin review that Rep put out their drop test video comparing competitors. Even at their max 120 pounds, Reppins don't have any issues until you're starting to drop them from frankly unreasonable heights, like 5 feet. And that's on an edge too, where adjustables are weakest. I do believe that Nuobell engineers are working on an improvement to their durability with a design change.

I bought a pair of pepin pro series on marketplace with standard plates up to 120 pounds. They are slightly shorter than the ironmasters so the balance is not really an issue and when you screw them in which takes a bit more time (but i dont do supersets so idc) they feel exactly like a fixed dumbbell. The knurling is really good and they will never break. I love them and im very happy because pepin got that rep partnership since pepin is a local company for me (shoutout from canada).

I am somewhat similar. Have some plates and handles that go back to the '70s when I was in high school. And when plates were cheap I bought a pile of "standard" plates in all sizes. I use 1" washers from the hardware store to pad up the spin lock collars to being even with the threaded handle when I bench, so I can set them on my legs.

I have and love my Ironmaster and Powerblock combo! For quick drop-sets and isolation moves, I use my Powerblocks. For heavy compound movements, I use my Ironmasters. I care not for longer weight changes because when using the heavier weights, I'm resting quite a bit already. As pointed out, the Ironmasters are the heaviest and solid in this shootout, which is the most important to me. With all that said, the heavy handle kit for the Ironmasters is a complete game-changer!

One thing to note about the Kensui adaptabells/ adjustabells is the diameter of the handle for the Maxs. Would probably recommend the Maxs for pushing movements and pros for pulls. Less chance of the weights falling on you and importantly less chance of grip being the limiting factor!

I like fixed rubber coated hex dumbbells too, even though I also own adjustable dumbbells. Yet, I regularly use only three weights for dumbbells exercises: 20 lbs for side lateral and front raises, 45 lbs for presses, and 80 lbs for dumbbell bench presses, even though I own rubber coated hex dumbbells from 5 lbs to 100 lbs in 5 lb increments along with many other types of adjustable dumbbells, which are good for unbalanced weight training, which Arnold Schwarzenegger recommends to create a different kind of muscular overload for biceps curls.

I was comparing mainly the REP Quickdraw, REPins, and Ironmasters for mainly their reputed durability and ended up going with the Ironmasters. Max weight was a bit too low on the Quickdraws and they are also very bulky for their weight. The REPins are really nice but super expensive and were not included in their Black Friday sale. Also, sorta scared of knocking the pushpin and some people have reported it getting stuck. Given unlimited budget (but limited space so not a fixed set) I would probably get the REPins. Powerblocks were briefly considered but I don't like how asymmetrical they look at low weight compared to high weight, with their side rib design. Ironmasters have the best level of durability I've heard of and they also had a really good black friday sale of 20% + cart-based bundle discount. Besides their existing ecosystem, it also seem like they can more easily be jury rigged into other equipment. for example, I am already working out how to DIY a mace handle since their actual one was sold out by the time I ordered :( Overall, I picked Ironmaster because they had the most weight for the lowest price among the super-max durability adjustable options currently available. and because their main drawback of a slow change time isn't one of my main concerns.

For me it’s QuickDraw if your aren’t strong enough to care about the max weight, Rep x Peppin if you are decently strong or think you will be, the cheapest available on marketplace if you are broke and ironmaster if you are a monster and need to go above 125. Oh and a twist system like nuobell if you don’t actually lift.

I must say that the Kesui Adjutabellls are amazing! Better than the Pepin pro Handles. The price, length of handle, and portability make them great. I love the PowerBlocks and they have lasted for 4 years in a humid southern heat (no ac) garage....however I think they become too large after 60lbs and unwieldy...my wife hates them. I think the Rep X Peppin will be a good adjustable dumbbell due to the ease of use, quick change, and actually feeling like a dumbbell....also the length of the handle is PERFECT!

In my opinion the iron masters are still the best adjustable out there, there the closest to a fixed dumbbell, most compact, no play in them, no cage, no worries about dropping, lifetime warranty, heaviest. All the reviews about adjustable dumbbells is always about which ones are the fastest to change, in 99% of cases does it really matter, what’s the rush, am I the only person thats takes breaks in between sets😂. I can change both dumbbells from 20lbs to 130lbs in about a minute and still have time to rest. If it takes me 5 seconds to change them I still don’t start my next set any quicker. #nosupersets. Thats my 2 cents. Still a great review though.

I used to have a pair of BCG adjustable dumbells (usually seen at Academy/ Dick's) Highly recommend avoiding them. The mechanisms frequently get jammed, sometimes are difficult to set back down on the locking aparatus things, and mine actually broke within a week or so of having them. I finished a set and spent about 2 minutes trying to put them in just right so that they would fit into the locking slots. I came out the next day, went to adjust them, and the locking mechanism wouldn't lock some of the weights onto the bar. I adjusted so that all of the weight was off to inspect and found a couple of the locking pieces severely bent. No amount of attempting to bend them back into place would fix them. Maybe my experience is an isolated situation, but this experience has put me off adjustable dumbells for the time being

Thanks for doing this breakdown. It was very informative. 11:05 If you're going to do more videos like this, instead of giving them a small bonus to durability, maybe you could have a separate category for warranty? Then you could take into account the level of customer service a company provides. It would also let you differentiate between a product that's relatively fragile but has very fast replacements during the warranty (which has a downside of waiting for a replacement) and a highly durable item which may have slower replacement.

I also have a full set of fixed DBs so when I don't want to track down my Micro Gainz I'll use the Trulaps for the increments. If I only get 1 set (not 11 😂) I'd do just the Reppins. They check off the most boxes for me.

As a dad of two with some rudimentary home gym stuff, I’d be interested to hear how you get/stay in such good shape. Maybe a peek at your workout/life balance?

Just found another knockoff nuobell style dumbbell called Minibeast. They go up to 100 lbs though! Increments of 10 though...

Just ordered Trulap a few days ago, hoping not to have shipping nightmares other people have had.

My powerblocks are 16 years old and have been used and abused constantly. They have moved with more than a dozen times and work like the day I got them for $300 new.

Been using a set of original powerblocks (now classics) for near 20 years and I can’t imagine how they’re not considered bulletproof. I’ve dropped them, kicked them and emotionally abused them so many times I’ve lost count and they just won’t die. Considering that and now that I’m looking for a heavier set of adjustable dumbbells it’s difficult to consider some of these other brands that can be twice as much as the comparable powerblocks.

Repfitness is the choice, both their Reppin and Quickdraws.. they are just too good. Next to that is the Powerblocks. Reppins are definitely the best on the market, but people should not sleep on the Quickdraws, they are truly amazing and at a GREAT value. If it were to go higher in weight, it would simply be too big, but at the 30 kg (60 lb) they are about the same as the 32 kg Nuobell in size. I can't fathom why anyone would choose Ironmaster, the handle is too long and awkward, the switching of plates takes time and I have seen a couple of times where people posted that their Quicklock system failed. Then there is the dumbbells like Nuobell & Trulap... they are okay, but I personally hate the handles on them.. weak knurling and you can feel how it moves doing exercises because the handle isn't fixed since it needs to rotate to change weight. And the loadables... should not even be considered.

My Ironmasters have rusted at the handle-end plate junction. Customer service said not their problem! I guess it’s mine.

Man if Trulap could just make their dumbbell as durable as Snode while keeping the increments and maybe get it to 100lbs for the same price it'd be pretty incredible. For now, because I'm not a fan of the Reppins 4-point change and cage design, I'd say my ideal combo would be Trulaps for quick changing plus Kensui Adaptabells (or Iron Master or Eisenlinks) for really heavy lifts or ones where it may be more likely to be dropped.

Clearly I horde it 😂 My friends get a lot of it with the agreement that when I need it back they have to return it, and we sell some of it.

REP quick draw still needs a heavy handle upgrade option. Faith in REP supporting their ecosystems is at an alltime low. A 50lb handle you can use the same plates from your original on would be so easy.
