Body-Solid Standard Black Iron Weight Plates

A 10 pound weight is a 10 pound weight. My problem is that the holes in the 2 plates I ordered were not the same. While both fit fine on my full length bar, only one of the two would fit my dumbell handles. Had both not fit I would have assumed the problem to be the DB handle, but one would fit and one would not leading me to the conclusion that the plates were not milled the same.

I started working out many years ago and have been in gyms quite a bit. These weights, while non-Olympic are of professional quality. This is the type of plate than any reputable gym would use for its non-Olympic sets. This is the type of plate that is used in many dumbbell sets. In fact I purchased a total of 16 of the 10Lb plates. I also purchased 4 of their 2 1/2 lb plates. (this order and a subsequent one I liked them so much I purchased more!) Now, I can set my dumbbells up to 85LBS each. I cannot praise this product enough!!!!!!!!!

I like these plates because they're narrow and have a drilled (or machined) 1" hole for the dumbbell handles. These weights are more expensive than the cheaper cast weights, but the cheaper cast weights have holes that are part of the casting, meaning that the holes are not always straight and "square" with the plate. This means that they don't always stack squarely on the dumbell handles. But these plates stack "square" and tight on the handles and don't rattle or shake loose during use.

Nothing mind blowing about these, just standard weight plates. The paint is not of an ultra high finish so I could see some chipping or flaking of the pain over time. However, I used them indoor on soft carpeting and have not experienced this issue yet.

These plates are perfect. They fit my standard bar perfectly. The weights are accurate. And the fact that they look so smooth and clean is also a plus. You really can't go wrong with these.

Nothing much to rate. The main criterion for me was whether the center hole would fit on my bar with flopping around. In that respect it works fine, a tad loose but not as bad as the item I bought in Walmart and returned. Next I will be ordering 25-lb plates.

As described. No defects.

Good standard plate.I am using it for added weight
