What we liked
- +5–52.5 lb each, dial-adjust
- +Massive space saver
- +Secure plate locking
What could be better
- –Bulky footprint per dumbbell
- –Plastic feels less premium
A turn of the dial swaps from 5 to 52.5 lb per hand, the plates lock securely, and they free up a huge amount of space. The plastic casing is the only nitpick.
