I have heard so much about these weights and have wanted a pair for so long. They do not disappoint. They allow me to quickly change weights, allow more weight without taking up too much space. They easily slide back into their space. I love them. Definitely worth the investment
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
If you are looking to add serious strength training to your workouts at home, this is the place to start. I've used the traditional aluminum dumbbells with plates and spin-lock collars (and variations of those) since I was a teenager. These always seemed like items for the rich, but when you take into consideration all the plate combinations you would have to buy it's tremendous value. Plus, the time you save from changing the weight after each set is invaluable. It's incredibly easy and fool proof. There's a solid click at each notch and it is labeled for the weight of the entire dumbbell, unlike some other brands that label for the weight of each end, resulting in having to do some quick fractional math to use. The spacing of the weight is also well thought out; increments of 2.5 pounds from 5 to 25, then by increments of 5 pounds the rest of the way up. My only wish would be that these dumbbells are more drop resistant and can be used as push-up bars to combo into certain super-sets. You also need to take your time re-inserting the dumbbells into the rack to make sure the plates line up. This can be slightly difficult after a harder set as your arms are shaking as your try to rack them. Other than this, I have been extremely satisfied with them and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is serious about adding quality strength-training equipment to their home gym.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, quality materials, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky, Need to take your time re-inserting into rack, Not drop resistant

You can't beat a set of 15 (29) different weights for this price, and I could never fit such a collection of individual weights in my house. I bought a set in 2008, and I thought it was such a lot of money. I finally wore it out, and needed to replace it. I didn't think twice, it is totally worth it. I sometimes use the full weight of the set. Maybe someday I'll finally get strong enough I'll need to think about how to get a little heavier, but this may be all I need for another ten years. #sweepstakes
