There are a lot of problems with this. 1) The spring OD is not wide enough, so it gets jammed in the threads of the nut when trying to adjust. 2) The adjustment mechanism of replacing the inner rubber contact piece means it may only work on one of your bars at a time. 3) The threads on the bolt are very fine and hard to restart if you undo them too far (especially against the unnecessarily high spring pressure). This is exacerbated by the fact that the captured nut is set parallel to the flange instead of perpendicular to the bolt.The only positive aspect of these is that they are pretty narrow and save ~7/16" compared to my other set. But if they don't function in the first place, what's the point?

These are my second least favorite of the plastic and hybrid styles of clamps (those with a single interlocking plastic hinge being my very least). There is no hinge on these on these, rather they rely on the minimal elasticity of the plastic to allow the collar to spring open after being levered shut.Justified or not, I don’t have much confidence in these and do not count on them alone for use with the very heavy dumbbells I use for “farmer’s” walks. They are made up from the traditional end threaded rod handles, two 25 pound plates on each end, held in place with the usual internally threaded screw on metal clamps. All is tight and secure until the metal clamps loosen from weeks of use. Easy to fix, but a hassle that is now eliminated by adding these plastic clamps to prevent the loosening.
