This is a good quality bar that you would find in commercial gyms and the collars, that were missing with my order, can be had for a few dollars anywhere. Just buy OLYMPIC size collars, all Olympic size collars will fit, and you are good to go. I gave the bar 3 stars only because of the missing collars.The collars are worthless but I didn''t need them going into the purchase. I use spring clip collars. The bar is very well made and of good quality. About 18 lbs. However, it is not as shown. There are only the outer bends. The center ones are not there, just straight. So therefore, there are only a bend above center as depicted in the photo, but no bends below center that are closest to the center of the bar. I kept the bar anyway thinking I''d use it but it has since fallen from favor and I went back to using the other bar which was of lower quality and lighter weight (about 14 lbs.) with one side larger than the other that had to be turned down on a lathe to get the Olympic plates to slide on. But my lower quality bar has all the bends in it, which I was hoping to have replaced with this supposed higher quality bar. Too bad...

The bar itself appears of good quality. However it was mailed with 2 collars that cannot lock or clip to the bar itself. Therefore the weights will fall off the bar (possibly on to your foot) After calling customer service 3 weeks ago I was promised that I''d receive a new set of collars within 5 days. I am still waiting.Read Best Reviews of Champion E-Z Curl Bar With Collars Here
I''ve used many different e-z curl bars in the past and this one feels perfect in my hands. It''s got the right grip and doesn''t feel awkward as some I''ve used. The construction is sturdy and my only complaint would be the cheesy clamps it comes with but that was easy to resolve by buying a different type of locking clamp.You don''t always get what you pay for (like they say). I purchased this item at a higher rate thinking that it would be exactly as advertised. Unfortunately, this bar is missing the inner bends which would provide for a more natural hand grip. It only has the outer bends. It''s not worth spending the extra money just get a cheaper model which will be the same. Construction is sturdy, feels balanced, and will work, for 3 stars. Could have saved 25 USD for the same product. Thanks for nothing Champion.
