The bar and kettlebell are sturdier than I was expecting especially with plastic clamps on the bar and the kettlebell being fully plastic. It takes some getting used to when tightening and loosening the clamps around a dumbbell, I have Rep Fitness QuickDraws which are larger than standard dumbbells especially at smaller weights where the ads for these products are only ever small standard dumbbells, but they work just fine other than that minor downside.
