Trap Bar Bells of Steel - Open Hex Deadlift with Rotating Jack, 700 lb

I’ve been using the Bells of Steel trap bar for about 6 months now. It arrived well-packaged and the build quality is excellent. The bar looks great and feels solid and well-made in use. The built-in jack is a great feature and makes loading and unloading plates much easier. Initially, I thought the handles were a bit on the thinner side, but that was just an early impression—I quickly adapted, and it hasn’t been an issue at all in training. One small thing to note: the bar can tip to one side when loading a single 45 lb plate on one end. It’s easy to manage by just gently pushing down on the unloaded side while loading, so it’s not a real problem, but something worth being aware of. Overall, it’s been a great piece of equipment and I’m very happy with the purchase.

Excellent quality build- sturdy and heavy (47 lbs). Adding plates is a breeze with the unique design; just pivot the bar on the rubber vertical handles (to the floor) to load and then pivot back to neutral position. Although 700 lbs listed as the max weight, practically speaking it seems to hold three 45 lbs plates comfortably (with a lock) on each side; wish the weight loading bar was longer.

Great product! Really very happy with this purchase. Covers all the bases I needed it to. Similar fit and feel to the army aft deadlift equipment, so great training aid for aft improvement! Knurling on the handles which provides great grip, just enough and with thin plates you can stack up the weight. It feels very sturdy; I felt zero sloppiness in the bar. Glad o made the purchase and wholly recommend.

These cost, but they're commercial grade as far as I can tell. The heft, solidity of construction, and outstanding workmanship are out-of-this-world. I have no regrets about promising my first-born to get this thing. A woman might be able to get a decent work out with this bar for quite a while using it unloaded. There's nothing to complain about here other than possibly the price, but, like a pre-1990s Mercedes diesel sedan/wagon, you're getting absolutely everything you paid for. I love this bar and will never in a million years hit its limits. As a matter of fact, this bar almost makes leg work fun. Almost. But, I mean, let's just face it, leg work is boring. And it always will be. There's just no way to get a good hard burn going really fast & easy (like good women?) in your lower body like you can in your upper body, nor to sustain it. Mountain bike or something like that for fun leg stuff.

Excellent quality, extremely solid feel, perfect level of knurling, a pleasure to load when it is resting on its loading feet. Absolutely the best piece of weight-training equipment I have ever purchased. Highly recommend!

I'm no longer the young collegiate athlete that could throw a heavily weighted bar on his back with no consequences. This bar allows for a number of exercises to keep my legs, as well as other muscles, challenged. This is a well built, highly functional piece of equipment. Well balanced and no noise from the smoothly moving parts. It can hold far more weight than I'll ever put on it. Nice that there are two grip positions. There are similar cheaper bars, but this is a good value for the quality and functionality. Was well supported in a reinforced thick cardboard packaging.

Woweee!!!! I am pleasantly surprised! Let's start with the packaging: It's packaged with meticulous care and concern! Is a Rolls Royce inside? Nothing is spared to keep the Hexbar safe without bumps and bruises. It's even seated with real wood stabilizers to keep my Hexbar from moving. Now the product: This baby is well made and HEAVY! I'm 65 and am not ready to add weights yet. It's BEAUTIFUL to look at and adore when not in use. Keep in mind this thing is heavy and comes in a heavy cardboard box. I had to unbox my Hexbar at the door and carry up. Too big and heavy for most folks. I'm 6 feet 240 pds. Hernias don't interest me...lol. I got this for dead lifts because if done right the bar will keep me from slipping and falling. I'm 65! You younger folks will be challenged. Just add your Olympic plates and sweat! Be creative. Do arm curls, deadlifts, rows, shrugs, overhead lifts. The list goes on! Use the stable Hexbar for pushups, pullups from the carpet floor or do even leg stretches with the bar as your foundation. Forget about cheap "sunshine" hexbars that can only handle 400 pds. This bar cost more and I don't regret it! 5 stars!!!!!!!

Amazing. Good for pushing through strength plateaus and actually fixed a lower back injury I had for months somehow. Thanks a million!

I like it! Only thing is the welds seem kind of not great. I didn't realize it was made in China

This Trap Bar is a great addition to the home gym. Well engineered and constructed. Good ergonomics with regard to the open portion of the design . Well balanced and solid!

Picking up heavy weights and putting them down again has never been easier than with the Bells of Steel Hex Bar. It's simplicity is matched only by it's sturdiness. Make no mistake, this thing is solid. And you will be too, with repeated use. The hex bar is delivered in one piece, in a cardboard box. Pity the delivery man. I had it loaded up within minutes. Managed to fit 6 standard Invanko plates on each side, for a total of 585 lbs (including the bar), though I'll note this leaves no room for collars. You could load it up heavier if you had thinner plates. Knurling is just right, finish looks good, feels good in the hands. It's a great hex bar. From a Canadian company. Get it.

Arrived with box mangled, but bar unharmed. Good solid bar, nicely finished rotating collars, nicely balanced. might have to invest in loading jack though, piling on the weights when it is on the floor is a pain....Overall good bar.

good bar to use helps with the knees
