14" Regular Dumbbell Handles | Multiple Options

I purchased the threaded pair of these CAP Barbell handles as an extra addition to my home gym. I already have a full setup, but I only had one pair of bars, and I was constantly removing and swapping weight plates between exercises. I wanted something practical so I could keep another set ready to go without constantly adjusting weights and these were exactly what I needed. They’re compact and don’t take up much space at all, which is ideal even if you already have multiple pieces of equipment. The 14-inch size is just right: easy to handle, comfortable, and very functional. The threading is smooth but secure, making plate changes quick and simple. They feel solid, well-made, and nicely finished. I genuinely love them and I’m already considering ordering another pair for even more versatility in my workouts. If you’re looking for a practical and well-built addition to your weight set, these are a great choice.

I have 3 sets of these dumbbell handles and am happy with them. They weigh about 3lb. each and are solid. I've used them with a variety of plates, including fractional plates, and all fit perfectly. I've found some of the spin lock handles to not fit my fractional plates, so I'm happy that these fit all the plates I've tried. I use Ironmind Bulldog II collars (with 2 set screws) for the heavier loads, as those collars really bite into the dumbbell, but I've also purchased some 1 1/16" collars with a set screw here on Amazon and they work great too. The latter are about $20-$25 for a set of 4 collars and are a great option compared to the small spring clip collars that tend to slip. I am definitely happy with these dumbbell handles and I've also found that thick grip handles (many available here on Amazon) fit these too, enabling me to make a 2" or even 3" diameter handle. Overall, I would recommend these dumbbell handles to anyone looking for some solid handles at a good price point.

These look and feel great, much nicer than my older CAP handles. The collars thread very smoothly on and off making it easy to change plates. They weight exactly 3.5 lbs as stated the product page. The only issue so far is a little of the black paint has flaked off.

Overall, these are quality bars and i would recommend them with the following caveats: 1. The loadable sections are kind of short. I upgraded to these from the cheap type that come with the threaded collars and a set of plates (5, 2.5, and 1.25 lb plates). I can only get about 35 lbs on each dumbbell (3x 5lb and a 2.5lb plate). If I try to get 4x 5 lb plates on each side the collars don't fully sit on the bar. If these were 16" instead of 14" i would probably be good for the amount of weight i could lift given i am a bit older and likely not going to attain monster status again :-) I might need to buy some 10lb plates with 1" centers but that kind of defeats the purpose of buying these bars instead of buying 2" ones and using the Olympic-size plates I have for barbell and other exercises. I may yet go with the 2" dumbbell bars given the next challenge... 2. I haven't found good collars that work with these yet. That is NOT CAP's fault; I measured the loadable part of the bar and it is 1.00" so dead on. Just crappy 3rd-party collars. But if you can't find those to go with these bars it makes these less usable. Still working on this... 3. The knurling is kinda smooth. I know some people like that better than the kind that is a bit sharper, but i like the security of the more aggressive knurling. I would call this a pro OR a con, depending on your preference. On another note, I saw some people complain about these being hollow. Mine are solid and very sturdy - quite happy with that! Guessing they got cheap copies and not real CAP ones. All-in-all I would recommend if not for the collar challenge

good buy

Decent. The rubber gasket falls apart but it works for the price

Before rating this I had to ask myself “does this do what you bought it for?” and I have to answer yes with a huge “but” attached. These hold 1” plate weights and are good for all dumb bell exercises. Exchanging the weights does take some time as you must unscrew the collar, remove the weight, and replace it with another weight which takes more than the minute that I allot for rest in-between sets. And it what happens during that change that I want to bring up as a negative. The model that I have is painted black. That paint flakes off like the fur on my German Shepard but unlike Rover’s fur, this stuff is sharp. I have received more than a half dozen splinters from the paint coming off in my hands while changing weights. Once the paint comes off they are a nice shade of silver/chrome/whatever and they continue to work. For the price I paid for them, they work well. They weigh a mere 3+ pounds each and it it easy to swap plates, just a little time consuming. But please- if you get this set, maybe start in a paint removal process the moment you begin to see paint flaking off of them. You can see the paint missing from the end of the dumbbell in the attached photo and the semicircles of paint lying in the ground.

solid and don't unlock themselves

Hasta ahorita muy buenos, cumplen muy bien su función

Apauling product. Sharp pieces splinter off whilst holding rendering this absolutely useless and not fit for purpose. Do not recommend. Don't buy unless you plan on spending your time picking metal splinters out of your hands. Not happy at all.

Excelente compra quede muy satisfecho con este par de mancuernas a un súper precio, cada una pesa 1.5kg tienen pequeños detalles en la pintura pero nada grave.Sin duda los volvería a comprar.

💯💯

Awesome because I can fit 2 thick sand weights in there. These are a great deal! I love twist locks; better than red plastic stuff that I can pull out with my hands. Wear gloves or maybe file it down?
