 Great item! November 26, 2008
Unlike some other reviews here, mine arrived the very next day, so no complaints there. The spin-lock bars do have a very rough grip surface, but when used with weights gloves this gives a great grip on the bars and I consider it a benefit. If you don't have gloves I'd recommend getting some for any serious free-weight training, and these as they are excellent value. The delivery case is a handy, tough, moulded storage box too.
 Good weights November 23, 2008
Have been using these weights for more than a decade - yes more than 10 years, still as good as when i first bought them. Spinlocks are great for adding or decreasiong weights very quickly. Good bit of knirling on the metal hand grips so that they don't slip our of your palms and i have no calusses.
Good weights, excellent value.

i dont think u'll find any better weights for the same price, i bought them probably 3 months ago, admittedly i dont use them as much as id like to but they are really well made and you do get alot for your money. highly recommended for people like me who arnt serious body builders lol. unlike the guy hu left the other comment didnt find the grips too uncomfortable but they are quite rough, enjoy! :)
Exactly what I was looking for! September 21, 2008

These weights are perfect for the non-pro. The spinlock collars are a good fit and have a rubber washer to stop the weights making a noise when in use. The case is heavy duty, but will only really be used when transporting the weights, i.e. not very often. The bars are very rough, so invest in a pair of weightlifting gloves, or a pair of woolen gloves.
The weights are quite small, too. Much smaller than York's sand-filled ones, so they are much easier to handle - you can do tricep exercises without hitting your back. Very handy.
As another reviewer has said, the weights come with a sheet of exercises and you do need a bench for some of them, but you can get away with lying on the floor on a few pillows if a bench is out of your price range (though Amazon do sell some for less than 50 now, for example: York DB4 Dumbell Bench).
Overall, I'm very happy with these weights, and will look into the 50Kg set soon... York 50kg Cast Iron in a Case with Wheels

Went for this as it is arround half the price of most of the other sets.
I purchased it Friday night and it arrived on Monday. So it looks like Amazon have fixed their problem sourcing the weights.
The metal bar is abrasive on bare hands (probably quite good if you use gloves though). However, this was quickly solved using a few layers of clingfilm as suggested by Raj B earlier on.
All in all. A good purchase!
