Features:
The nameplate poundage of pro style dumbbells is "nominal", not actual.  It includes the weight of the plates ONLY,   and does NOT include the weight of the dumbbell handle itself.  Therefore pro style dumbbells ALWAYS weigh more then their nameplate poundage.  For example, a 10 lb pro style dumbbell actually weighs about 12.5 lbs, because the handle itself weighs about 2.5 lbs, and the plates weigh 10 lbs.  As the dumbbells get larger, the handles themselves weigh more.
Chrome plated straight Knurled Handles - machined from one solid piece of steel.  These are NOT the cheaper 3-piece handles with pressed-on inner collars.  Pressed-on collars will migrate inward over time due to the impact created as the dumbbell makes contact with the floor when dropped or slammed, etc...  Our handles, being machined from one piece of solid steel,  will never have this problem since there are no  separate parts.  The diameter of the grip area of the handle is a little over 1"
Each of our pro style handles have 5/8" diameter bolts that hold the plates on - NOT 1/2" diameter which can break and/or bend much easier.  Also, our bolts are true grade 8 Allen flat head bolts,  rated at more than 150,000 PSI tensile strength. It will take a lot to damage them.  Plates are retained by a chrome washer with a countersunk bore so that the Allen bolts will fit flush with retaining washers.
Plates are solid cast iron and painted Gray.  The outer plates are NOT numbered for the nameplate poundage of the dumbbell.  You may stencil the numbers on using a stencil kit.  Or, you can get stick-on number decal sets at the office supply store.  Another old school method is to write the poundage using a white paint marker from the office supply. We do not ship them numbered because there are too many ways to do it, and the chances that our way matches up with the numbering method used on your existing dumbbells is nil.
Plates are machined on both sides for flatness and to maintain a consistent thickness.  The plates are typically referred to as "standard", or "regular" due to the 1.030" - 1.062" inside diameter holes to fit all 1" diameter bars.  We do NOT offer cheaper rough plate castings because they will not lay flat against other plates on the dumbbell and therefore will have a tendency to rattle while in use - a permanent annoyance.
All dumbbell(s) will ship to you un-assembled.  The Allen wrench required to tighten the end bolts is NOT supplied but the wrench is a common size found in most hardware stores (The Allen wrench size may vary according to dumbbell size).  We recommend a small patch of blue Loctite thread locking compound (not included) on the threads of the end bolts to help prevent loosening.
Your purchase also includes good service:
Shipping is included with the price of each dumbbell. For most dumbbells, they will ship to you in 2 (or more) separate packages.  In many cases the plates will arrive via USPS and the handle(s) may arrive via UPS in a separate package, it all depends on the circumstances.  Only the small dumbbells will ship in a single package.
We do NOT drop ship our pro style dumbbells like some other sellers.  All items on are in stock, in our warehouse which provides us the opportunity to inspect each component before shipping.  The packaging is done in-house, and great care is taken to help insure that the packages will arrive to you without shipping damage.  That means we reinforce the bottom of the boxes the plates ship in and TRIPLE tape the outside of  the box to help prevent the box from busting open during shipment.  Each weight plate is individually shrink wrapped to form a protective barrier between other plates in the box to prevent damage.  We've been doing this a long time and know how to properly ship this type of product.
In many cases, we have seen "drop shippers"  simply throw the plates and handles into a box and slap a label on - no protective shrink wrap (expensive) , no triple taping the box, or adding much supportive packaging materials, so the handles and plates get beat up by the time you open the box.  At our shop, we spend the necessary time to properly package these dumbbell components.  As a result, we run into a damaged merchandise claim maybe once in every 250 packages shipped. The triple taping on the outside of the box helps prevent the seams from splitting wide open when handled by irresponsible carrier personnel. You may receive a box with slight handling damage on the outside, but rarely bad enough to lose (or damage) the merchandise while in transit.  Of course, there are no safe guards against an over zealous package handler bend on destruction,  luckily they are few and far between.
At this time, we are not offering "sets" of dumbbells, or multiple dumbbells in a single discounted listing, to be shipped via common carrier truck.  However, you are free to purchase as many listings for individual or pairs of dumbbells to make up your own set as needed in your application.  As always, shipping is free.
