Trap Bar [Bells of Steel] Hex Bar Deadlift, Open-Ended Frame Trap Bars for Weight Lifting, Premium Gym Equipment for Home and Commercial, Built-in Deadlift Jack & Rotating Sleeves, 700lb Capacity

This is my first trap bar and really the first one I've used. With that in mind, I can't really imagine a better trap bar for my needs. I read a lot of reviews of various cheaper and more conventional trap bars and read a few horror stories of cheap and busted packaging, damaged bars, bars that came rusty, and even bars that were welded non symmetrically. That led me to buy a higher quality bar (this one) at a premium over cheaper options. And as expected, none of these issues were present with this bar. Even the packaging was very, very well done. The bar is amazing with no issues. The two features that set this bar apart (other than overall solid quality) were ones I wasn't sure I'd really love, but as an engineer I respected the design so decided to go for it and give this unique bar a try. I'm glad I did! The loading feature is extremely convenient and works very, very well even in my small and cramped home gym. And while I haven't yet taken advantage of the open design, it seems like it would be great for farmer's walks or lunges. And despite looking like the open design might cause structural integrity issues, the bar feels very, very solid. I've had around 400 lbs on it for deadlifts and it feels like it could take a lot more (even if I can't) without any issues of bending or flexing. Lastly, I love how it can sit up on its stands along a wall behind my squat rack to store extremely conveniently while not in use.

Very sturdy and perfect for my needs. I am not sure how it will perform at max weights, but I have no issues at 250 or less. The smaller footprint gives me lots of room for farmers carries in my home gym and I like dual handles for when I am doing dead lifts. I am very happy with this purchase.

One of the best product I've purchased. It is so much better than a convential trap bar

This trap bar is very sturdy and well-built—great for deadlifts and other strength training moves. The grips can be a little rough for some of my clients, but using gloves makes a big difference.

The entire bar appears to be made of solid bar stock. The welds are good and clean, bearings roll smooth, knurling is perfect. The quality and the price correlate very well. Very happy with this purchase.

Nicely built, easy to load. Opens up for other exercises

Great for home gym! Very easy to use and set up.

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

Once i started using the hex bar, i was very impressed. The bar is feels fully balanced even though it is an open trap bar. Thus far I have tried using it for deadlifts, trap raises, lunges, shoulder press, and tricep bench press. Everything felt very good. This bar will now be a great compliment to my regular olympic bar. I also love how the bar is easy to store on its side and weights load effortlessly due to the way it props up on a side angle.

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.

Outstanding trap bar! You can tell it is a quality piece of equipment. It was the only bar that had teh real swiveling bar ends. Not free by no means at $399 but, But IMHO worth the money… 😃

good bar to use helps with the knees

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.
