Does Not Fit All "Standard" Bars Nov 20, 2007
By MoneyMan
I have two different "standard-size" barbell bars: the spin lock, and a bar bought as part of a set from Modells several years ago. These collars fit the spin lock barbell and dumbbell bars beautifully and prevent the weights from moving to any large degree (but they've been tested at 100lbs. limit). However the collars are way too large for the other "Modell's" barbell set bar.
I don't dispute that these collars are standard-size collars, but I've discovered that not all bars are standard-size bars. Buyers should be mindful of that before they make their purchase, and measure their bar's diameter to make sure it's 1" thick before purchasing the collars. If the bar is, these collars are fantastic for the price.

Measure your bar diameter first Dec 11, 2008
By jaynarator

I thought I had what was considered a standard spin lock dumbell bar. It is about 1" diameter, but slightly less. The spring collar is exactly 1", so it is too loose. If you are ordering this item, I recommend getting an exact measurement of your bar diameter first.
Now I want to order new 1" bars so I can use spring collars, but it is difficult to tell which bars on Amazon these would fit exactly.

Fits most bars Feb 09, 2009
By Mark
"frustrated bookkeeper"
"Fits all standard bars" can too easily lead you to believe they fit all 1" bars.
Well, no. Of 8 bars we own, these fit about 4. The spin nuts interchange on all 8 bars, the only way to tell the bars apart is try these collars and find out which ones they fit.
Difference not apparent to the naked eye - all our bars are called 1" bars - your mileage may vary.
A list of what bars do and don't work would be nice.
That said, they're cheap and durable - try your luck if you dare.

 Crap Jan 17, 2011
By Memo
These didn't even fit my standard bar. It's exactly 1 inch and I could barely get the springs on. I recommend not buying these

Do Not Purchase -- They Don't Fit "Standard" Weight Bars Dec 25, 2009
By Kevin Sullivan
I have a standard "standard" bar weight set that I bought at a high-end sports/weights retailer. These clips are *way* too loose to hold the weights on the "standard" bar that the weight set uses. They just slide on and off the bar without gripping *at all*. Total waste of money. They're not worth sending back, and they're not worth anything here, so in the trash they go. I should have listened to the earlier reviewer who gave the same warning. Let's send a message to the vendor: Simply refuse to buy this item. The clips that I just bought for $[...] at the local [...] store work just fine.
