Here’s the advantage of having relatively inexpensive handles available independent the proprietary weights: once you buy all your stack of standard iron, you can slowly buy more handles for supersets and drop sets. Not a bad option.

Lots of criticism in the comments regarding Pepins price, remember one guy is making these out of a shop not much larger than a two car garage. You'll receive poor quality plates from baadass and I believe iron masters are made overseas, Pepins are priced fairly considering current market conditions and manufacturing process. Love the vids Coop, consider getting a pair of digital calipers to compare handle diameters, plate thickness, and even the guage of racks for those amazon specials.

I don't mind the price that much but the fact that I never received my order is the problem

I love these dumbells, I dont have one but I find the design and dimensions smart and better than any other adjustables on the market. Planning to buy a set. Good review Coop. 👍

I've owned them for 9 months to a year, really have only ever used them from 95lbs to 120lbs, so maybe 2 or 3 times a day, 5 days a week. For the price they are the best. I like them but obviously like any other DB like these, the time it takes to change the weight is annoying, but it's the best/cheapest option if you need this kind of weight. I have dropped them pretty hard with over 100lbs and absolutely nothing happened other than them loosening up a tiny bit.

The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me kzread.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.

Is no one else going to address the fact that Coop just handled 100 lb like it was a piece of candy! Dude you are strong

I still use a spin lock ez curl bar , tricep bar , and trap bar/suitcase lift bar. I have 2 of each so I don't have to change weights in the middle of a workout. Dumbbells are old school hex shaped 5lbs to 150lbs. I also still have a homemade squat and bench press rack I built in the early 80's. All this fancy shit wasn't around 40 years ago when I started lifting. And it all still does the job just fine.

I love my Pepin dumbbells. The machining on these are top notch and they're extremely easy to change weights. I purchased York standard plates for my set.

I love mine, glad you finally released a video and super happy you dropped them. They're solid.

I lightly dropped the first design of pepins when benching at a bit of an angle ( about 85 lbs) and they bent a bit. I’m generally pretty mindful of dropping weights but have not had any issues after about 2-3 months with the improved design

Unlike you, I haven't had good luck with my PowerBlocks. After one tipped off the bench on to the floor, it was bent. It took an hour back and forth on the vice trying to bend it back into position so the plates did not bind. After that I ordered fixed dumbbells, 4 mos later they are being delivered Saturday.

Although not marketed for it, Ironmaster handles actually do well with standard plates too! Cheaper way of getting your IM handles to 100+ lbs without paying for the kits.

At $300 for just the handles that's barely cheaper than the these though. All these adjustable dumbbells are a ripoff for what they are.

I think the complaint about not being as useful for drop sets or super sets is blown out of proportion. I would guess that not *a ton* of people even do these in their training. With normal spin-locks I've never found myself wishing I could swap weights quickly. What I'm using for the day is what I'm using for the day.

Pepin: Hey, Coop. We'll give you some sample products to review, if you promise not to drop them. Coop: ... So yes to drop test? Pepin:. NO!!! TAKE CARE OF YOUR GEAR AND YOUR GEAR WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!! Coop: ... Please? Can I just drop it just a little? Pepin: ... fuck, sure, whatever.

The hits keep coming Coop, thanks!!

I just got the Gungir 25mm dumbells, after watching the review on this channel. Durable, (or so I hope) easy to load and unload and they look good. They are also a safer option than anything that requires a retighten after a while.

Great innovation. It'd be nice to have a spin lock dumbbell without the risk of digging yourself in the leg with the end of the bar when you rise out of a set of dumbbell bench presses.

A design like this that you could bring into a gym and use olympic plates with but goes up to heavier weight capacities (200+) would be very useful

Old Ironmaster DBs were actually like this (spinlock). They even licensed thier old design to hoist back in the day. On reddit I saw some guy use Titan fitness chrome plates with these peppin handles. It looked super sweet.

I prefer this style myself. As for super setting I would pair it with a curl bar or straight bar movement. I don't do a lot of "run the rack" sort of working out, and that would be the only hindrance for someone in my opinion. At my age I tend to move up in weight per set in increments anyway so I'm changing weight or at the very least putting things away and getting the next weight or equipment set up in between sets. I think the price on these is actually pretty affordable, considering I just paid 75.00 for a set of 35 DB's from Wal-Mart. I'm thinking I might just order a set of these!!!

I have my pair for 2 months now and I'm very happy with it, they feel super stong, the grip feel very good as well, I put rubber ring in the screw for even better fit and when you play with them they don't even rattle even at 125 pounds (with the handle). They are not for supersets but they will not break on you and they won't break your wallet.

Love the fact that pepin dumbell are made in my Canadian province. The idea of the inside screw is brilliant. I feel the badass company just surfed on someone else idea and and just tweeked the design. M2c

The old design spin locks are a great inexpensive option for people looking to do dumbbell work 85lbs and below . Also I was thinking since they’re so cheap, you could buy a second set of regular spin locks and do super sets that way.

Great review. Having used spinlock dumbbells, using these would actually be a major downgrade. The amount of time and effort it took to switch weights for the spinlocks were one of the main reason why I've switched to Powerblocks. With spinlocks, I would rack and unrack them like you would doing deadlifts with a barbell - leave the dumbbells down on its side, unlock both collars at once, unrack and rerack the plates on one end, and then do the same for the other end. With these, it looks like I have to tip them onto one side while balancing the other end, unlock one collar and make sure that the plates don't slide or move at all, stack/unstack while balancing the plates, lock them in, and then do it again for the other end. Even with 85lbs, you're stacking and balancing four plates on top of each other. The setup just sounds like a major, major pain in the ass. One thing that's nice is that the ends are flat, and doesn't have the handle rod jutting out, so it's much easier to kick them up. But other than that, they sound awful to use. I looked on their site, and they are $700 USD for the 190lb set and $200 for just the handles + collars. Even if you got the weights separately for about $250 or so, you're still much better off going with Powerblocks or something with an easier mechanic, even if they don't go up heavier. The only reason I could see buying these is if you're going to only use them for heavy sets above 90 and replace the increments up to 120bs and have another set of adjustable dumbbells for everything else. Going through a full workout with 5 different exercises plus warmups seem like an absolute nightmare with these.

@5:39 you could argue coop that you actually start at 1.6lbs if you buy these from just using the handle without the end caps. 😀

It would be great if they made a pair of wrenches so you can tighten them better & loosen them afterwards. I would make them similar to a armourer's wrench, it would also help people disabled people use them.

These seem like a great pairing with a 5-80 pound set of nuobells. You can leave these loaded with ~85# and adjust up as needed for your primary movement and use the nuobells for drop sets. Great review!

This is my plan

Old school design from 30 years ago. Had something similar back in hs days. Yes, they loosen up and constantly have to tighten

Nice to see some Canadian made stuff. Would love to see some Gorila fitness stuff reviewed. I have their adjustable bench and the Silverback rack. Both are really nicely made.

That is Great!!!! I made simple adjustible dumbells with threaded rod. A piece of steel pipe as handles. Using one inch hole weights. I get dumbells weighing up to 160lbs (72kg). Sealed with nuts. Works great!!! Not as nice looking as your dumbells, but really badass, hardcore ones !!!

I have these, they were exactly what I was looking for. I have a lot of old York one inch hole plates from 25’s all the way down to 1 1/4 plates and yes the twenty fives work ok on these.

One thing these kinds of dumbbells help with (versus the old school spin dumbbells) is when lifting heavy. Resting heavy DBs on your damn legs, when the metal end sticks out, is a bitch. These make it so that you can still use your old school 1-inch diameter plates and rest them on your legs. I also like that if you have to swap out your plates, you can just buy some standard 1-inch plates to replace yours when needed.

I’ve made a similar design with 1” UNC threaded rod, nuts, and 1” stainless pipe.

A downgrade to Baadass is that they aren’t as cosmetically pleasing as Pepins and I do wish they did a polyurethane powder coating.. I’d pay the extra money for that. But they definitely are durable, and gets the job done. Changing weight does suck but I knew that going in.

Pretty? No. Heavy duty and guaranteed against breakage? Yes. Steve is the man.

How secure is the locking mechanism? That's my main concern when using spinlock dumbbells, particularly for overhead movements.

I like that you can buy just the handle so you could have 2 or 3 sets of hands and set up your weights for your super set or drop set before you start.

Setting up these adjustable dumbbell is my cardio session.

My cap dumbbells I can take past 100, super cheaply. The 25lb plates don’t interfere with my range of motion at all. They wobble and loosen a bit after sets, but you just turn the plate clockwise against the set bolt and they’re snug as can be!

Mine will be there tomorrow! Bought them after one of your story!

I'm not yet convinced about the durability of some of the plastic engineered designs (other than Power Blocks which have stood the test of time so far). I try not to drop the Iron Masters as well but given some of the torture tests they've been through I don't worry as much.

These look great! I’m ok with a little extra time to switch weights and the option to only buy the handle is great!

You should look at reviewing the Core Fittness adjustable dumbbells. They are a pretty good "budget" option as far as adjustable dumbbells go. I have been enjoying them so far. Only go up to 50lbs. though.

Good review. You forgot the size of plates . Dimension of plates please?

I got them. No complaints.

Seems like someone should just mill a normal width handle from a solid chunk of stainless and include three different screw lengths with the max weight etched on the end for easy reference. Sure, they would be expensive, but they should be as strong as hex dumbbells then and adjustable. Once normal returns you should be able to pick up 1" hole plates for $20for all you can carry. Better yet, make it so you can use the 2" plates everyone already has.

I use the bowflex dial your poundage dumbells rather than my Weider dubmbells with the collars that I bought in the 70’s. It’s real fast changing the lbs.

What do you do with all those adjustable dumbbells you have? Do you send them back to the companies or do you keep them? If so would you consider selling some of those?

I keep them so I can continue reviewing, comparing, and contrasting all of the options.

Why don't they just make the end caps the same size as their plates? It's flat and long enough to probably not be annoying but just seems a bit odd

I'm guessing because it would be harder to tighten

Is there any kind of safety protocol or rule of thumb those dumbbells provide if you are using so many plates that The rod has a hard time screwing in place very far? How much into the threading should it be able to go to feel safe, considering that the less room you have to screw in, the more weight is on the dumbbell. I can imagine a precarious set up like that disconnecting mid-lift and possibly seriously hurting someone.

This is especially relevant when you consider that they can use any brand of plate; meaning different plate thickness.

Would you please post links for the equipment you use in the description of the video? That'll make finding it online MUCH easer. Especially with some companies whose names are harder to understand or spell.

i bought loadable dumbbells, they were cheap and can hold alot of weight but when im goin to like 80+ pounds for rows, i have to use 25lb plates that reduce the rom so something like this would alleviate that, its also mire secure than loadable dumbbells
