Amazon.com Product Description
Focus on your bicep, tricep, chest, or back muscles while working out at home with this Weider 40-pound chrome dumbbell set. Unlike traditional fixed-weight dumbbells, these bars are weight adjustable, so you can add any combination of 3- and 5-pound plates depending on the exercises (the set comes with four 3-pound plates and four 5-pound plates). In the 20-pound configuration, the weights are ideal for bicep and tricep work or for chest flies. Keep things lighter and the weights are great for toning work. Best of all, it's a breeze to add or subtract weight thanks to the EZ Spin-Lock collars that come with the dumbbells. Made of chromed solid steel and boasting knurled handles for a secure grip, the dumbbell set is ideal for people who don't want to clutter their workout space with several individual dumbbells.

Customer Reviews

satisfactory but not great
These are a Christmas gift so I may have to update this review after the holidays! All in all the set seems pretty nice. Quite disappointed in the handling, though. The outer box was all torn up on one corner and the plastic case that the weights are in is cracked on that corner. The case is also filthy as though it's been left sitting out in the open in the warehouse. It had clearly been opened, probably returned, as the original shipping label was cut and taped over. I'm going on the assumption that the condition of the case isn't that important to my husband, so long as the weights, themselves, are of good quality which, to my ignorant eye(!), they seem to be. That's the reason I'm giving it 4 stars.

Weight amount is deceiving, but a good solid set
This set is 40 pounds including the bars. You get 4 x 5 lbs and 4 x 3 lbs for 32 lbs, and each bar is 4 lbs. A little confusing considering some weight sets describe the plates only. If this is OK by you, I'd recommend the product because it is a very solid set.

shipping problem
The item is exactly what my husband wanted and he is extremely happy with it. The only problem that occurred was the packing used for shipping. The weights are heavy and contained in a plastic storage container that was not protected in any way and arrived completely shattered. Luckilly, none of the weights or bars were damaged in any way. Although heavy, a little more thought would have prevented this and a note on the package would have alerted the shipping agency as well.
