- Excellent piece of gym equipment

The Ironmaster weight set is very solid and easy to use.Rating
You can feel the build quality and I appreciate the ability to change weight by just adjusting one large metal pin.
I find the simple almost minimalist design very nice and elegant.
The space that I have saved is also a big plus point.
I would recommend this as a good balance between space and range of weights that you need. - Solid and good value for money

Initially, I was a little bit skeptical about the quality of the dumbbells, but after reading all the positive reviews I decided to give it a try as the price was very reasonable (compared to e.g. PowerBlock). Having used them for 1 week now, I am very satisfied with the product in terms of it's quality and ease adjusting the weights.Rating
The dumbbell handles feel solid, just like those in good commercial gyms, and the plates do not shake and move about too much during exercise. I still do tighten the screws between every set, but it's not really necessary. In terms of the ease of changing the weights, it's definitely not going to be as quick as the PowerBlock, so it's going to be tough if you are looking to do things like drop sets... however, for regular pyramid sets, it's not an issue.
Overall, it's very good value for money given the poundage and quality you are getting. - Get this 75lbs instead of 45lbs

Came into the website to order the IM super bench and decided to review my dumbbells again.Rating
Bought the IM dumbbells in August 2015 and till now they are still holding on well although there is a bit of rust at the side. I reckon it could be removed with chemicals but it is too little to bother me. I bought this 75lbs ones because the 45lbs ones were out of stock at that time. For those who are considering the 45lbs ones, i recommend going for the 75lbs set because they are only $100 more. Till now i have yet to use all the plates because i am still not a very strong guy but i think the 75lbs set are more valued for money. As you grow stronger, you can use them all one day. If not you can sell your additional plates to people who needs them.
I'm still happy with my dumbbells. Still stable and not shaky. Now i'm thinking if i should purchase the stand. Been using a mini wooden shelf as my "dumbbells stand" still. - Good for building functional strength
-
Delivery was really fast, some imperfections on the weight plates but I'm not too bothered because the functionality is not affected. Would also recommend the add-on kit if you are looking to go beyond building functional strength.Rating - Ironmaster 75lbs

I like the ironmaster a lot due to the following reasons:
1. Save space vs getting dozens of different Dumbbells
2. Cost saving. As weights get heavier, conventional Dumbbells cost increase exponentially.
3. Durable. Compared to other similar products, the ironmaster is the most hardy without the fanciful stuff.
4. Appealing. This pair of Dumbbells looks like an art piece in my gym.
5. Last but not least, I bought it at a discount. With the discounted price, it's the prominent winner among my other choices. - Decent Interchangeable Dumbell
-
Cons:Rating
- Does not come with a rubberized grip, so to avoid callus, gym gloves are needed.
- There might be gaps in between weight plates, would expect a higher tolerance and quality for the price
- One of the most, if not the most expensive interchangeable dumbell in the market.
Pros:
- Good small footprint, with no "edges".
- Sturdy, with not many moving parts.
- Most rugged "quick change" dumbell in the market today.
If you've got the cash, this is a good dumbell to have. Unfortunately, for thrice the price of a "regular dumbell", you would expect a better tolerance/ quality/ finish to it. Ironmaster's really cashing in on their patented design. :) - Good set of iron

Very good and sturdy. Can't complain about this one.Rating - Perfect for Casual to Mid Gym Users Looking to Save on Time / Visits to The Gym

(1) I'm not a bodybuilder.
Pros:
(1) Compact.
(2) Heavy Duty.
(3) Firm Handle Grip.
(4) Superb Locking Mechanism.
(5) Stylish.
Cons:
(1) The price. OMG. The price.
(2) Took me awhile to figure out how to change the weights quickly. After watching a youtube video, I realise you're supposed to align the v-shaped hole of the screw and the weight plates.
Overall, I had no regrets purchasing the IronMaster. Cancelled my expensive gym membership and now only visit the community clubs for leg days instead. - Excellent product. Not cheap though

Delivery was very fast. I placed my order on a Thurs evening and it was delivered on Sat, before noon.
The Dumbbells
The dumbbells are solid, compact and feels unbreakable especially when compared to other quick adjust dumbbells out there. Adding/Removing the plates is fast - about 30 seconds per dumbell for me. But compared to others such as bowflex, it does take longer and could possibly less convenient when exhausted because you will still need to physically move the plates around. The machined grip is also very good and the size is just right for me. I also appreciate its square shape as it means it will stay wherever I rest it. I also feel more at ease knowing I've purchased this from an authorised distributor.
"Cons"
- price. There are definitely much cheaper sets out there but not as compact and fast to change.
- the plates are not in round figures of kg (2.2kg and 1.1kg)
- the dumbbells came with some light scratches on the knobs. Doesnt bother me but perfectionists may be bothered.
- 75lbs per side is plenty for me to build functional strength but I imagine those into serious weight lifting will have to shell out more for the add on kit.
- Pros & Cons

Pros:Rating
-Feels solid & unbreakable.
-Compact size for its weight.
-Firm knurled grip.
Cons:
-Can't go beyond 75LBs without getting the extension add-on kit with the longer screws.
-Aligning the screws could be tricky some times, some fiddling is needed to make the locking mechanism work. Frustrating & time-wasting especially in a drop-set.
-This is a more of a personal preference but I wish these were made in round figures in kilograms instead of pounds.
Good purchase overall but the add-on kit is inevitable if you're a serious lifter. Prepare your wallets.
