Very nice, good choice!

Thank you. Our entire garage is made for team workouts aged 2 and up 😀👍

Yes they are super nice. And yes, that would be a game changer 💪

You can use Platemate weights, that's what I do with my Nuobells (Unbranded)

@@VTF82 very cool. Will have to check them out. Thank you 👊

yup, once they add the 5s and maybe even go higher game over. It will be Snode vs Pepin.

Thank you 👊 yes, these are very nice. Snode said they are working on doing the 5 lbs increments next and still have them drop-resistant 👍💪

Imagine thinking these are the best ones when Pepin’s exist! 😂

Thank you 🙏 👊

The only time you feel a tad bit is when it’s all on there so 80 lbs. but it’s nothing bad at all. The other weight increments you don’t feel that locking tip/part at all

👍👌💪

Yes they seem very sturdy. The changing ring seems well build and I have had no problems with either set. Snode kept this set with the higher more solid 10 lbs increment plates because they wanted it drop test approved; so they prefer them being a tank rather than flimsy. I hope this helps!

Could you use plate mate to increase weight ?

@@DavidTran-hf3hn I think the clip-ones will take up too much room as the handles are not long enough. The magnetic weights works great on them though.

Agreed…they did they say are working on lowering the increments and keeping the sturdiness, but need to develop a little longer👍

Thanks man 👊 yes they are both good options. You have done your research 👍 I’ve tried both and I like the Snode better. If you can get over the 10lb increments, then Snode are the best. They feel like an actual dumbbell. I also love the old school feel of cast iron but with a straight knurled handle 👌 after using power blocks for a while, I didn’t like the square shape for non-linear movements like curls and lateral raises etc. It just felt off balance and the adder weights put all the extra weight at the bottom of the dumbbell…but I’m weird with my equipment so it could just be me 🤣 But they are rock solid! Anyway, either choice is a good one 💪

@@DanesinTexas Thanks a lot for the response! The Snodes are absolutely gorgeous, but what is also attracting me to the PowerBlocks is the 90 lb capacity along with the attachment potential. For instance, the barbell attachment for the Pros gives you a weight potential of about 200 lbs. Perhaps I'm giving too much credit to the PowerBlock attachments. I'm sure the 80 lbs on the Snodes would be great enough for me, but the PowerBlock attachment variety is very tempting. There is also a private seller online who makes knurled metal handles for PowerBlocks if needed. This is going to be one of the toughest decisions I've had to make because these two options are so great. But man those Snodes are beautiful. Also I just figured out a hack for the Snodes! You can just buy 2.5 lb. Magnetic Donut shaped weight plates, stick them to each side of the dumbbells and you have your 5 lb increments! So your Snodes can actually go up to 85 lbs! Man this really is a tough decision lol. Both Snode and PowerBlock have extended their sale, so I only have a few more days to make a decision.

@@Dial_J_for_Josh Yea tough decision but both good choices 💪👍 I’ll definitely try those 2.5 magnetic weights, I’ll upload a video once I get them 👍 thanks for the tip👊

@@DanesinTexas Sounds great! Looking forward to it!

@@DanesinTexas Hi, hope all is well and hope I'm not too much of a bother. Given the build quality of these as well as the supposed improved quality of these 80's I decided to take your advice and proceed with purchasing the Snode 80's instead of the PowerBlocks. However, now a new problem presented itself. Right when I was going to make the Snode 80's purchase, in the craziest timing ever, I just received an email that the Ironmasters came back in stock and can confirm that they are in stock on their site! What decision do you think I should make between the Ironmasters and the Snodes? The site says they received a lot of inventory, but they will likely sell out within a week. Thanks in advance.

There is extremely little sag with 80lbs, but I did see another person who got them and they were sagging a lot….I think that was a rare incident though but worth checking out. The rattling is so little that even with all the weight it’s not a big deal. They rattle a lot less than the others I’ve tried (core, bow, pwr blocks etc). I hope this helps.

@@DanesinTexas thanks buddy

Yea, we liked that they reached out to small channel , and actually changed some things from our first review. They tried to make them heavier but the way they build them it wouldn’t be as sturdy and drop resistant, so they kept it at 80lbs. But overall very solid DBs. I was born and raised in Denmark and came to the US to attend college, hence the Danes (got 4 kids now 😵‍💫😵‍💫😆😆). Not too much of an accent since I’ve been here a while, but we also get thrown a ton of languages at us in school back home. When you are from a tiny country you have no choice but to adapt 🇺🇸🇩🇰👍 thanks for watching and commenting.

Yea they have their own version here www.snodesport.com/products/adjustable-dumbbell-iron-flexbell-stand but you can put these anywhere really, the cradle is so heavy they don’t move much…but yes, would be awesome to have the Snode stand👌👌👌

Good feedback 👌👍

They come with magnets for 50$ of 1.25 increments

Only if you are rough with reracking them. You do have to be more careful with these compared to Nuo or Pwr Blocks. They have coating/plastic to protect.

Hey. Vi tar den på dansk 👍 jeg har ikke set 80’erne med rødt, så ved ikke helt om de er de gamle eller nye. Jeg har haft begge udgaver og 80 havde bedre knurling og tykkere håndtag, har lige målt mine 80’er og de er præcis 11cm i omkreds. Jeg ved ikke om det hjælper men værd at checke. Ellers send et link til forhandleren så kan jeg se om der er noget anderledes end mine her. Men ja, jeg er stadig glad for dem selvom jeg ikke bruger dem så meget da jeg har normale håndvægte også. Men hellere ha for meget end for lidt jo 😎 hvad koster de i DK?

@@DanesinTexas Hej, jeg har forsøgt at svare flere gange, men noget går galt desværre

@@kampmeroden gik igennem denne gang 🇩🇰👍🥳

Yes very little plastic on these. They wanted them drop-test approved so they made them very sturdy. Also another reason they did the 10lb increments, so the plates are solid when dropped👍

Yea definitely agree. Now the inner telescope bar is metal with plastic cover…I wouldn’t want to hear metal on metal screeching, but yea depending on how well it is made, it probably would wear some or more with time. I tried the magnetic 2.5 plates and they work really well, I did a vid on them where you can see them, and yes, they should include those for sure👍

@@DanesinTexas Thanks for clarifying about the inner telescope bar. I am looking into buy them actually. Snode has mentioned they are looking into maybe selling PlateMate-like add-ons with their dumbbells. But who knows when.

@@dammitjim9131 they need to include them, would be a nice add-on for their customers at no extra charge…but yea, let’s see if and when that happens👍

@@DanesinTexas I got my 2x Snode 80lbs dumbbells the other day. And 4 magnetic Platemates 2.5lbs each. If they last, they will be the last dumbbells I ever buy. Love them - they look, and feel awesome!!

Could you give me your opinion on the situation I have with my Snodes 80lbs? The telescoping bar doesn't go out evenly on one of the dumbbells. At 80lbs, one end is 5/16 inches into the last plates, while the other end is 3/16 inches into the last plates. ie. regardless of the weight used, one end is 2/16 inches less into the plate. The other dumbbells, on either side is 5/16 inches into the 80lbs plate on both sides so that seems normal. Do you think this is a concern? I know that plates have little play, but 3/16 into the last plate seem like the minimum and, imo, the minimum is not safe.

It’s better but still can’t do most presses….painful clip when I dropped the weights 🤣🤣 I can function with everyday stuff so that’s what matters, still sucks that I cant bench after two years 👎

@@DanesinTexas Good to hear you are making progress though.

@@DanesinTexas Keep doing what you are doing. You are a beacon of hope for others who have undergone the same injury. We need more people like you to show that even after these injuries you can still keep going.

@@gaiseric9518 🙏 thank you friend

It’s metal pipe/rod with plastic around it.

@@DanesinTexas thanks

Its ok, slowly getting better but also still problems. No dumbbell presses of really any kind, but can to lateral raises at least and get the shoulders a good burn that way. Thanks for asking 👊

I have a grade 5 ac separation + torn ligarments in front shoulder , pec muscle , biceps ,triceps. Had a car crash 1.5yrs ago. Some recomended surgery some didnt.I have daily pains , but i am able to lift heavy and train pretty hard , but the pain on the bench press and everything i have to push pretty much is alot 😀. I was recomended weaver dunn ac joint repair but your videos about the surgery made me back off.

@@enemyone5991 great you can still train…and good decision 👊 only get surgery if somehow you can’t train at all and it’s the last option 👍

I have not personally tried the nuobell but have heard great things about them. Look wise the Snode appear to be the same as nuobelll but the design is different since you don’t turn handle and it’s made of mostly cast-iron/steel vs a lot of plastic on nuobell. I think the Snodes adjustable DBs are the closest feel to an actual dumbbell.

@@DanesinTexas what is the warranty?

@@dwhit2612 1 year

it’s common to have your product being knocked off by the same over seas factory if you have your product being made over seas . Nuobell fault for not having it made in its own country

Similar looking but different way of changing the weights, different materials, different weight increments.

It wouldn’t be 2 dumbbells, it’s the equivalent of 20 dumbbells

I saw your video and that seems very excessive on yours….mine doesn’t do much, a tad bit but not noticeable, nothing close to yours. I would write them and ask👍 Thanks for the info.

Hey man. Sry for late reply. They actually feel really good doing that exercises. Your palm kind of wraps around the metal part from handle to the weights, works great 👍

@@DanesinTexas Thank you Sir . Happy new year ! 🙏🇺🇸👍🙂🥂

@@MrSixxshooter Happy New Year 👌🙌👍
