Snode Cast Iron Stand

So far these dumbbells have exceeded my expectations. Easy to change weights and so far seem durable enough to set down hard .

This stand is as solid as any stand can be.

Great pairing with the 80 lb dumbbells - easy setup and makes it easier to switch weights during a workout. Very sturdy as expected.

Awesome product , very well built and the selectable dumbbells are smooth when selecting what weight you want, knurlbon handle is just enough for your grip without digging into your palms. Cast iron rack is a sturdy mister. Absolutely recommend this to any home gym or any gym .

I purchased my AD80 and S-Stand at the beginning of February and shipping and delivery went smooth. Packages arrived within a day of each other in great shape. I was concerned at first that the AD80’s had been reengineered to allow greater tolerance for the purpose of smoother racking at the expense of a loose feel during movement (clanking together). There were several reviews indicating that the AD80’s were solid feeling so I was holding my breath. I can say that yes there is play in the dumbbell, however it doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. The feel of the AD80 is great, the handle size (L & W) and knurl are awesome and feel great in hand. The weight dial mechanism is great and works flawlessly. When I preform movements that don’t require the additional 5# magnets, the process is so quick and smooth. Though I have to be honest, the magnets are tedious, it’s a chore that kills time between sets and a process I find myself trying to avoid especially at the higher weight adjustments when I would rather just carry the weight to the rack and be done. The magnets require the weight to go the the floor first…if the change weights could go interior that would be best and alleviate this hassle (or even better, make a system with 5# increments). I have found that I avoid ending my set on a 5# increment for this reason, whereas I’d like to not have to alter my workout to accommodate a limitation in the design of my equipment.

Finally, the warranty…the 360 32” drop guarantee/warranty is something that factored into my purchase. The 2 year time frame for warranty is great too (why not just make it 5yr or lifetime?) Be confident and stand by your product, especially if you want the feeling to be mutual with your customers! The correspondence I received with my AD80 made no mention of the drop clause and states only a one year warranty on parts and craftsmanship. This was a direct contradiction with what your website has indicated. I would like some confirmation from SNODE that they will hold true to the two years and perhaps even get it in writing, since the only document I have says differently!

Barring those issues, I’ve used my AD80’s now for several weeks and I am happy with them. I may look to move away from the magnets so racking is made less of a hassle.

Furthermore, the S-Stand is great! Good product that works well. I bought casters instead of using the feet provided and it has made it mobile. The casters weren’t cheap, but the are really nice and adjustable. No issues there, the engineering team got that right!
