Fantastic power bar! I only use this for bench and really like the aggressive knurling. It is not overly sharp but let's you know it is there. I have an OPB in cerakote and thought it was way too passive for my taste. Sleeves spin like a power bar and their texture reduces noise when loading the bar. Fit and finish is great, no damage when shipped and no play in either sleeve. If I didn't use a squat bar I'm not sure id like the center knurl for low bar but I didn't buy it to squat with. Overall very impressed and wished I had looked at Vulcan bars sooner. My OPB is now my beater and is for landline only...
