I purchased five pairs of the 1.25kg and one pair of the 15kg Vulcan Absolute Calibrated KG Steel Plates; received on July 15, 2020; and am very satisfied with their quality, as well as how they were packaged for shipping. Although I am not competitive weight lifter, I decided to purchase these calibrated plates; expensive though they are; to know the exact amount of weight I am lifting; at least for some exercises. I subsequently purchased other kg weight plates from Vulcan Strength and will very likely make further purchases. Based thus far on my experience, I recommend Vulcan Strength weight plates as top quality.
