The product is great and the handles are an amazing feature If I had to give two negatives it would be 1) the white Vulcan name on the sides has some inconsistencies in the paint - this is barely noticeable and should not effect the decision to buy. 2) I’m unsure if when opening the box I cut into one of the dumbbells or not (I noticed a cut only later). Contacted Vulcan and the response was basically yea it probably got cut when you opened it and the dumbbell won’t be effected. Not ideal when spending a large amount of money and the product potentially gets injured while opening. Obviously I would have been way more careful if there be some type of warning to NOT use a box cutter? Maybe a second layer to protect the DB?
