“The slide lock plastic horse shoe is very flimsy. I can see that I will need to order a backup right away. The fit and finish of the blocks themselves is great. I would like you to send me the link to be able to purchase the slide locks”
Thank you for your review, Meade! We're glad to hear you appreciate the fit and finish of the blocks. We understand your concern about the slide lock, also known as a selector pin.
Our selector pins may feel flimsy but they are made of a specific blend of heavy duty materials designed specifically for your dumbbells. If you want to purchase a backup selector pin you can find it at the link below.

“I've been strength training at home for the past 12 years and have gotten serious results. I have previously used adjustable dumbbells that have been limited to 55 LBS. Needed a boost and decided to get the Pro 100. I'm really happy with my purchase. The grip is amazing, it helps me carry the largest weights with confidence, switching weights is so easy, and the construction quality is made to last. I'm very happy with my dummbells and definitely recommend them for people interested on serious weightlifting while saving space.”
“Have been using the Classic 45 powerblocks for many years now and recently upgraded to the PRO 100's. The improvement in the product is significant, especially if you have large hands. Much more space in the holding area is a noticable improvemen, as well as the urethane coating and knurled grips.
Very happy with this upgrade. Price was an issue at first, but after four months of use with the Pro100s, I am very happy with the purchase.”
“Although this is a phenomenal product, I cannot get past the cheap plastic retainer clips (which are REQUIRED for the product to actually work). Replacements are 'conveniently' offered on the website, however, they're sold out. They cut corners to make a quick buck on what would otherwise be a 5 star product. The product cost way too much for me to open up the box to plastic retainer clips.”
