KeppiFitness Barbell Clamps, 2-Inch Aluminum Barbell Clips with Magnetic Storage, Fast Locking & Removal - OPENCOLLAR (Black)

I waited a while to leave a review (about 6 months). I wanted to see how they held up. I mean they're just collars. That's all I really needed. They cost a bit more than the normal ones but I wanted to give them a try. They turned out to be so much more than I expected. Some of the features I thought were just novelties but I ended up loving them. They're well designed. It's great how they just slip on (don't have to slide them). I didn't realize how helpful that was. The magnets are also a great feature I didn't expect (storage on the rack)! They're super easy to snap tight on and off. They seem to hold weight as well as the best. Honestly, I don't lift that heavy but I think it would hold a lot more than the cheap plastic collars. Also, they don't weight a lot, I think they add about half pound each - surprising for durable they've turned out to be.

Great performance for low price. I love the open collar style, but didn't want to spend hundreds. This fit the bill. I've been using them four times a week for months and the only downside I can think of is that they can be tough to release if you use both locks, but that's not an issue since they work amazingly with only one side locked.

Works great, makes drop sets a breeze wish i had these years earlier.

Super easy to use. Fast on and off. Good quality.

Works good..the magnet could be better, but it does work.

Look no further, these are all you need.

The features you get, at this price, are unbeatable. With 6 other pairs of collars and a substantial amount of "overbuilt" home gym equipment, these are my favorite and go-to collars.Pros:- Magnetic, stay on rack wherever you need and facilitate ease in working sets and swapping weights. Yes I know we're working out to stay active, but as a home gym enthusiast, big fan of QOL (quality of life improvements) that make me enjoy and focus more energy on actual lifts.- Fit both standard olympic and axle collars. Now this is actually huge.... at first thought they were incredibly tight on standard olympic bar. You can get both sides of clip down for a real tight fight, but now just use one side and the hold is absolutely strong enough for my SBD sets, though would double clip it for oly lifts. Where it shines is my axle or speciality bar, that typically have a slightly smaller OD (outer diameter), you can use both sides of the clip adjustment to get a secure grip. Said plainly, where I previously needed 2 sets of collars for diff OD sleeves on bars, i now just need this one- The net weight is 1.25lb, which i dont add as a i track my lifts, but nice to just have that nominal incremental weight on them all (maybe if going for a PR ill count the 1.25)- Price, going to be real honest, these rip the design right off the Eleiko Oppen collars. I have no problem with it, most of even the largest and most "notably Made in US" manufactures these days having limited innovation and ripping off other designs anywhere (for example all the Rogue fans out there.... Rogue literally stole MM UDA design for their velicidor, and the squat max design to build the rhino and had to go through legal and M&A to make it right...)Cons- a stronger magnet would have been nice.... sometimes after a heavy set and being winded, if i take the collars off and slap them on the uprights, they might slide an inch or so because i only got them partially on (2 magnets inside, so i got only 1 on the upright). This is a petty thing, especially for a collar that is 25% the cost of its closest functional competitor, but also a pretty easy fix.If these are up, and if there is a coupon on them (like when i bought for $10 off or something), dont think twice. Huge QOL (quality of life) upgrade for my gym, and easily a good first collar purchase so i wouldnt have ended up with 6 others (included multiple rogue, giant lifting, and titan collars)

Clamps work great, keeps the weight on and haven’t had any issues. When swapping plates these have a magnet and stick to the rack. Makes placing them on the rack convenient and removing them are very easy. Would buy again.
