I had this dumbbell handle for more than two years now and I used it for snatches, one hand deadlift, clean and press, bent press, rows, odd sleeve lifting etc. I love the 32mm thickness, feels better for pressing or grip strength than your standard 28mm. The knurling could have been sharper Besides the paint completely going away where the first weight plate sits it is in perfect condition (I only loaded it to 55kg because that is how many plates I have, but I can easily believe the 200kg claim) Buyer beware: this is the longest dumbbell available on the market, is very awkard for curls or a lot of two dumbbell exercises, I personally think this it was intended for one arm use only. read the specifications before hand!
