Clout Fitness Quick Release Pair of Locking 2" Olympic Size Barbell Clamp Collar Great for Pro Training

This pair of Clout Fitness Pro quick-release Olympic clamps seems decently made and has been working very well for me. The clamp bodies are made from thick ABS plastic and held together with metal pins. The locking lever and release button are also made from ABS. The two large internal rubber pads are what grip and hold the clamps to the Olympic collars on the barbell or dumbbell. I really like these Clout quick-release clamps and prefer them to the spring clamps and locking training collars I used for years. They fit perfectly on the 50mm [2"] diameter Olympic ends on my barbell, tricep bar, hex bar and EZ-curl bar with no slipping during use. So far I haven’t had any issues with the Clout clamps coming loose on any of my bars. I liked them so much that I bought three more pairs to use on all of my bars.

I bought a pair of the Heavy Duty PRO version back in April 2019 and I liked them a lot. I have since purchased another barbell so I wanted another pair. I went to my previous order to order another set of collars. Unknowing to me, instead of sending me to a page for an item is is no longer available it redirected me to this much more inferior product (at a higher price point too!). I ordered the item and did not realize the mistake until I opened the packaging. These feel like a cheap knockoff version of the ones I originally ordered but somehow cost a couple bucks more. I feel like I was tricked into buying a poor quality item but I guess that is all Clout sells now. I will not buy from this brand again.

I dont think you can beat these for the price. They are high quality, just as good as ones I have used in big name gyms. They feel nice and durable, they are simple to lock and they give a click once they are fully locked which I like. They have thick rubber grips on the inside to help hold them in place and not move, I took the setup I have in the picture and stood it straight up and the plate didn't budge so it's a strong hold. You can lock and unlock them easily with one hand like they say, and I would also say I think they look cool. Definitely happy with these and would buy again

I got these for a friend the owns a gym as when I help set up bar, I HATE those darn grip clamps.These are super light, well made, easy to open and shut- STAY CLOSED and are the best investment a gym or home fitness person could use.My gym friend really is pleased as there is no calculation for squeeze clamp weights(didn’t even know those darn things added any weigh!). Do yourself a favor if you use an Olympic bar and get yourself a set- guaranteed won’t be disappointed.This was another great recommendation from Buzzfeed!

I used these for my first time back at Olympic lifting this past Tuesday. I opted for the bright green so I would not leave them. I wasn’t sure how to operate them at first. Do I push down on the latch or just lift, but after a few seconds figured out that I just lift and then push down until the click sound to lock.I will say that the fit the gym bar perfect and held the weight just fine. I should mention that I was not working with a lot of weight. I’ve been out of lifting for almost two years so I only worked with a 205 snatch and a 285 lbs clean and jerk. Also, my gym won’t allow dropping weights so I can’t tell you how they work if dropping from overhead. I did fail on a clean and dropped the weight after catching it in the “hole” about 4 feet and these didn’t budge, so that’s something I guess.Anyway these look great and feel sturdy, so far they’re a great purchase.

**UPDATE**Clout reached out to ensure I did not recieve knock offs. They also discussed options as they have other collars. Appreciate the effort Clout. Adding a star for great customer relations.***They’re okay. Not great. They slip when being dropped with heavy weight. Also pretty sure I got knock offs as mine have no distinguishing branding on them and didn’t come with the carry pouch.

I was looking for some inexpensive clamps to use in my boot camp and cross training classes. These popped up during my search and decided to read up on them.They received really good reviews, so I bought a pair.The quality was better than expected; just as good as high end brands. They feel durable, and lock tight. They have thick rubber grips which prevent slippage.I recommend this for anyone looking for a quality barbell clamp. I plan on buying more and in different colors.

After searching a lot of products and reading reviews, I purchased these for our high school powerlifting team. They arrived quickly. I was a bit hesitant since they are plastic, that is not an issue at all. These are really well made, and have a firm click to lock them onto the bar.Within the first week we had a 250# squat fail and the bar dipped deeply to one side. We caught the lifter and the bar, which was at a -60 degree angle. The clamps held without slipping!
