• Ease of use: Changing weights is quick and easy, making them suitable for drop sets.
• Durability: The dumbbells are durable, even with regular use, provided they are not thrown or dropped.
• Cons: The dumbbells are bulky and clunky, the handles are not ideal, and the maximum weight is limited to 52.5 pounds.
