Gender:  |  Olympic bar collars Hi, I need to get some sort of olympic bar collars. I was thinking of getting a pair of 'Troy Olympic Spring Clamp Collars with Rubber Grips'. Does anyone recommend these or know of something better? I want something that's easy and quick to take on and off but holds the plates together. http://www.ironcompany.com/index.asp...OD&ProdID=1205 Thanks. Riley |

Gender:  | There are some plastic ones at my gym that tighten with the twist of a small lever. Very cool and easy to use. I haven't ever used them though, so maybe someone else has some input. I don't know if they work well or not. |

Gender:  | The ones that you linked to are the ones at the gym I go to. They work good and are quick to get on and off. The set screw ones suck. IronWorker |

Gender: | Those lock jaws are probably pretty cool. There are some other similar ones on the market as well. I'd be cautious about something so engineered though. A basic old fashioned spring clip lasts a long time. I would think those other types would be not be as long lasting. But they may hold better. I tend to keep the bar level though, lol  |
