May 14, 2015
Excellent dumbbell. Grips is perfect for my hands (glove size mens large for comparision.) My wife has no problems using them and her hands are smaller. The rubber is high quality, not greasy or overly slick. (Note: I really like rubber coated dumbbells, since you don't get paint or rust particles in your face/eyes when you accidently hit them together when doing declined/flat bench routines...) The only reason these did not get 5 stars is that they were each about a quarter pound light (weighed in at 7.75 lb). Not really noticeable, but I expected a bit better from the Body Solid brand (but I suspect these are all made by the same vendor and then branded). Also, the weight markings on these are very small and hard to read. (I have found that if you take a white paint marker, you can easily highlight the number. It makes it much easier to quickly ID your weights.) Overall, nice DBs.

Just a bit underweight...
July 2, 2015
I ordered the 8 lb. dumbells (which today I do not even see listed anymore), and when I weighed them, each one was only slightly over 7.5 lbs. Also, the black rubber was very oily, and the oil was also on the handles making them slippery. I had to totally clean them before I could even use them. Besides that, the black from the rubber also left black marks on light colored mats and white carpeting. Just not high quality at all. Would not recommend.

These dumbbells are great. Very quality products with a comfortable grip. I now have sets of the 10, 15, and 20# weights, and will certainly be buying more from Body Solid.
No clue why so many people feel the need to comment that the dumbbells smells. Yes, its rubber coated... and it smells like rubber. The smell dissipates the day after unboxing, and has nothing to do with the quality of the product. 5 stars.

So far these are nice dumbbells. Yes, they do smell awful at first - but I wiped them off and they're fine. These are much nicer than the ones I was going to buy at Modells or Sports Authority. The weight numbers are embossed on both sides - but they are much smaller numbers than the competitors'. These chrome handles are the most comfortable that I have tried (glad I didn't buy the PVC handled units). Best deal with Amazon Prime (no shipping). The 35 lb units that I also bought were not packaged as well and sustained impact damage to the rubber shell.
Perfect , except high price. Rubber, after a few days does not smell. Awesome construction with rubber ends.

of safety with its awesome construction and rubber ends.

Perfect in every way, including the lack of bad (toxic?) odors associated with many of the other brands.

Expensive but the quality is obviously much nicer than the CAP 55s I bought prior. The rubber smell like most things is there at first but dissipates within a few weeks in a well ventilated space. I find the handles to be great and will definitely but this brand again.

I love the hex dumbbells. They have a great hand grip and look even better. This purchase was to add to my other hex dumbbells I have purchased earlier. Highly recommend this type of dumbbell.

This weight is what the description says it is, 75 lb. rubber coated single dumbbell. Keep in mind that this is only one weight, not a set of one. The rubber coating makes them more durable on hard floors, which I typically lift on. Grip is good, no complaints.
