Pro tip, if you have an extra set of spring clips you can put them on the inside and it should give you enough space for your knuckles to clear the plates

Other pro tip, I usually throw a 5 and 10 or two 10s on the inside and invert the heavy plates out. This also gives my knucks enough clearance.

From the reviews:
- Design flaw: very little gap between plates & grip handles. Tight fit to get a grip, and then your knuckles may rub against the plates.
- The sleeves are a tad too large, and your plates may not fit. Several recent reviews post that bumper plates with tight tolerances do not fit on the bar.
- Some had poor weld quality and the bar actually broke off at the weld points under weight
- Some had poor material and the bar bent under weight

Basically, for about $65 this is a hit or miss. If you get a good one where welds are good, all your plates fit properly, and don't mind working around the design flaw - then you may like it.

I bought one recently and it has a spacer. I read this is new and fixes it. No issues here with use

Could you please post a picture of the spacer, showing the gap between the plates and the grip handle? I am interested in the bar, and would probably buy it if the spacer works.

All of the problems in the bad reviews have been fixed, but there is one problem, it's too wide. It doesn't bother me personally but it might be a problem for some.

I bought this a few months ago and it works for what it is. I prefer using this for squats. Deadlifts are kinda awkward. I don't have any of the issues mentioned earlier

Walmart has it for the same price.

Fuel Performance is under CAP.

People see 4.6 star from 4500+ reviews and then find the top negative review and then proceed to claim "it's like a lottery" and "it's a hit or a miss". Such negative Nellys everywhere.
4.6 stars out 5 statistically means 23 out of 25 purchases did not have any complaints.

Well, you kinda have to read to make sure it fits your needs rather than relying on scores alone, otherwise you'll just waste time returning and repackaging.

Like someone mentioning it won't fit some Rogue plates. Lol that's pretty important. Then you have some people saying the problems got fixed with the new version.

So unless you're able to pick v1 or v2, it sorta is like the lottery lol.

A product not fitting your need doesn't make it a bad product though does it? It just means it isn't for you. Whereas negative reviews means there's something wrong with the product rendering it unusable or useless. I didn't say people shouldn't figure out first if the product suits their needs or not. In fact, what I said was that a lot of people highlight negative reviews, which are few and far between, and paint a bad picture for the product which it clearly isn't when you look at the average of ALL the reviews and not just a handful bad ones.
