Ironmaster has everything on their site 10% off. For example, the quick lock 75lb set is down to $782 with free shipping. What's even better is that you can also stack with Police/Fire/Military discounts for an additional 10% off. This brings the dumbbell set down to $703 shipped. This is a good deal considering they rarely have sales.

I went with powerblocks since they were cheaper and were actually in stock, but if I were to do it again, I'd strongly consider these. I think you'd have a hard time getting these to break in any way. The screw mechanism is so strong, and best of all, you can treat these like actual dumbbells. Can't do that with anything else out there (plastic parts, awkward sizes, etc).

I've had them almost a year without any problems so far. I have never dropped them though, so that would most likely cause problems.
People saying ironmasters are a pain to change leave me wondering how you change them. I toss them on the stand with the notch up. Unscrew both ends, slap on the side plates at the same time, screw both ends at the same time. Takes like half a minute to change out both dumbbells. The only time I can imagine it taking too long is if you're hell bent on doing drop sets or super sets. Even so, those seconds shouldn't make or break your training session.
Bowflex is annoying because the handles suck, and they are HUGE. Really long. Can't move them around the same as regular dumbbells. Need to baby them.
Powerblocks worked well but the flimsy little plastic support made it annoying to line up. It is the quickest change of them all but really awkward. Try doing goblet squats or overhead lat extensions. You can't support the dumbbell by the side like you can with ironmasters. Additionally you can ONLY put them down one way. Imagine heavy presses and you just wanna drop em, that's a no go for the powerblocks. If they're upside down, ur farked. On ironmasters you literally don't have to worry about that.
Nuobells look good, but I've never tried. I know people have reservations of whether they can be dropped. I drop my ironmasters regularly like one foot up? Doing rows or bench stuff when I'm done I just flop em down.
So yeah, thats my rant. If money is no object, I highly recommend ironmasters. If money is tight then powerblocks is the best option. Nuobells are good if you want heavier weights but realize that ironmastera can hit 90lb with the heavy handles. Hope this helps.
they jacked up the price by 50% and then post a 10% discount . . . that does not make it an SD
Good quality and even better customer service.
