These bargain hex bars in the past have been sent out in various configurations, some with shorter end sleeves. I have just received mine and can confirm it looks just like in the picture, It has 15.5 inch sleeves and plenty of knurling on all the handles (if its too rough just use gloves no biggie).
Very happy with this item, for the price, its almost criminal for a specialty bar. As long as you dont go crazy with weights it will last just fine. This is a bargain barbell, its not designed for competitive powerlifters. Also you can do so many different things with it beyond the squat/deadlift, versatility. Also remember with this bar you can do deadlifts that are 5 times safer than with a regular barbell, great option for beginners and those who have back problems, can be a great rehabilitation tool.
I got this last time it came around. It was a great buy. Only complaint is the threading is a little aggressive. Held 465 nicely no bend.

Can you measure the distance between these two marks on your bar? I'm curious how feasible it is to rack on a cage when storing. Thanks

Technically this bar is not rackable - just under 38 inches between those marks, but you can always rack it on the sleeves if you have hooks big enough, there are ways to work around that. The bar is 6 feet long.

Thank you for the measurement. I use the Yes4All J-hooks which have almost 3 inches of resting space, so I think this will be rackable on the sleeves for storage purposes

I believe the problem with shorter sleevs, different versions, etc. plagued this earlier -- I ordered mine last December and got what I expected (i.e., this version).

To be more precise >38 inches is the distance where the main black bar connects to the sleeves. 39.5 inches is the distance between those marks in your picture I think, where normally weight plates rest on the big ring wall on the sleeves, minimum sleeve racking distance.

Anyone know the width of the widest part of the interior of the open hexagon where you would be when using this for deadlifts?

The space between handles is 24 inches, , this is unique open design bar, during exercises you can use the opening in the front or in the back , works great for lunges and split squats
When using elevated platform to stand on, you can do the deepest squats imaginable while being completely vertical and stable the whole time.

Mine just came in, everything looked almost perfect besides the sleeve had a small bent. Smh. I will most likely return it, little imperfections drive me nuts.

At first I really loved the bar, but now a few months later I regret selling my old clunky one for this one, because the sleeves have already cracked on both sides and it's only a matter of time before the metal will completely shatter and the bar will be rendered useless.
- 600Lb~ is too much for it

You ordered a $50 bar so you could put 600 lbs on it? At that point you should be investing in a higher quality specialty bar. lol.

Yea this bar is more for 500 lbs and under. I think 600 lbs will eventually break it. I was also considering the northland giant open trap bar but that one is 600 lb compacity so I passed. Just looked at the giant one again and looks like jack compacity is 600 lbs and functional compacity is 800 lbs. That is more than enough.
