This hex bar has four advantages over similar price ranged hex bars.
1) It has a built-in jack stand, which from my experience is incredibly helpful.
2)
The loadable sleeves are 17". An old hex bar I got was only loadable for 9.5". If you're a strong lifter, that extra length means more plates.
3) The sleeves APPEAR to be spinning, not fixed/welded.
4) It's rackable which many are not long enough to use in a power rack.
This is by no means a high quality hex bar. I'm sure the knurling sucks, so lifting straps or hooks could be used for high weight. You can read comments that this bar is assembled already, which can be a blessing or a cursing depending on how it comes shipped. But for cheap home gyms, this works.

Knurling while painted on has not been bad. I'm not planning on putting any ridiculous weight it can't handle on a trap bar anyways, so it's been a great addition for the cost.
It works great for Farmer's Walk. Which is primarily what I am using it for now.
Only downside I have with it is that it does take up a lot of space. Very large footprint.
