After seeing the fancy prices local suppliers want for collars, I bought these off eBay for $10 / pair.
This seems like an area where prices are wildly different depending on brand and store.
Spring collars apparently lose their grip after a while, and screw collars mar the barbell sleeve...

I have a couple of speciality bars (axle and logs) that just don't fit Olympic size lockjaw, OSO or spring collars. I am after some speciality collars that fit bar diameters of 48mm to 49mm. I have tried screw collars but I just don't seem to be able to do them up tight enough to stop the...

Once upon a time my gym buddy quit going to the gym. So I was a lone wolf. I stumbled into the Cheap and purple gym near my old work like a lost sheep. Reluctantly, after my warm up I decided to do weights because no one should be a cardio bunny. I knew their needed to be a balance.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations? I've got cheap rubber ones that leave black crap all over my hands and my barbell sleeves when I slide them on and off. These seem to be the best I can find http://aussiestrength.com.au/strength-equipment/weight-plates/rubber-coated-weight-plates.html
