Can anyone recommend a brand of iron hex dumbbells that won't chip?
I don't know if they are all made in the same Chinese factory but all the hex dumbbells I see for sale look identical, as if they come from the same place. And all the old hex dumbbells I see are chipped like crazy. I'd like a find a brand of metal hex dumbbells that aren't subject to chipping or peeling. Is there such a thing?

Instead of hexagon maybe go for dodecagon and get some Iron Grips maybe, those are pretty damn nice.

Those look nice. I'd actually prefer rubber dumbbells, I'm only considering iron because I like to use Platemates and as far as I know, there is nothing like that for rubber dumbbells. Or maybe there is and I just don't know about it? I actually started a different thread about that topic.
If there was something like Platemates for rubber dumbbells I would probably go with rubber.
I know I can use wrist weights but I don't love that idea, I've tried.

There are wrist weights for dumbbells, but they seem like too much bother.
Also check out Vulcan's new Pro Hex. More compact than normal hex with lifetime warranty.

Guys, thanks for the suggestions but I am specifically asking about iron dumbbells - not rubber or coated dumbbells. I was asking about iron hex dumbbells that won't chip or flake.
Those progressive weights look interesting. That could work but I don't know how much of a hassle they are to put on and take off. Looks like it might be just as cumbersome as using wrist weights. Plus their website states they don't work with most hex dumbbells so if I got rubber hex this still might not be a solution.
