    Powerblock knurled handles

    Who makes the best and best value knurled handles for Powerblocks? I have a 9 year old set of U-90s that I'm looking to upgrade. Couldn't find anything via search. I see options from the following. Anyone know of a coupon code for any of these sites? Yes, I realize I may have missed some BF codes.

    1. $210 - https://jdgymequipped.com/products/P...les-p350370952
    2. $190 - https://baresteelequipment.com/produ...41894569410721

    I have the JD Gym Equipped ones. After I placed the order, somewhere (possibly on these forums) I learned that supposedly the guy running that company stole the designs from someone else and basically screwed them out of their share of the sales. I never verified that but it seemed like there was a lot of people who said that happened. Maybe it was reddit? Anyway, the handles are good and were easy to install. The knurling is solid as well. That being said, wish I didn't order from him based on the probable back story.

    If any of these are like the Pro Knurled handles that came with my commercial pro set, then I'll pass. I found myself on these forums searching for a replacement for the steel knurled handles that came with my set a year or two back. But if anyone can tell me with confidence that any of these have an aggressive knurl I'd send an order asap. It's sucks to find yourself using athlete tape for grip on a set of dumbbells after paying commercial price tag for the steel knurled handles.

    The JD gym equipped appear to offer a "deeper" knurl choice.

    Ya I dunno man, I've been burned once so I'd have to be able to try them I think. Unless I was guaranteed I could return for refund if I don't like em then I might go for it.

    I just seen duplicitous previous post on Average Joe's knurled handles, they look real nice and appear to be cheaper than Bare Steel's version. I dig that they're stainless steel and offer the 30mm grip diameter, I might just go with them for my PB Pro EXPs when funds allow.

    They really look nice. I am considering them for U90's. I dont use them much. I wonder if I would like them more with 30mm knurled handles?

    30mm is interesting. 35 may be more interesting to me. Time to make a decision.

    I didn't even see that there was a 35, that would more likely be my choice as well.

    At 35MM those are going to feel like Fat Gripz, wouldn't want those as my everyday training handle for a dumbbell. But I do like the looks of some of these need to bookmark for when my cushioned handles start to break down.

    I just installed them on my Elite USA's. Knurl is deep and feels good. Great value and really good customer service. Highly recommend.

    Ironmaster should also have optional stainless steel handles with various thickness on their square plate handles, it would be awesome if Average Joe could make something like that but I'm sure that would be treading in murky territory making a similar design of IM's handles.

    I preordered the 30mm for my U90 set. I will be impatiently waiting until April-ish. I figured my wife would have anything bigger than 30mm.

    I thought it over and realized 30 would probably be enough for the purpose of the PBs considering my barbell's 29...I went ahead and pre-ordered, figured that price was tough to beat getting stainless steel knurled handles at cheaper than the other competitors and will be superior to the contoured stock grips.

    Yep. They arrived about a week ago. I went for the 30mm also, which is the same diameter as Iron Grips.

    As above, I got a 30mm set from Average Joe about a week ago. They are more aggressive than a Rogue OPB or even standard Watson knurl. If anything, I think they're a little too aggressive. Cheaper than the rest though and not really any other gripes.

    Give or take 1/2 a mm, the U-90's measure 38mm in the middle and 32mm near the ends on the contoured handles. i have never liked these dumbells.

    I am going to look into 30mm to see if that changes things..

    If they remotely feel like iron grip, it would just be good.
