    UPDATE: Not to throw gas on a fire for those who have had trouble with EliteFTS, but I just received shipping notification from them on my order that was just placed 5 hours ago, with estimated delivery date of 12/10/2014! I live in Ohio, but still impressive....

I can just see Dave Tate laughing at these types of complaints.
    The lack of attention to detail to clean. coat, finish is very poor. Especially in the grip areas, which can be a hazard for the skin. IF it wasn't for that it would be alright. "Laughing", plenty of other companies making this type of product and so does the local welder. Keep your standards high or lose customers..simple business 101.

    I know this is an old thread, but what was the ultimate outcome? Did EliteFTS step up and replace the bar or at least issue you some type of credit? If I'm expected to live with Titan quality, I expect Titan prices.

    Ha, ha. This is funny. EliteFTS has a history of poor quality for their SSB and other specialty bars. My EliteFTS SSB has crooked collars and lots of weld splatter. It is like they did not even use a jig to set the parts before welding. I did better welding in school.

    My only consolation is I bought the bar on sale for a good price. I squat regularly with it, and despite the poor welding and fab, it works well and has held up well over the years.

    I always see it as such a shame when manufactures do 7/8's of the work correctly, and skip over the easy and simple part of knocking off the dingleberries/spatter. Much of that crap will come off in one pass instantly with a wire wheel attached to a grinder, yet they don't even do that much.

    It's laughable that Elite would a take the attitude of, "It's good enough for me, so why are YOU complaining?", and continue selling those products at full price. When it's their money getting spent, they often turn into the whiniest customers on the planet. Like the old saying goes, "It's not so funny when it's YOUR mom".....
