    Wonder how this would work for a barbell collar?

    Very expensive but thin, aluminum, quick release, made in US. Appears to be very high quality.

    Seems interesting but not worth the money to find out.

    I’d go lock jaw and be done with it. Working great for me, and probably easier on the hand if they have a tendency to snap open quickly

    That's a good point. It does look like they might be rough on your hands. My next collar purchase will probably be Rogue USA Aluminum magnetic:

    Agree that the first look potentially tough on the hands but I do like the thinness.

    Amazing how far collars have come. The home gym innovation swing has been in full force. Really cool. I might pick up a pair of those magnetic and open Eleikos as a stocking stuffer for myself. Should probably figure out more presents for the family first though.

    Here's an idea - Buy them as a stocking stuffer for her.
