    Can You Help Me Find Specific Spinlock Handles?

    I'm just starting out with weight lifting, and I don't have a lot of money (<$1000 total) or space, so I'm looking for a pair of spinlock handles that I'll get some cheap pancake plates for + a bench and pullup bar as basically my whole setup, but I'm having a hard time finding handles with the right specs:

    - spinlock as mentioned for cheapness, space efficiency, and faster switching than pro-style while higher weight capacity than adjustables
    - overall quality steel with steel handle, preferably medium knurl
    - 16in length, long enough to load up to decent weight (~125 each, ~250lbs total) for squats, deadlifts, etc but not so long the ends hit each other during deadlifts, presses, etc
    - handle length (total inner length between weights) of 5.5-6in for enough thigh space for deadlifts
    - handle width of around 1.5in for somewhat fatter grip for better forearm work
    - not more than $200-300 for just the handles

    I've spent a few days looking, but I've yet to find what I need. Most have thinner and shorter handles, and build quality is usually crap.

    Any suggestions? Is there somewhere I should be looking that I don't know about?

    Trying to find quality spinlocks might be a tall order. It's likely they all come from the same factory in China. Adjustable dumbbells like Ironmasters or PowerBlocks will be a better investment.

    If you want to go the loadable handle route, I would go with handles that accommodate 2" plates. Then you aren't spending money on plates with 1" holes with limited usefulness and resale value. I'd probably get Rogue handles and Weight-it-Out plates.
