About this product
This vintage set includes two fixed-weight cast iron dumbbells: one 8-pound and one 5-pound. The dumbbells are black in color and approximately 8 inches long. Made in the United States, the set has a total weight of 13 pounds. The brand is unbranded, and the item is vintage.
Our take
I appreciate the straightforward simplicity of these cast iron dumbbells. They have a classic look and feel—no frills, just solid iron. The 8 and 5 pound combo is good for lighter workouts or rehab. Being vintage, they may show some wear, but that adds character. The length is about 8 inches, which is compact. One downside: the grip is smooth iron, so sweaty hands might slip. Also, the set only has two mismatched weights, so you can't do bilateral exercises with the same load unless you buy another pair. For the price and free shipping, it's okay for specific needs.
