Questions & Answers
When used as intended, the lock jaw is made of tough polimar and is extremely durable. I've had mine for a long time and they've never let me down. It's simple to use the quick release and lock mechanisms.
The safety latch does, in fact, click into place.
Yes, it's made to be installed and removed with just one hand.
Deadlifts can be done with either an OLY 2 or a PRO 2 plate, and plate type has no bearing. The PRO 2 has an extra locking tab that is better suited to deadlifts with multiple bar drops.
Selected User Reviews For Lock-Jaw PRO 2 Barbell Collar - Quick Release Barbell Clamp
At 135 pounds, I was performing squat cleans and dropped my bar after each rep. My clip had completely broken in half. br>Recent changes: My clips were quickly replaced after Lock Jaw reached out to me. The customer service was helpful and friendly. br>br>Update after 2 years- The replacement clips are still in good shape!.
At my gym, finding a good set of collars is always difficult, so rather than wasting time looking for them, I decided to purchase my own. I've used these at the gym and at home for squats, deadlifts, cleans, and snatches with no problems, and I haven't noticed any slippage even after dropping from an overhead position several times. It takes some effort to put on the collars, but they are simple to remove. My bumper plates came with a cheaper set of LockJaw collars, which are much more difficult to put on and remove. Other reviewers have mentioned that the rubber gripping surface inside the collar has slipped, which is most likely due to a manufacturing issue with the rubber gripping surface. I haven't had this problem, but if I had, I would have sought a replacement from the manufacturer. These collars are something I'd recommend buying. They are pricey, but they are well worth it.
Before settling on the Lock Jaw Pro 2, I looked into a few options. Rogue HG 2: Read all the reviews and watch the videos on how to use spring clips. 0 (which are identical to these), Lock Jaw Oly without the safety lever, and a few clones Even when dropping weights on deadlifts, these are solidly constructed and do not move. I considered going with the Lock Jaw Oly to save a few bucks, but I read that these clamp more tightly. Purchase it right now!.
Spring clip collars are available at the gym where I work out, and if you can find them, they're a pain to put on and take off because pressure must be applied. This isn't a big deal until you're halfway through your workout and your muscles are tired, and you find yourself applying pressure with two hands. It's a lot easier to put on and take off with these collars. It's as simple as flipping it open and sliding it on or off. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to replace spring clip collars or purchase collars for the first time after using them for a few months.
After a few years of not going to the gym, I re-entered in February to resume my quest for a healthier lifestyle. I've discovered that at the gym where I go, I occasionally have to look for a pair of barbell clamps, which can be quite inconvenient. I finally had enough and decided to purchase my own reliable clamps for those occasions when the gym clamps were unavailable. br>br>It turns out that not every clamp is created equal. Through my research, I've discovered that some are made cheaply, others are great at first but eventually fail, and still others outlast them all. These clamps would qualify as being very well made if one were to decide which clamps are among the best solely based on the average overall user reviews. br>br>These clamps have only been in my possession for about a month. When I've needed to use my own, they've worked out perfectly. Once you learn how to use them, clamping and unclamping them is simple.
After seeing Joe Sullivan's post about his Lock-In, I decided to give it a try. I knew I needed to get a pair after seeing his jaw collars keep his 7 plates on during a squat even when the equipment failed and the bar bent. I'm glad I went ahead and pressed the button. They arrived today, and I let my friend use them for his 5-plate deadlifts, and they didn't move an inch. "These are real," my friend said. " These are by far the best collars I've ever used!.
These things are incredibly difficult to unlock! My girlfriend is having some difficulty getting them off, but they're not going anywhere. All of the joints and workmanship are tight and of high quality. We have a few junky, low-cost versions at my gym, and they feel lighter/lower-quality, as well as being a little loose. We'll have to wait and see how these hold up over time, but I'm confident that this is a case of buying right the first time.
br>br>The large lever and spring-loaded latch give it a solid and secure feel. As seen in the video, clamping is locked down. Originally, I was going to go with Rogue, but after reading reviews, this seemed to be the better value. br>br>I was going to go with Rogue, but after reading reviews, this seemed to be the better value. br>br> br>br>After putting a few miles on them, I'll update this review.
