Thanks for testing the limits, great video! Just purchased mine 80lb would be more than enough, and the best word to describe this dumbbell is: simple. The simple design is what convinced me over the competition. Also they advertised a longer screw in Amazon for it to load up to 160lb. So thats great news for whoever wants to add more weight than 80.
They are a great value for what you get. I believe they sell the longer pins on their direct site. I’m hoping to pick up a pair later this year…. We’ll see. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for videos as not many reviews available about eisenlink dumbbells. Did you know that you can purchase long screws on theirs official website. It allows adding weights on dumbbell up to 160lb.
Will a magnet stick to the Eisenlink dumbbells? If so, Harbor Freight sells a HFT 150 lb pull retrieving magnet that weighs 2.07 lbs for $9.99 each and a HFT 250 lb pull retrieving magnet that weighs 4.85 lbs for $19.99 each. The magnets would be a relatively cheap way to add additional weight to the Eisenlink dumbbells. For instance, two HFT 250 lb pull retrieving magnets (one placed on each end of the dumbbell) would increase a single 50 lb Eisenlink dumbbell to 59.7 pounds. There is an eye screw in the middle of each magnet, but if it can't be removed, the magnet could be placed in a manner that won't prevent bench pressing with the Eisenlink dumbbells.
@@123.MikeCheck I found the weight of each magnet by asking the internet query, "What is the weight of the HFT 250 lb and the 150 pull retrieving magnets" on an AI website. If you are considering using other magnets from other manufacturers, I suggest you research the weight of each magnet by using an AI research website.
Thank you for posting the follow-up video. At 95 lbs, you may be pushing the limit, but I will be comfortable to load it up to 85 lbs, which is more what I need.
I purchased the eisenlink 45lbs 20kg set two dumbbells.when I was performing overhead exstensions the plates fell off and almost hit my head they are a death trap I would definitely recommend avoiding and purchasing fixed Dumbells instead
Hi there. I’m sorry to hear of your bad experience with your set. I’m glad you are ok and hope you were able to return it. Thank you for sharing and for watching. Also, many apologies for my late response to your comment.
@jmk.3943 Hi. As long as the locking pin is tightly secured, the plates should not slip or fall off. I have not had any problems with these so far. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
I really want to buy these with the longer locking pins and additional plates. The only thing holding me back is the abnormally long handle. Have you been able to adjust to that?
Hi there. The more I use it, the more I got used to the longer handle. In my opinion it’s just a matter of getting used to it. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
the weight plates on an iron master dumbbells will slightly slip and twist when the dumbbell is heavily loaded from a slight drop of about a foot, for example when de-loading after bench press. i'm concerned that the set screws on these may break, strip or crack the plates. any thoughts?
I have not had any issue with the set screws coming loose or breaking. But because my home gym is on the 2nd floor of our townhome, I don't drop the dumbbells. So I can't speak to the results after several drops. The screws are removable. Would just need to find replacements. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any other questions.
Can you confirm the handle length. Its too long. I mean on site its mentioned that inside lenght is 175 mm (6.9 inches). Does these dimensions include the 6mm plate welded together. I mean then total lenght might be 188mm. It will ve difficult to balance on small hands
Hi there. Sorry to have kept you waiting. On my set, the handles measure 6.75 inches (from inside the welded plate to other welded plate). Total length WITH the welded plates is 7.375 inches. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks so much for watching!
@@shadmandogar7349 Hi. The actual threaded portion of the locking pin is about 3.625 inches (or about 92mm). The entire locking pin (threaded portion plus knurled "handle") is about 4.125 inches (or about 104.8mm). Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Excellent review. One question regarding thickness of weight plates. Are 2.5 lb and 5lb of same thickness. 2.5 lb seem like 4mm thin. Can you please confirm
Hi. You are correct. The 2.5 lb plates are thinner. The 2.5 lb plate is 1/4 in. thick or about 6.35 mm. The 5 lb plate is 3/8 in. thick or about 9.5 mm. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks so much for watching!
@@eshakhan5752 Hi. I don’t have the long locking pins so the absolute max I can put on the dumbbell is 95 lbs. The total length at this weight is about 14.75 in. This is from locking pin to locking pin. Thanks again and let me know if you need anything else.
@@eshakhan5752 Hi. A great question. The threads are not through the whole handle. The threaded portion is about 3/4 in. into the handle. Let me know if you need anything else checked out. Thanks!
Hi there. Many apologies for the long wait. I have not been able to get the long locking pin so I cannot say with 100% certainty the stats from Eisenlink's website is accurate. But here is what I was able to obtain: The long pin is 6.77 inches or 172mm (not including the knurled handle). Total length of the long pin plus handle is 7.2 inches or 185mm. The standard pin (the one I have) is 3.63 inches or 92mm (not including the knurled handle). Total length of the standard pin plus handle is 105mm. I find this stat hard to believe, but long pin (according to Eisenlink's website) is 2.5lbs or 1.1kgs. Which is the same weight as the standard pin that I have. Hope this helps and apologies again for the delayed response. Thanks so much for watching!
Great review Man. I don't understand: the real weight of 20 kg official config is 22.50 ? And the "36 Kg mode" is 43.1 Kg? (obviously I don't see a problem with having more weight than you paid for LOL)
Hi there. I'm sure each set is different so I wanted to test the weight accuracy of my 50lb (22.7kg) set and am satisfied with how close it is. The other experiment was just to see how much I could physically load using the locking pin that came with my set. Turns out you can fit a maximum of 95lbs (43.1kg) which is more than its listed weight. But caution should be used when using more than the listed weight capacity. I hope this answers your question. Please reach out if you have any others. Many thanks for tuning in!
Hi. That is a good question. I could be wrong but I think Eisenlink hit the market first but they may not be the manufacturer. They are made overseas, and likely sold to various companies. Kinda like how the same hex dumbbells are sold by various brands. I could be wrong though. Sorry if this does not provide concrete information. Thanks for watching!

I just picked up the old hoist adjustable dumbbells which pretty much are the same, great dumbbells they will last a long long time.
Excellent. Good luck in your fitness journey! Thanks again for watching.
those may slide out, this is why they added looking screws on the holder to the plates, so it wont slide out be careful
Same as iron master there is like 2 cm or less when I load up 75 . The pins are correct but are too short aswell.
Thanks for the insight and thanks for watching! 🤙🏻
I take that back there is less than 1cm screw on with 75lbs !

Think about the construction ;) The weight isnt at the locking pin. The screw is only for locking, not for holding.
That’s a great point. Thank you for watching!
The screw literally holds the weight, what do you mean?
