Quick verdict
LiftEvidence editorial assessment
An 85 lb set (pairs of 2.5, 5, 10 and 25 lb) of rubber-coated iron plates with steel inserts and three-hole grips. The coating cuts noise and protects floors, while the iron core keeps them slimmer than bumpers. They are not true bumpers, and owners report grease and odour on arrival.
