NUOBELL

I bought them during the pandemic. I use them every single workout anywhere from 10-80 lbs. They’d definitely bust if I tossed them on the ground because of the plastic, so I don’t and they’ve held up very well the last 5 years. I would 100% buy them again. It’s the nuobell brand.

I own Nuobells (not the new S ones). Excellent product, imo, so long as you don't drop them. Someone asked a couple of

I have Nuobells. They are great, but there is a risk of breaking the internal mechanism if you drop them. I used to worry about this a lot, but I've had them for two years and have never had any issues. I would also consider Rep x Pepins and Snode with the magnetic weights to allow for 5lb adjustmen
