About CAP Barbell Cast Iron 1-Inch Weight Plate
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
93% praised its stylish design
The only potential downside of the product is that the gray finish might not match any black plates I already have, but I don't mind that at all.
The grey finish of the plates appears to be more durable than the black finish.
The quality is high and the appearance is quite good, especially the baked enamel.
The gray coating of the plates seems durable.

93% praised for its high-quality plates, while 7% found them flimsy
I am dissatisfied with the quality of the weights. They are poorly finished with small divots and pock marks, and are of very poor quality.
The layer of paint on the plate is too thick.
I had to return the product due to irritation and swelling on my hands and eyes while handling the plates, indicating poor material quality.
The hole was slightly bent and not cut right.
93% liked the perfect size and fit, but 7% found the hole tight
The plates are difficult to hold while loading bars and dumbbells because they are large and slippery.
The hole is too small for a standard barbell.
95% liked the accurate weight markings, but 5% found them off by a few pounds
At body pump, I found that using 1 lb weights increased my arm strength. Additionally, as a body builder, I consider 2.5 lbs to be a fractional weight.
I weighed the plates on my scale and none of them were exactly 12.5lbs.
The quality of CAP weights is not as good as it was in the past.
