About Micro Gainz Calibrated Fractional Weight Plate Set of 2 Plates
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
74% praised its stylish design, while 26% found it unattractive
The plates are made from powdered metal and coated in a flat black finish which matches all the other plates at the gym. They are also strong and durable.
The edges of the opening need more attention in the finishing process. They should be rounded or beveled to avoid sharpness.
79% praised for its high-quality plates, while 21% found them flimsy
The plates are perfect for two reasons - they are made from powdered metal using a mold for consistent weight and are strong and durable.
The finish quality is not great and the edges of the opening are sharp. I had to lightly file the edges to smooth them out and they were catching/dragging on the tiny grooves of my barbell ends.
79% liked the perfect size and fit
I am satisfied with the 1.25s as they are almost exactly as thick as they are wide.
These plates allow me to load an additional 2.5lbs onto the barbell, helping me progress each week.
With the help of micro weights, I have been able to gradually increase my lifts higher than ever before.
86% liked the accurate weight markings
I purchased 1.25 lb weights to go up in even increments since my gym's lowest weight is 2.5 lbs.
I cannot weigh the plates precisely, but I trust the other reviewers who have mentioned their precision.
