The Iron Grip OB-5 Power Bar features a medium diamond knurl and a 28.6mm diameter bar shaft for a secure and comfortable grip for hands of all sizes. Precision milled bar sleeves have 9.5" worth of loadable space for weight plates and Nylatron bushings to remove any torque on the wrists that can be caused by wobbling or spinning plates. The Patented six-sided bar collars don't just look unique they keep your unloaded bars from rolling across the floor when being stored under a dumbbell rack or other flat surface. And the satin finish hard chrome plating is virtually indestructible and will not chip, peel or flake unlike decorative chrome used on lower quality power bars.
Iron Grip Power Bar Maintenance - After making an investment in an American Made Power Bar by Iron Grip, most people want to know how to retain the beauty and functionality for many years to come. Iron Grip recommends that no lubrication is used on their Nylatron bushings. In fact, their sleeves are assembled and tightened using a locking compound that forms a permanent seal. Iron Grip Power Bar sleeves will never need tightened, lubricated or maintained. Keeping the hard chrome finish looking shiny and new is as simple as occasionally wiping them down with a thin layer of protectant, such as WD-40. Other than that, you can always count on your Iron Grip bars to be reliable an in need of little to no maintenance.
Iron Grip power bars, Olympic bars, weight plates, dumbbells and barbells are available for open market US Government purchases via Ironcompany.com, LLC GSA contract 47QSMA22D08NN.
