DUMBBELLS
In each
of our dumbbell product categories, we constantly refine and fine-tune our
designs and our manufacturing practices in passionate pursuit of the perfect
dumbbell. In rubber dumbbells, perfection is defined as being gentlest on
equipment, safest for people, indestructible, neutralized odor, a classic
look, an awesome feel, and super tight fastening. All of our fixed weight
dumbbells incorporate Ivanko’s PermaLock TM fastening system which employs
proprietary machining tolerances and surface preparation to achieve a metal-to-
metal bond that requires 400 foot pounds of torque to twist apart.
NOTE: FIXED DBELLS ARE NOT WARRANTIED AGAINST BREAKAGE WHEN DBELLS ARE ABUSED
OR DAMAGED DUE TO EXCESSIVE DROPPING ON FLOORS. IF YOUR FACILITY HAS NO PROGRAM
TO CONTROL ABUSIVE USE OF DUMBBELLS, BARBELLS, AND/OR PLATES, IVANKO WOULD
RATHER NOT ACCEPT THE ORDER.
CHROME
PRODUCTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CLUB OR COMMERCIAL USES. THESE PRODUCTS ARE
DESIGNED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES AND OR PERSONAL, SUPERVISED TRAINING APPLICATIONS
ONLY.
CHROME IS NOT GUARANTEED AGAINST CHIPPING OR FLAKING DUE TO THE SMACKING TOGETHER
OF DBELLS AND/OR DROPPING THE PRODUCT ON FLOORS.

IVANKO PRO STYLE DUMBBELLS
"Why Ivanko SDH Handles Are The Best."
Comparison of SDH Handles Ivanko vs. Brand "X"
IVANKO SDH HANDLES BRAND "X"
HANDLES
1-piece, drop forged steel (#1026) 3-piece, slip-on or welded washer
No oversized hole Oversized hole
Grade A alloy aircraft bolt Low minimum grade 2 carbon steelbolt
100% thread depth in handle Usually a 25% thread depth in handle. By making
hole over-sized, they have no tap breakage. The tap goes in and out quickly
and they make more handles. This is dangerous as you do not get a completely
threaded handle. The bolt has nothing to hold on to.
Triple chrome-plated with nickel base. One or two layer chrome plating.
IVANKO deep, custom knurl for sure, functional grip. Shallow or "cosmetic"
knurl; non-functional; offers no grip.
Gauges are used at each step to check exactness of manufacturing. No use of
any gauges.
* Washers are many times made out of powdered metal. This material was great
for typewriter parts, but will not hold up for a dumbbell washer.
