Although there was a little wait to get them, I can't say enough about these. Not only are they more maneuverable on a bench, but they've also changed the way I grip for the better. They're an excellent product, and I will recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their grip and workout form.
I'm extremely happy. These are an excellent product - a very versatile dumbbell set. The thicker grip will change the way you do dumbbell curls entirely. They're awesome and well worth the money. Great job and well done! They're 5 out of 5 stars for me...🤛🏻😉
The build quality are very solid also.
I can only comment of the quality of the items of the MAX BUNDLE that I received so far, which are the AdaptaBELL Max and the centering adapters, which seem to be good quality. I have yet to receive the Extensions (see below). Like other reviewers, I find the Max handle diameter to be somewhat large, but I do like the sturdy feel of the metal. I have been able to fit three 10 lb CAP Olympic weight plates on either side (60 lb total) using the centering adapters, and everything seems solid once its screwed in. I am fairly confident that with the extensions I will be able to fit another two 10 lb plates on either end to make a set of 100 lb dumbbells without having to resort to buying the thinner but more expensive calibrated weight plates. Pros: the potential to create a heavier and sturdier feeling dumbbell than most adjustables out there. Wallet friendly. Cons: it is slower to adjust than others (e.g. Nuobells). Larger diameter handles, which may be off putting for those with smaller hands. LONG WAIT TIMES FOR DELIVERY AND POOR COMMUNICATION ABOUT DELAYS. A big reason I'm only giving this a three star rating is that I received no communication acknowledging that I hadn't received the AdaptaBELL Extensions other than a paper invoice with my initial delivery stating that it was incomplete. I had to contact Kensui to confirm that I was still scheduled to have this delivered, at which time they told me the Extensions were redesigned and being shipped from another warehouse once they arrived to the US. If I hadn't reached out myself, I'm doubtful I would have gotten word about the reason for the delay. It has been more than two weeks since I received my initial incomplete shipment and there is still no update on when I will receive the remaining items (this is after the 3 week wait for the initial delivery, which to their credit, they did acknowledge on the website). I understand that there will be production delays on occasion, but the least Kensui can do is to keep consumers better informed about delays and projected delivery dates. Looking forward to getting the extensions one day and finally creating heavy dumbbells, which is why I purchased the bundle in the first place. Maybe I'll write an updated review at that time.
I’ve read all these glowing comment, but lemme give you the real run down on my experience. I ordered on march 9th.. I didn’t receive the package until the 29th and the main issue is I didn’t receive my extensions which I needed simply because I can press 80+ lbs for reps. And throwing 20lb weights on these things isn’t practice because of the size so I have to use 10s. So I received my order was happy for the most part because I was told the extensions would come in a separate package as of today April 13th I still haven’t received them. After 2 uses I had one of them dumbells roll off my bench which is only about maybe a foot off the ground and the dumbell screw snapped in half with only about 70lbs loaded on it… for 200+ $ I thought these would hold up for atleast a few years. But no the screws are not solid they’re filled with some kind of aluminum cast or something if I can upload a picture I will, but as of right now I’m writing these via their email. I cannot recommend this product save your money and invest in a cheaper pair of Olympic dumbells on Amazon or buy some solid 70s. These might be alright for lower weight but for heavier weight I cannot recommend them and as for the company and receiving it sucked I honestly wouldn’t recommend buying anything from them.
I knew immediately that I needed these after the first viewing. It was even better than expected. I can’t imagine a pull day without them. I like the angle adapters as well. If you have a home gym these are much needed. As far as best home gym accessories these are up there with Landmine attachments, Rubber bands and the hip thrust pivot pad/bar. (Ps…if you go to a commercial gym these are much needed there as well, just toss them in your bag…but don’t leave them. You’ll never see them again.)
I’ve been using the AdaptaBell for a few weeks now. It is an excellent product. They handle more than sufficient weight, and are easy to use. I purchased the Max. The only thing I would potentially complain about is; the handles are a little thick & and could use a little more aggressive knurling. All in all, I highly recommend this product for home gym use.
I ordered a set of 175lb plates, plus additional pairs of 10lb, 5lb, and microloading plates- all in chrome. This was part of a pre-Christmas sale, and compared to other companies it was a great deal. The order was delivered piece-by-piece over the course of TWO MONTHS. During that time, one pair of 25lb weights was lost in the mail and one of the 10lb weights was damaged in transit. I never received one of the 0.5lb micro plates and just gave up on it.
Due to running out of stock and the extreme delay sending the order, the Kensui CEO personally reached out and shipped me gold-tone 25's and 45's at no additional charge. They also sent a replacement 10lb for the one that was damaged- also in gold-tone.
Do I appreciate their desire to fulfill my order?
- Yes. Absolutely. And massive kudos to the Kensui team for trying their best to get orders out. But I placed my order in mid-December and it was not completed until the end of February.
Do the weights work the same regardless of color?
- Yes. They do.
Would I love to trade in the gold plates so my set was all the same color?
- Yes. Every day.
Quality of the plates is good and the steel is durable and finish is gorgeous. It will show fingerprints instantly, so keep a cloth handy. I am rough on these, and use them on the plate vest, mace, kettlebell, and several barbells. They have held up well, but the brand lettering is beginning to wear off one of my gold-tone 45lb plates and one of the 10lb silver plates after only a month of use.
The colored bands around the outside are super helpful when trying to count, but I wish they were brighter and consistent. One pair of my 5lb weights arrived with a black band and the two others had no indications.
Also, it would be great if 15lb and 55lb plates were available- especially since the 15lb ones are shown in some videos.
Despite the fulfillment issues, I'm planning to order more of these. Not only are they functional and well-made, they're aesthetically superior to the drab black rubber plates or utilitarian steel plates. Since my home gym is visible in my small apartment, I may as well enjoy how the gear looks. Plus, hearing the loud clatter of real steel plates during a lift just makes the whole experience better.
So in short;
Quality 8.5/10
Aesthetics 10/10
Fulfillment 2/10
Not only did the Swissies take 3 weeks to even be dispatched, but once they arrived, they look tarnished and already used. No response from customer service. Totally unacceptable conduct from Kensui.
I don’t often write reviews but I had to for those. As a Swiss citizen I kinda like their name ;). As a gym rat I love their ergonomics and thoughness. They’re a great addition to my weighted pull up sessions. 100% would recommend.
I love the simplicity and convenience of the design. It’s so easy to quickly switch grips - straight, overhand partially pronated, underhand partially supinated.
The annoying flaw? Three of the four rubber pads fell off on the first use. This is a problem that Kensui is aware of - as numerous reviewers have pointed this out - and should have been corrected by now. The manufacturer attached the pads with rubber cement (a terrible choice of adhesive for this application). Kensui recommended super glue to reattached the pads. This would likely work better than rubber cement, but the more durable fix would be a 2-part epoxy. I decided not to reuse the rubber pads - I picked up some felt furniture pads (with adhesive backing) from Lowe’s and cut them to shape. Works better than the rubber pads, anyway.
You should expect to reattach or replace the rubber pads (sooner than later). Otherwise, it’s a good product.
I am using it with cap standard plates and it comfortably allows for 3 plates or 60 lbs. it may be possible to add a smaller 1.25 or 2.5 lbs plate also. Not as quick to change as I hoped. Grip feels good, thicker than twist lock dumbbells so getting used to it.
It’s really wonderful product of my gym now as I can increase or decrease the weights easily for my workouts. Liked it and advise to try it . You will fell in love with it as it’s a great.
When I got the vest, I got the long sleeve for oly plates, and the long one for standard size (1" hole) plates. Both stick out, look awkward and are impractical when wearing something over the vest in cold weather. These ones are flush, look better and fit better under clothing. They allow me to carry two standard size plates per side on them. That is more than enough weight-wise for me. I guess I could go up to two 25 lbs plates on each side if I wanted to.
The handles are decent.
Pros: They fit snug on the pull-up bar that I’m using and that gives them a solid feel. The extra rubber half ring helps keep them snug.
Cons:
-The knurling isn’t adequate, I decided to go with silicone grip tape, which helps tremendously.
- The space between handle and the top hook is very small. I scrape my knuckles every time I grip them. This makes using addition wrist/grip support not an option, which is a disadvantage when I want to use the weight vest. I took a photo and have included it.
- the length of the handle itself is almost too short, another inch would be a huge help.
So, overall, it’s just decent. I’ll continue using them but I came close to buying a different set.
I recently purchased the adapta-bells with the extension screws to add more weight. The ends of the screws (which were extra) are extremely sharp and have to knurling like the screws that come with the handles when purchased, casing my hands to bleed from my fingertips being lacerated and not being able to unscrew one pair of the dumbells, resulting in me having to place the dumbell in a vice and turn the whole dumbell. Please, if you're going to sell additional pegs/screws to hold more weight, why wouldn't you just make them a longer version of the ones that come with the handles?
I must admit I've come around on the Kensui Adjustabell Max. A few months ago I was rather scathing following the 2-month wait for the product and lack of customer service, but since then I've decided the key is to keep the plates as few as possible, 3 per side at most, and be liberal with lubricants (that's what the kids call a straight line). I've ordered 20-lb standard plates and have fingers crossed that the bolts will fit. Extended bolts are a non-starter as it's hard enough to negotiate 3 plates at a time, let alone more. Besides that, I'd NEVER order anything from Kensui again.
Buenas tardes REMY !!

GRACIAS
I bought many times for me and my friends. very nice for training
These dumbbell handles have exceeded my expectation. I bought these to see if I’d like them before I bought the more expensive adjustable dumbbells. I already had enough weight plates, so I just needed the handles. For the regular size I was able to make 70# each (25’s and 10’s). I bought the extenders to add height. Not only could I add weight but they are metal and appear more durable. I was able to make #80’s each with room to add. They never came loose and seem sturdy.
I bought these to only do chest exercises. I have had no issues with range of motion while doing flat or incline. I tried tricep over head extension and the weight plates were too big and awkward. Needless to say I’m very satisfied and won’t be buying adjustable dumbbells.
Uno de los mejores chalecos !
Es muy cómodo! Se ajusta excelente y es de muy buena calidad
I have been using my Max handles and they are awesome! Being a home gym user, I have a healthy mix of both standard and olympic plates. The ability to switch back and forth, and even combine them on the same handle makes for a very versatile system. I also recently traveled and can confirm I was able to safely take these through the airport on my carry on and to the hotel I was staying at. The hotel gym had a few random dumbbells up to about 25lbs, and then just a cheap all in one machine with a dusty barbell leaning against the wall in the corner and some random. I was able to load up to about 75lbs on one handle since that that's all the hotel had, but still stay inside a reasonable hypertrophy range and do some rows, single leg exercies and more. With a bit of imagination, I don't think these handles will ever be the limiting factor to your workouts!
Normal pull-ups hurt my elbows (and even the normal Swissies). Something about the V2 Max shape works for me- I can finally do pull-ups again! I girth hitched some cord around my bar and hooked the grips through the loops so they can rotate freely.
