great pull-up bar. very stable. even better with a solid steel bar inside at 45inches long. i ordered this for my building here in afghanistan during my current deployment. everyone loves it and uses it daily. it does not roll, and i've had 220lb guys do pullups on it. great product. and delivery was extremely fast...even to afghanistan (apo address).

this one can't spin and thats good

I bought a bar that looks exactly like this at Sports Authority. IT seems to be the only one that solves the problem of the bar spinning. With the design of the ends of the bar and how they fit in the brackets it cannot spin. What it says about portability in the description is nonsense. You absolutely must use the brackets and they MUST be screwed in securely. My bar came with no foam hand grips, just as the one pictured. My bet is you get no hand grips. But you do get a chrome plated steel bar thats not going anywhere once you get up. Sports Authority had it for $14.99

Good pull up bar

Only remotely negative comment I have about it is that the padding for your hands can't be moved along the bar to change your grip. Hasn't been a problem at all for me though. All in all great and cheap.

pull.....up......

hey, this is the only way to get your 20 pull ups in the PFT marines!!! Do 5 every time you walk under the bar and a few max sets a day and you should be up to 20 in no more than 6 weeks....unless your a fat body! then you need to go run! Also this fit my 40" doorway fine, It should fit up to 46" door easy I only wish the grips were moveable. Until net time.....Stay motivated!!

sturdy and widely adjustable

I wish it didnit' ahve to be screwed in, but it is sturdy, so i guess its worth it.

decent pull up bar very wide

2008-05-20
well, i am pretty pleased with the tko, i have bee wanting a pull up bar since the middle school for some reason. the tko is the only bar i found that is so wide. it goes to 50 inches i think ( i needed 40+ inches) most bars top out at 38. the bar seems to support my weight fairly well (190-200) but i try to grip it wide to be safe. i would not try to hold it right in the middle if you are heavy and putting it up wide like i did. still im willing to bet its one of the better bars out there. if i could change something besides possibly an even thicker gauge of steel, it would be to make the handgrips adjustable which they are not. that is annoying and dumb, but hey i gave this bar 4 out of 5 stars so i guess i liked it

Very strong

Good product, actually ripped out of the wall, but thats a testament to the strength of the bar, and my crappy wall. excellent if you have wider than a standard doorway.

Box too big.

The pull up bar came fine and was what was expected. Easy to put up and good price. Our only real drawback was that for some reason it is shipped in a HUMONGOUS box. Seriously, the pull up bar is like 2feet long (before extending) and only a few inches thick but it came in a box around 5ft tall and 3 feet square. Seems like a waste of cardboard.

Great Pull-Up Bar

I am a 13 year old boy and I got this bar for my room, hoping to build upper body strength, and I have noticed that by using it each time that I walk in to my room, I have been able to do more and more of them. The bar works great and I recommend it to anybody. It stays in place and doesn't roll at all.

Solid Pull-Up Bar for a great price

I spent a lot of time researching a good pull-up bar and I'm satisfied I bought this one. The most important things for me were durability and functionality and this bar definitely gets good marks. It's easy to install and the solid construction means you can jump up and do pull-ups like a madman and not worry about some rickety bolt coming loose or the bar sliding around (based on the reviews of other bars this seemed to be a problem). Basically, a great bar!
