Excellent quality. Great chin-up bar 
2008-07-16
Excellent pull-up bar, exactly what I was looking for. The welding is high quality, the handles are sturdy and the grips are comfortable. The extra parallel grips have a tough padding on them. The normal grips are metal with some texture to prevent slipping. The paint also helps prevent slipping.
The entire bar is about 46" wide, the mounts/parallel grips are about 25" apart. The mounts give about 8.5" to the parallel grip attachment holes, leaving about 4-5" of leeway when deciding how high to mount it.
Only minor issue with the bar is that it had some metal shavings rattling around inside, but they're pretty easy to shake out.
Mounting is pretty straightforward, but I suggest using two clamps to hold the bar in place, and carefully marking locations for each of the four holes. The included mounting hardware is only for 2xX joists, so I had to buy 5.5 inch bolts for a 4x10 joist.
Lastly, once up, this bar just plain looks hardcore. Mount it somewhere visible, and you'll want to use it.
