IMPRESA 2-Pack Hex Bolts for Olympic Bars/Olympic Bar Replacement Bolt

Worked great! Bought this to replace a loose bolt in my standard 45-lb barbell. Very good quality and perfect fit!

Not much to say they fit and were not rusted when they arrived. Very pleased.

My old bolts in my 18 yr old Olympic bar have gotten pretty rusty & even lost one. Purchased these as a replacement & they were a good fit. Less likely to rust & look solid enough.The tool you need to get them screwed on isn't the standard tool you have in your chest though. I believe a hex design is needed, but a larger than normal one is needed. I have alot of tools & I had to go digging around in my specialty box for that size.I believe a common 3/8ths ratchet will fit into the bolt at an awkward angle & be enough to tighten the bolt though incase you do not have the hex design. I tried & it worked. Did not fit perfect, but enough for someone to get the job done. Hope this helped :)

I would describe this product as "good enough". I have two bars that needed hex bolts: a traditional Olympic bar and an Olympic EZ Curl Bar. On the traditional Olympic bar, the bolt fit just fine. You will need two people though. As you tighten the bolt, you really will need someone with a firm grip to hold the bar. With the Olympic EZ Curl Bar, the bolt is a bit too long. So, there is some play in the sleeve. But, it works.

Awesome product. The reason why I bought this pair of bolts is because it is for my wavy style curl bar and the ends are olympic style fittings for my plates. I got the curl bar through a friend that did not need it anymore and requires 2 bolts. The olympic end pieces are able to be removed for maintenance and such. In order for the olympic end pieces to be removed, you need to remove bolts just like these item (bolts). There are two designated alley (hex) type fittings you can use. For this item, uses 12mm for the larger hole, but I’ve noticed there’s another slot deep inside for 5-5.5mm alley fitting (which I was happy to find and able to use since I don’t own anything higher than a 10mm from my 265-mechanic set from Home Depot for $100 from Black Friday sale). For this price it’s worth it. I’ll try to post pictures as soon as I can.

Fit as stated. They stick out on my fitness gear bar. About .5 inches when all the way in. Not really a big deal as it gets the job done. However, had to run to Lowe’s and get spacers to get rid of the slop. FYI if you’re missing the spacers you will need these or else you’ll have massive play in the bar. I got 3/4 inner diameter spacers. Just take the bolt with you. You’ll also need a 12mm Allen wrench which may need to order special since most people don’t have that size just laying on their tool bench.

The quality of the item was great and delivery was prompt. The problem was that the original bolts in my barbell are longer and the thread is a bit different, so I have not been able to make use of the parts.

I bought an old Olympic barbell off of Craigslist that was missing an end bolt. These replacements fit perfectly. I'm happy with them.My only critical comment is that the bolt head has an oddly massive drive hole. I have a ton of Allen wrenches, including many large ones. None of them were big enough for this drive hole. I ended up using a vice grip to screw in the bolt. The drive hole was far larger than any Allen wrench a homeowner would typically own.
