• True 28mm bars:  The Iron WoodyBars are a true 28mm.  Most other bars selling as "Olympic lifting bars" use thicker steal to reduce the cost of machining.  (A thicker shaft allows for the use of inferior grade steel.) 
• Meets IWF specifications:The bars conform to IWF specs in that they are "true 28mm bars." This is the spec that is usually missed by other bars.
• Designed for durability :  The sleeves attach via a snap ring like the more expensive Eleiko or Werksan bars, and NOT with an end bolt which is normal for the more cheaply constructed bars.  (End bolts are fine if a bar is going to be used for bench pressing and never or rarely dropped.  But an end bolt will NOT hold up to being dropped or used in a manner consistent with doing cleans or snatches.)
• Bushing design:  The bars have six total inches of bushing, using cast-brass bushing instead of cheaper oil-impregnated brass.  The use of high quality machine work and high quality cast brass bushings gives the bar a spin usually associated with needle bearings. The unique design of our sleeve and bushings means that regardless of direction the sleeve is being pulled or pushed, there is no steel-on-steel contact. This design feature give the bars a uniform spin in all phases of the lift.
• Comfortable knurling:  The knurling pattern on the bars was designed by actual high-level weightlifters (see below).  Many knurling patterns were tried and discarded after being used by the lifters in testing.  The knurling pattern eventually selected was agreed to be the best knurling they had ever used.
• Professional feel:  The bars have "whip" and spin which provide excellent feel while doing Olympic lifts. In fact they feel like you are using a $700+ competition bar.  Numerous athletes who are experienced enough to know what a good bar feels like
• Quality and durability at an affordable price:  Our bars offer the same feel as competition bars costing twice as much. 
• Finish: Bars have a satin chrome finish for performance and durability.
• Rust resistant:  Bars are made resistant to rust and discoloration by using chromes sleeves and collars. 
• Color coding:  Our bars have color coded end caps, to offer easy differentiation as to what bar you are using.  Color codes conform to the colors of competition bumper plates.
• Lifetime guarantee: Superior design features and use of top quality materials allow us to comfortably offer a lifetime guarantee.
