Great lat bar, it’s lightweight but built solid. Quality is excellent!

This is fairly expensive at $40, given that it's a no name brand, but I like the design (weight, grip size, knurling, smooth bearings, etc.) and it appears to be very well made.

I like it. Good quality. The texture is a bit rough but I personally prefer that for grip.

Light-weight but sturdy. Wish it were about two inches shorter so it would better fit in my gym bag. I cut mine down one inch shorter per side.

Good value.

I picked up this 18.8-inch straight cable bar attachment mainly for tricep pull downs, but it’s also great for other cable exercises like bicep curls and straight-arm pulldowns. I’ve been using a rope attachment up until now, and while it works, I’ve always found it harder to maintain strict form because the rope tends to move from side to side. With this bar, I can really isolate the triceps and control the motion much better.
The quality of the bar impressed me right away. It’s thick, has a solid weight to it, and the textured grip is a big plus since it prevents slipping, even when your hands get sweaty. Installation was simple using the included lock, since the ones from my machine didn’t quite fit. Once attached, the bar worked smoothly, and I noticed the difference immediately in how my triceps were targeted. For the price, this is an excellent upgrade to my home gym setup, and I’m very glad I added it.

I have two other short straight bars for cable attachment (none of the traditionally applied names really encompasses all that they can do). Both use 16 " of 1" steel tubing for the bar and have a steel hanger. One lacks a center bearing; I have it fitted with an old pair of Ivanko ergonomic grips. I use that one for heavier loads where the grips not only distribute the load better over the palms of the hands, but also reduce wrist movement. The other bar is more traditional, with a center sleeve bearing and rubber hand grips that only modestly increase the diameter of the shaft to around 1.125 inch.
So I really questioned if there was much point in obtaining another bar, even though several slight differences were featured. Well curiosity prevailed over frugalness, and when it came I hadn't even clipped it in before I was sold on this new bar. I like everything about it. Most immediately noticeable is the bar's very light weight compared to its steel counterparts. Having spent over 50 years with steel bars of this style, there was a moment of cognitive dissonance between what my eyes perceived and what I felt in my hands. Could anything this light be suitable for serious weight?–well, yes it can.
Though lighter, the new bar is made of thick walled tubular aluminum, is 18" long and has a diameter of 1.25 " So longer, thicker and .25 inch greater in diameter at the gripping surfaces than my other bars. The increased diameter is noticeable to the eye and even more apparent in one's hands. For my size men's medium hands, the diameter is perfect, as is the texture of the knurling. Compared to over a dozen of my other bars (including lat bars and extended straight bars) of different sorts, this new bar, raw and without any form of covering, feels best in my hand.
The quality of design and workmanship is readily apparent. The cast aluminum attachment sleeve is wide and closely fitted around the tube, secured by two metal collars which appear to be riveted in place. The bearing runs smooth as it comes, but runs even smoother with a few drops of electric razor oil (very thin, food safe, does not turn gummy) run into the inner side of the collars–I do this with all the bearings incorporated into my cable and other accessories not just to create a lubricating film, but to resist any ingress of perspiration. Where the thick attachment sleeve ends in a hole to accept the included carabiner (or most other carabiners commonly used in gyms), the hole is fitted with a ring of steel to prevent galling and wear.
Speaking of the carabiner, the supplied carabiner is excellent and will easily handle any weight which human (or even gorilla) hands might move with this bar. It is larger than most carabiners supplied with cable accessories, and has an excellent interlock between gate and body. Gate action is smooth and precise. Most carabiner's included or sold for gym use only mimic the look but not the safety features of true life support carabiners (i.e., climbing, arborist, SAR).
So overall, and in the specifics, this is an exemplary bar. Well worth having as your only bar of this nature, but also worth adding to your existing stable of cable attachments.
