These dumbell weights comprise of the following (it's what I got, anyway!):
4 x 2.5Kg disks
4 x 1.25Kg disks
4 x 0.5Kg disks
2 x 14" solid steel, threaded, chrome plated bars with rubber washers
4 x 'spinlock' collars with rubber washers
1 x exercise chart
0 x plastic carry/presentation case!
These are a very well made, standard set of cast iron dumbell weights. Contrary to other reviews, I find the grip particularly comfortable and reassuring to hold but if you have slender hands, they might initially irritate a bit until you got used to them.
The rubber washers aid in securing the weights on the bar and stop any rattling of the disks. If you tighten the spinlocks on properly, they do not come undone!
Depending on what your strength level is and/or what exercises you do, 10Kg per dumbell may or may not be adequate. For example, 10Kg for aerobic exercises or Dumbell Front Raises (for the shoulders) may be quite sufficient or even too much but 10Kg might not nearly be enough for Bent-over Rows (for the back).
With the weights supplied, you can safely make 1 dumbell weigh 15.2Kg* if you want to and then just alternate whatever exercise you are doing on the other side of the body. By `safely', what I mean is that the spinlocks go on all the way and are flush with the end of the bar.
* 4x2.5 + 2x1.25 + 2x0.5 [disks] + 1x1.7 [bar+collars] = 15.2Kg
1 bar with 2 collars and no disks, weighs 1.7Kg - according to my digital kitchen scales!
Because these weights are cast iron, they are small in comparison to, say, sand-filled weights. This is good because there is more freedom of movement for some exercises and generally, they seem less cumbersome.... Read more ›

As said before these weights are very good, in the fact that the weights are easily removed so that you can choose the weight you want to lift. There are a few problems though, namely that the grip really hurts your hand and can rip up cheap lifting gloves. Also it is hard to come by the weights, so that you can lift over 10kg. Argos sell 5k weights but that can be too much of a jump. Altogether the weights are good if you wish to lift up to 10 and have some decent gloves.

don't have enough weights to be able to leave what I need on the bars.
The weights that come with them are not going to be much use to you if you're a man over the age of 15,you're going to want to change up pretty quick,I bought a set of 4x5kg plates from argos and that put them on aswell as the discs provided to begin with.
Spin locks have a tendancy to undo if you are doing a movement that has any kind of swing(like standing alternate bicep curls),which can be very annoying,but doesnt happen too much if you make them tight enough.If you are doing pressing exercises they should stay on fine.However changing the plates is very quick and easy which about makes up for the undoing thing.

Did'nt matter a great deal to me but it only gets delivered in a carboard box, not the plastic 'carry case' with handle described in the item description. Other that that the weights themselves are fine.
