Homegrown Lifting Barbell Clips

No, these clips are specifically engineered for 2-inch Olympic-style barbell sleeves. They will not provide a secure fit on standard 1-inch bars.

They feature a standard spring-tension design that requires a firm grip to open. While they are stiff enough to hold plates securely, most users find them easy to operate with one hand once they get the hang of the leverage.

Because they are made of steel, there is a possibility of minor scuffing on your barbell sleeve over time. If you are concerned about maintaining a pristine finish on a high-end bar, you may want to consider nylon or plastic collars instead.

Each order includes a pair of clips, which is exactly what you need to secure plates on both sides of a single barbell.

These spring clips are excellent for general lifting and keeping plates from sliding during standard movements. However, if you are doing heavy drops or Olympic lifting where the bar is slammed, you might prefer locking collars, which offer a more aggressive grip.
