10mm Stacked Weight Pin

Name: 10mm Stacked Weight Pin
Brand: Bare Steel Equipment
Rating: 4.85 (9 reviews)

The 10mm Stacked Weight Pin is Bare Steel Equipment’s patent-pending accessory for selectorized cable machines: a magnetic weight pin that lets a lifter add Olympic plates once a weight stack has maxed out. Its 10mm steel rod is wrapped in a 10” or 9.65” sleeve backed by another 2” of steel, and six “six-shooter” magnets at the base deliver 21 lbs of pull force to hold it in place against the stack. It’s built as a 3-in-1 tool – an adder weight for pushing past a stack’s max, a microloading device for finer jumps than the standard 10 lb plate increments (it weighs 5 lbs on its own), and a way to combine both. Rod length options (4”, 3.65”, 4.5”, 5”, or 6”) accommodate different machines’ plate-hole depth and stack width, and it’s rated to hold up to 135 lbs of added plates – though Bare Steel is explicit that it’s an adder-weight attachment only, not a substitute for a machine’s own selector pin under load. It’s made from 100% USA steel; the bare-steel finish is prone to rust in humid environments, and Hard Chrome or Cerakote finishes are sold as upgrades for corrosion resistance and customization.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.

The 10mm Stacked Weight Pin’s standout is functionality: three independent reviewers and three YouTube testers all converge on the same praise – strong 21 lb magnets, genuine microloading below the usual 10 lb stack jump, and enough capacity (135 lbs) to meaningfully extend a maxed-out cable machine. Build quality is consistently rated a step above its main rival, GymPin, thanks to USA steel construction and optional Cerakote/ hard-chrome finishes. The weakest dimension is durability/safety margin under load: multiple sources (King of the Gym, Garage Gym Experiment) flag that the magnetic hold weakens as added weight climbs past roughly 90 lbs or during fast/explosive reps, and recommend pairing it with a barbell collar rather than trusting the magnets alone at the top of its range.

+Functionality: 21 lb magnetic pull holds the pin securely to the weight stack across most machines tested (Bare Steel Equipment; Garage Gym Experiment)
+Functionality: enables true microloading -- 2.5-5 lb jumps -- below the standard 10 lb stack increment, which one reviewer called their main regret not buying over a sibling model (The Movement Review)
+Build quality: 100% USA steel construction with a precision-machined finish, rated ahead of competitor GymPin on materials and magnet strength (King of the Gym; Garage Gym Experiment)
+Versatility: multiple rod lengths (3.65in-6in) and finish/decal options fit a range of cable machines and mounting depths (Bare Steel Equipment; King of the Gym)
+Value: at roughly $100-115, reviewers call it one of the cheapest ways to add real capacity to a maxed-out cable machine (Mac Strength Co., YouTube)

−Durability: magnetic hold weakens under heavier added loads (90+ lbs) or fast/explosive movement, so a barbell collar is recommended rather than relying on the magnets alone (King of the Gym; Garage Gym Experiment)
−Value: priced higher than the main competitor, GymPin, for equivalent core functionality (King of the Gym)
−Versatility: at least one machine configuration was found incompatible during testing, and cable-row setups can lack the clearance the pin needs as the stack rises (Garage Gym Experiment; Ben Graham Fitness Solutions, YouTube)
−Build quality: bare-steel finish is prone to rust in humid environments unless upgraded to Hard Chrome or Cerakote (Bare Steel Equipment)
