Clout Fitness Olympic Barbell Clamps Collars

The Clout Fitness Olympic Barbell Clamps are a budget quick-release collar for standard 2” Olympic and hex-bar sleeves. A single lever presses a rubber-lined clamp against the bar — no spring tension to squeeze and no threaded knob to spin — so they go on and off one-handed in seconds. The design is patented (U.S. Patent D905805) and sold as a pair in several colors, backed by a lifetime replacement warranty if the clamp ever breaks.

Reviewers consistently rate them among the easiest collars to use: a firm push locks the lever with an audible snap, and the hold is described as “rock solid” with no plate movement once secured. The tradeoff is durability — the reinforced composite plastic body is more prone to cracking than an aluminum lever collar if dropped, and the latch is typically the first part to wear out, with some long-term owners reporting a looser hold after several months of use.

What is a Collar?

What barbell collars are

Collars (clips) lock the plates onto a barbell’s sleeves so they can’t slide or rattle off — a safety essential, especially for pressing and Olympic lifts. The common types: cheap spring clips, quick lock-jaw / quick-release collars (the everyday favorite — fast and secure), and competition collars (precision-weighted, 2.5 kg each, for calibrated meets).

What to look for

A secure clamp that won’t creep under drops or high reps, quick on-and-off operation, and a fit for your bar’s sleeve diameter (standard Olympic is 50 mm). For most home gyms, a pair of lock-jaw-style collars is the right balance of speed, grip, and price.

The Clout Fitness Olympic Barbell Clamps are a budget quick-release collar: a patented plastic lever clamp with an interior rubber lining, sized for standard 2” Olympic and hex-bar sleeves. Functionality and ease of use are the standout dimensions — reviewers consistently describe them as some of the easiest collars to put on and take off one-handed, with a positive “snap” confirming the lock and no wrist pressure required like a spring collar. Durability is the weakest dimension: the reinforced composite plastic construction is more prone to cracking than an aluminum lever collar, especially if dropped, and the latch is typically the first part to wear out, with some long-term owners reporting loosening after several months of use. Independent coverage is limited to hands-on blogger and YouTube impressions rather than lab-grade stress testing, so confidence in the long-term durability claims is moderate.

  • +Functionality: no squeezing or wrist pressure required, unlike a spring collar — easier for lifters with wrist issues (TotallyUniqueLife)
  • +Build quality: interior rubber lining grips the bar and holds "rock solid" once locked, confirmed after roughly a year of ownership (TotallyUniqueLife)
  • +Versatility: fits both Olympic barbells and hex/trap bars at the standard 2" sleeve diameter (Clout Fitness manufacturer page)
  • +Value: backed by a lifetime replacement warranty at a budget price point well under premium aluminum lever collars (Garage Gym Reviews; Clout Fitness manufacturer page)
  • −Durability: reinforced composite plastic construction is more prone to breaking than aluminum, especially if dropped (Garage Gym Reviews)
  • −Durability: the latch is typically the first part to wear out, with some owners reporting loosening or reduced hold after several months of use (Garage Gym Reviews — Best Olympic Barbell Collars guide)
  • −Build quality: no independent lab or long-term stress testing found — coverage is limited to blogger and YouTube hands-on impressions (knowledge base coverage)
  • −Value: current manufacturer pricing (~$22-$30/pair when in stock) runs well above the ~$10-$20/pair figures cited in some independent reviews, narrowing the budget advantage (Clout Fitness manufacturer page)
