Quick Release Weight Clamp Collars

The Quick Release Collars fit onto standard 2-in. diameter Olympic barbells or loadable dumbbells to safely lift the bar without fear of plates falling off. All you need to do is squeeze the handles together to pull off and remove or add weight plates and then replace. Built for Olympic sized weightlifting equipment, these collars will fit 50mm diameter sleeves once clamped. The aluminum construction of these clamps will speak for themselves; their durable build will last for years with proper care. The TITAN sticker logo is affixed to each collar, atop the sleek fire red paint job.

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.
