KeppiFitness Barbell Clips OPENCOLLAR
Small Bulldog II Collars
These retro-tech collars hang on so tight that they bite into the bar. Best applied with a wrench to your plate-loaded dumbbells (but not your fancy new Eleiko bar): the teeth you save might be your own.
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.
