Stainless Steel Weight Horn

Name: Stainless Steel Weight Horn
Brand: Black Widow Training Gear
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)

A pair of stainless steel storage pegs from Black Widow Training Gear, a small-batch fabricator, built to hold Olympic plates on a rack’s stock holes. Owners buy them mainly to upgrade from a rack’s stock painted-steel horns to something that won’t chip, rust, or scuff plates over time, and several use them on non-Black-Widow racks and dumbbell carts rather than just their own. A protective washer at the base and a smooth finish keep plates from marring during loading. Offered in 5/8” or 1” diameter to fit most standard rack hole patterns, and in 6”, 9”, or 12” lengths depending on how much plate storage is needed per peg. Mounting hardware (zinc-plated) is available as an add-on if the rack doesn’t already have compatible bolts.

What is a Storage?

What gym storage is

Storage keeps a home gym safe, tidy, and usable: weight-plate trees and pegs, barbell holders (vertical or horizontal), dumbbell and kettlebell shelves, and wall or rack-mounted organizers. Loose plates and bars on the floor are a trip-and-damage hazard; storage reclaims space and protects your equipment.

What to consider

Match storage to what you own (plate diameter, number of bars, dumbbell count) and your space — wall-mounted units and rack-hung storage save floor area, while free-standing trees move easily. Check the weight capacity and, for wall units, that you can anchor into studs.

Black Widow Training Gear’s stainless steel weight horns are a small-batch fabricator’s take on the stock rack peg, and the buyer feedback that exists is unanimously positive – build quality is the standout dimension, with all three independent GymRadar reviewers giving perfect marks and one directly rating the finish above rival stainless-horn makers Irwin Fitness and Bremmy. Versatility is strong too: owners run them on non-Black-Widow equipment (one mounted a pair on Synergy dumbbell racks) and can choose between two diameters and three lengths. Durability is the weakest-verified dimension – there’s no long-term test of the horn itself, only a separate Black Widow product (rack platforms) holding up well after years of use as a brand-level proxy. Overall coverage is thin (three GymRadar reviews plus the manufacturer’s own on-site reviews, no independent editorial or video testing), so treat this as well-liked but lightly verified rather than deeply tested.

+Build quality: unanimous 5.00/5 across all three independent GymRadar reviewers, with one rating the finish above rival stainless-horn makers Irwin Fitness and Bremmy
+Functionality: fits and holds plates cleanly even on non-Black-Widow equipment -- one reviewer mounted a pair on Synergy dumbbell racks and reported a perfect fit
+Versatility: offered in 5/8" or 1" diameter and 6"/9"/12" lengths, and the maker will cut custom short lengths to solve spacing issues
+Value: GymRadar's Value sub-score also lands at 5.00/5 despite the premium per-pair price

−Durability: no long-term test of this specific product exists yet -- the only multi-year evidence is a different Black Widow product (rack platforms) holding up well, not the weight horn itself
−Coverage is thin overall -- just 3 GymRadar buyer reviews plus the manufacturer's own on-site reviews, with no independent editorial or video testing found
−Value: priced well above generic stock horns at $100 base for a pair, before length or diameter upgrades
