EliteFTS Powerbar Vs EliteFTS Iron Cowboy Bar

Both bars are extremely high quality, I wanted to make a video comparing the two bars.

Similar: 28.5mm diameter, 131cm long center shaft, powerlifting knurl markings.
Unfortunately both appear to be out of stock at the moment.

Differences:
Tensile strength- Powerbar: 190k, Iron Cowboy Bar: 200k
knurl- the Powerbar has a very aggressive volcano tip knurl. The Iron Cowboy bar has a little more passive volcano tip knurl; still very sticky and good but doesn't feel like it will rip your hands open.
Sleeves and collars- are different sizes, see video for details.

I prefer to user the Powerbar for squat and bench press while I use the iron cowboy bar for deadlift.

Thank you! The iron cowboy is the only one they sell in the UK so I've been thinking about buying one

I had my EliteFTS Powerbar since September of last year. I honestly believe it's the best powerbar out on the market with no popularity. The knurls are very aggressive which is awesome. Plus the knurls stop about an inch & a half before the sleeve shafts, perfect for bands which I incorporate in my lifting. It's a great Powerbar.

The iron cowboy bar is another name for a Texas power bar. Mine just got shipped can't wait for it to come in!

Let’s call the Iron Cowboy what it is, a knock off on the TPB. I mean it’s identical in specs plus the collars are exactly like the trademarked TPB.

What are your initial thoughts of quality on the Iron Cowboy? Hate the name, but ordering because it's literally the only power bar I'm finding anywhere not on extreme back order. Specs look decent, and it should be nice on a wide 3 x 3 rack with the big collar. Anyway, I'd love to hear your impressions in terms of positive/negative. Thanks.

Any update on the iron cowboy bar? I’m thinking about purchasing because it should come in a lot quicker than a Texas power bar. I currently have the rogue Ohio Power bar black zinc and not a fan. I had the bare steel before this one and it was way better.

I had the rogue .was decent after about 7 months of having it the knurl just wasn’t there almost like it faded away. I am thinking on buying the Texas or elite original power bars. They say the Texas is sharper & will last longer than rogue.
