Trulap 92lbs Adjustable Dumbbells - Better Than Nuobell and Snode?

Today we take a (my) first look at the Trulap 8592 adjustable dumbbells. These have been making the rounds with reviewers, so wanted to share some of my own thoughts.

Who will come up with the worst dumbbell name next?

The weight jumps are not "weird numbers", it's exactly 1.5 kg per click. The ones sold in Europe have a dial showing the weight in kg. The weight of a set of plates is 3kg, but at each odd position, a set of half plates is engaged, resulting in 1.5 kg increase per click, all the way from minimum to maximum. (extra plates are only included on every second click.)

That Shirt 👌🧡
Thanks for the support Brandon.

Just in case anyone is considering nuobells. Mine started to malfunction after a couple small drops. If nuobell determines the damage is consistent with a drop they will not honor the warranty, which is what happened to me.

Good points about the 1) incomplete instructions and 2) 16 bolts that are not all the same. The company directly emailed me the complete instructions upon purchase. Bolts were annoying because the 2 different lengths do matter

You’re an influencer? I thought you were a Gemini...
Thanks for the review. You’re definitely the best, non-annoying review guy. 👍🏽

Hard to see a clear and honest review when things are sent for free. Most speak wonders to please brands and have more free products.
Thank you!

Surprised at all the negative comments - i guess the market for Nuobell style dumbbells is a bit over-saturated - but these look great. Basically a Nuobell with more weight and more increments at just a little higher price - i see them as a solid option.

[petebarnabus]

More aggressive knurling would be nicer... but they do the job well enough so I'm happy

I have these adjustable dumbbells. I bought it in another country under a different name. but I also had Nuobell and I have Ironmaster. These dumbbells from this video are the best!!

[conqueringbarbell]

Looks nice, still love these Ironmaster's I picked up recently, goes up to a pair of 135's too 👍

Great review, Brandon! These seem ok, but I've yet to see this style of dumbbell that I would personally buy for my home gym. I think the cradle is a little off-putting, but also the fact that they are fragile makes them impractical. I mean, you're likely to eventually drop them at some point (whether it's within the warranty window or not). Btw, I probably would've made the same mess unboxing these lol.

[mauricesanchez]

Fyi, there's a crack at the bottom of one of the cradles. @5:03 you can see where the plastic is cracked.

The perfect adjustable DB has yet to be made: slim, heavy (120+), quick adjustment, open handle, droppable, all metal construction, made in the USA.

[xraydelta]

Thanks. Your analysis really helped. I have seen one other video that did a good job of reviewing, but you mentioned some areas that I wasn't aware of and not doing the discount code was good form. Just reinforces why I have watched your videos a number of times over the years.

14:29 These should have been named the Rattleshake Weight

[KevinJonhson-hiwu]

Can you please review the Gen 2 version which are supposed to have some nice improvements most notably more pronounced knurling and improved internal components for less rattling? Unless these are the Gen 2 version. Thanks for the review.

[kingeo]

Solid review. You hit some points (important ones) that others typically dismiss as white noise.
Keep up the good work.

[twistedbarbell]

It's a clean design with the SS - almost industrial. Those increments are a bit weird though and I assume a user would get used to them.

[joseppebatman]

Lots of great adjustable coming out. My wife told me she would get me a pair of whichever ones I wanted for Father’s Day, and man, it was hard to pick. I went with the Iron Masters that go to 120, because they are time tested and heavy. It was between these, the iron masters and the quick change heavy duty Pepin but the Pepin were just too much money.
