Product Summary
There's little doubt that if price isn't factored in, the Kabuki Transformer Bar is the best safety squat bar on the market. However, when the high price is considered, the bar becomes less attractive. We love that you can adjust the angle of the sleeves and use it often, however, if you don't plan on using the feature, we don't suggest the bar. If you like nice things and expect a high level of quality, this is about as good a safety squat bar as can be made.
