Product Summary
The Quick-Lock Dumbbell system is the latest iteration of Ironmaster’s adjustable dumbbells. The dumbbells can be quickly adjusted in under 15 seconds due to the Ironmaster quick-lock design. The dumbbells adjustable weights range from 5 to 75 pounds. With your purchase of these dumbbells, you also get the stand for no extra charge. These give you a complete set of free weight dumbbells that feel like traditional dumbbells without restrictions, rattling, or safety concerns.
This set includes two handles with four locking screws. Each weight has 24 5-pound plates and 4 2.5-pound plates. Included with purchase is a dumbbell stand.

The dimensions are 6.5 x 6.5 x 14.5 inches at the 75-pound size.

Summary
The Ironmaster Quick-Lock Adjustable Dumbbells are some of the best adjustable dumbbells available. I personally prefer Powerblocks due to how quickly the weight can adjust, however, there are many who prefer Ironmasters and for good reasons. They're the most similar adjustable dumbbell to traditional fixed dumbbells, they have a wide weight increment range, and they're priced very affordably. If you own a home gym and want a set of dumbbells that doesn't take up a ton of space, Ironmasters are a great option.
