Good Product at a Fair Price
I used to own a set of the 552s years ago. Then I abandoned the home workout thing and started going to the gym. Now the story is changed and become all too familiar. I tried to hold out for them become available through the actual website, but a year of waiting and working with annoying cheap dumbbells with twist on caps, I had enough. I climb and was hoping that would be enough to get stronger still, I am a very large man, but I think at best you can maintain your strength through something like that. These are great, just like the set of 552s I used to own. They are bigger than I thought they would be, but that is a me problem, I don't know why I expected them to be smaller.
The downside to not being able to get it from Nautilus is that you pay a premium for them on a place like Ebay. They were not cheap, and really ran you about $400 more than you can expect to pay from the manufacturer. The other thing is they don't quite slide into place as easy as the set of 552s used to, but I am also putting some blame to placement of them. Due to our current limited space I have them on the floor. When we get a bigger place I'll get the stand which I think will help.
That said, I am happy with them. They are a great product, and even at the cost they really save you a bundle if you want have between 10 and 90lbs in 5lbs increments. A set of 90lbs alone would probably run you between $200 and $250, plus the cost of shipping.
