Is the bar knurled or have some sort of grip pattern cut in?

It is powder coated. No real grip, other than textured paint. Basically it feels like the body of most weight machines. I'd recommend tape on the bar or gloves.

The bar itself is smooth. I wrapped it in first aid style tape to give it grip.

No , no pattern, but the surface quality is outstanding, grip is easy, no "slipping hand effect". I do pull ups easy, without use of any grip powder.

Bar is textured powder coat. Imagine an orange peel with some fine grit sand in it. I would describe it as the perfect blend of grip with no slip without being too abrasive and tearing up my hands. Bar diameter is perfect for my wife and I. The whole family can use this chin up bar. I also like the tactical gray color it looks good mounted to my white ceiling. Our neighbors ordered one after seeing ours. I highly recommend this bar for TRX, Insanity, P90X or Crossfit it allows you to do movements doorway pull up bars restrict you from.

Hello:It appears to be some sort of cheap die-cast material. Very lacking in quality. I would say, spend some more money on Ritchey or Profile bars or buy some used! I used these once and they were ok, but the metal stripped out and I had to fix it with a nut and bolt. You really need to think of the safety issue too and my gut feeling tells me that these are not a bargain at any price!!! You get what you pay for.

If I had this problem, here's what I'd try: Get a pair of bicycle handgrips (from Target or any sporting goods store). Cut the end off each so that they're now hollow tubes. Slice each grip lengthwise so you can slip it over the bar, with the solid part up and the slice down.

The grips are just different spots on the bar that you can hold on to. Moving hand positions changes the exercise. Each position you can place your hand is padded.Hope that helps...

The handle is made of leather, not wood.Most full size and military KaBArs have the leather wrapped grip/handle.

Wow I never noticed that b4. Mine is right handed so maybe the picture was just messed up or they put up the wrong 1but this knife is 1 of the best k nifes I have

The handlebar end will eventually cut the inside of the grip. Look for one that will fit the measurments of your bars.

I haven't received it yet, just placed my order, but from the enlarged photo you can see a knurled knob below the handle (away from the cutting head) that looks like it'll enable you to move the entire handle and cutting assembly somewhat so that the cutting depth IS adjustable and NOT fixed. Doesn't look like it'll cut too deep, but it is adjustable.

The grip handle is a plastic rectangle. It is attached to the main beam with a single pin pivot. The plastic rectangle inside dimensions are larger than the beam, so if you are not applying force at the proper distance then the plastic rectange handle will rock to the side. If the plastic handle "floats" around the beam then force is being applied at the correct distance. This is a well made beam-style wrench, still made in USA.

The angle of the picture makes the grooves in the bar look sharp. The shape of the bar is like other EZ curl bars. The two things that I do not like about this bar are the cramped dimensions and the knurled grip dose not cover the entire bar like other high quality EZ curl bars. It is a good bar to have around.

Yes you will have to trim the end of the bars a little. Heated grips are shorter

The grooves are symmetrical on both sides of the handle. I like the feel, but they are prominent, so it may be a personal thing. The grooves are below scale level and taper towards the blade. The Pocket clip does NOT seem to be reversible for lefties, if that is a concern.

I find that the knurling on the handles is actually very good. It's much rougher than the knurling on my barbell, which surprised me. A couple of reviewers actually said it was too rough. Overall, feeling like my grip was slipping has never been an issue.

You might find the length of the bar ends to be a little bit on the short side. Personally I have medium hands and have the small grip. The bar ends seemed small at first, but now I love them as they are just big enough for my needs. These are the most comfortable grips that I have ever used.

Yes. There is one bolt that you remove. It has a nice plastic head to grip. And then the bar comes off.

Did not have that problem, yours maybe defective, or a different type of bar.

There's handles that are raised on one side. You can easily turn it over for the handles that's are level with the bar.
