About this product
These Standard 1 inch Cast Iron Weight plates come with a superior Hammertone finish and a wider design for easier loading. The generic brand plates are available at $65.79, offering a durable option for those with 1-inch barbells. The cast iron construction ensures long-lasting use, and the Hammertone finish helps resist chipping and rust. These plates are suitable for home gyms looking to add weight increments for strength training. The wider hub may also provide a more secure fit on standard bars.
Our take
I picked up these 1-inch cast iron plates because I needed something more durable than the plastic-coated ones. The Hammertone finish is a nice touch—it feels textured and seems like it'll hold up against scratches and rust. The wider center hole makes them easier to slide on and off the bar compared to standard plates. At $65.79, they're reasonably priced for a set of iron plates. However, keep in mind these are for 1-inch bars, not Olympic, so make sure your bar is compatible. Also, the wider hub might not fit all weight trees perfectly. Overall, a solid choice if you're building out a standard barbell setup.
