About this product
A vintage pair of cast iron spring grip dumbbells, each weighing 3 lb. These black antiques are a collector's item rather than a modern workout tool. The spring grip design allows for added forearm engagement during exercises. Sold as a set of two, these are likely from the early 20th century and come at a premium of $95.00.
Our take
As a fan of vintage gym equipment, I was excited to try these antique spring grip dumbbells. They have a unique charm and the spring mechanism does work your forearms differently than standard dumbbells. However, at only 3 lb each, they're strictly for light toning or rehabilitation—not for building strength. The price is steep for the weight, but collectors might appreciate the history. Just don't expect to break a sweat.
