Powerbar Wall Mounted pull up chin up bar Rock solid frame holds up to 200Kg

Love love love this. My wife bought it for me as a surprise and it's absolutely brilliant. Fantastic value, comes with clear instructions - took me about 25 mins to put up. Just make sure you have a decent hammer drill with 8mm masonry bit. Other people mentioned the fixings were poor - the company have altered these and they are now very strong bolts with decent plugs. The bar is fantastic and does the job well. Can't believe it is such good value for money. Offers excellent clearance from the wall and feels very sturdy.

When I ordered the chin up bar I was a little sceptical as some other reviewers of more expensive products were stating that they had had problems. This bar was easy to put up, I did have to use one of my own screws though as I overtightened one and it snapped - my fault as the instructions do tell you not to do that. But being a British man I knew better than to follow perfectly descripted instructions. Anyway, the bar is up in my garage and works superbly, there seems no issues with weight as it is bolted to the wall multiple times. Great buy.

I bought this to help train for Tough Mudder.I had looked at a door frame bar but they seem to mark the wall and door frame and I wanted something I could leave in place rather than being sat in the back of a cupboard most of the time.Very simple assembly. Despite being pretty inept at all things DIY and only having use of a cordless drill I managed to install this on my breeze block garage wall without any trouble.It feels very sturdy to use - no creaking or bending.The bar is a good distance from the wall.All in all, I'm very pleased with this product.

I do a lot of pullups. Really a lot if pullups. Calisthenics Bar-barians style is my thing. I bought this to put on the side of my house so I could work out when I can't get to the park. For what you pay I can say it's pretty good. A few things to be aware of: (1) it's quite narrow so the space between the supports is 44.5cm (about shoulder width) then you've got just about a hand width of straight bar on the other side if the support before it dips away. This is all ok for just basic reps but it's not as wide as you'd want for doing a full range of moves. That said the supports are really strong and you could swap out the bar with something longer and a bit fatter fairly easily. Something I'm thinking about doing. (2) the bar is really thin. If you are used to a chunky bar it takes a bit of getting used to. I managed a slow muscle up on it but the narrowness puts quite a bit of oressure on your hands and makes a false grip hard to do. Don't think about doing muscle ups on it if you need to kip as you will smash your knees into the wall! Having said that you get a good 53cm of clearance from the wall which feels good. Nothing worse than a bar that makes you feel as if you could bump the wall. I'm quite flexible so I can do a German hang without touching my toes as I go over but my head touches the wall (just) if I try a front lever so that gives you an idea of the clearance. (3) The fixings. A lot of people have written about this issue and the sellers have said that they have changed to supplying heavier duty bolts. In my opinion these are still not adequate. Since I wanted to use my bar with my hang-up boots there's no way I would trust the fixings supplied if I'm hanging upside down. So I've fixed mine up using M6x10mm Heavy Duty Wallbolts. If you want to use anything bigger you'll have to drill out the holes on the fixing plates. 8 bolts cost me about £8. You also need a 12mm masonry drill bit if you don't have one. In all I spent about £12. With these bolts it's absolutely rock solid and I feel totally safe repping out or hanging upside down or doing toe to bar leg raises or Germans. A word of warning when fixing to brick work - make sure you check the position of all the fixing points before you start drilling so you don't end up having to fix into mortar or drill into the edge of a brick. You want to make sure that all the bolts are going into the centre of a brick for maximum safety. (4) I put mine up myself without too much difficulty but finding the right position on the wall before you drill would definitely be easier with some help.Basically I thoroughly recommend it for what it is and the fixing issues aside would give it 5 stars.

I'm extremely happy with this, when attached to a brick wall it is very secure and the bars length is perfect. I feel like the rawl plugs provided weren't adequate so I used some I had kicking around, however the screws were fine. Had to use a masonry drill for the holes of course which could be a bit of a mission trying to find a neighbour who owns one if you dont.I put this up indoors and it is doable; Being 6'2 with long arms i debated whether putting up inside would work but it did and I have no complaints.

A great lightweight and affordable pull up bar. Great for people just starting out with pull-ups.It takes my weight, 105kg, and doesn't flex so it's pretty robust for such a lightweight frame.I would have rated it higher but it's a little narrow for me. Will have to see how it holds up with use. I feel I may have to tighten all the bolts on a monthly basis.

This is good. Easy to assemble (minutes) and put up, does what it says on the tin, no trouble at all. Good value too. Some reviewers said the fixings supplied are insubstantial and the company upgraded these. Those supplied with mine are perfectly up to the job, the screws (10mm bolt head) are straight into some braced softwood, no plugs, indoors. I weigh just over 70Kgs and I do daily pull ups, nothing fancy and it isn't going to move. There's plenty of room if you keep your body straight and avoid bringing your knees up (as you should). If you're bigger and heavier and you want to swing around, you'll need to pay attention to what you fix into. In that sort of case, some said they'd used anchor bolts into masonry and I'd do the same. The advice to measure and make sure that you fix into the centre of bricks is good. I wouldn't put this onto breeze blocks or a stud wall. It looks decently weatherproofed for outdoors but you could always put a dab of Hammerite metal paint on the bolts and screws to make sure.In use? It's painful but you get the benefits very quickly without absolutely killing yourself. You don't need to do hours of it unless you're looking for the body-beautiful. If you just want to raise your heart rate a few times a day, you soon notice it.
