What is a barbell clip?
Barbell clips, also known as barbell clamps, barbell collars, and many other names, are accessories used in weightlifting to secure weight plates onto a barbell.
Barbell clamps prevent the plates from sliding off the bar during exercises, ensuring safety and stability.
These lockable bar clips come in various designs but typically have a circular clamp or clip that tightens around the barbell sleeve.
Some common types include spring collars, locking collars, and screw collars.
Spring collars have a spring-loaded mechanism that expands and contracts to grip the bar. Locking collars feature a latch or clip that secures the collar in place.
Screw collars have a threaded design that allows them to be tightened onto the bar.
They are commonly made from durable materials like steel, aluminum, or high-strength plastic to withstand the rigors of weightlifting.
