Magnetic Donut Weights (5 lb. Set) : Weight Plates : Sports & Outdoors Review: Great option to save space and money - These are a great way to expand your dumbbell set cheaply. Firstly, these will not stick to neoprene coated dumbbells. They are also too big for anything less than 20lbs. Right now I’ve got 5’s, 10’s, 15’s and 20’s. After the 20’s I only have 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, etc etc and it’s so nice since I have a small space. They stick really well and are easy to put on and not that hard to get off. You can pull them off with a decent amount of force but they won’t come off so easy if you were to shake the weight or something. I’ve dropped my dumbbells with magnets on the either side for a while and they have yet to crack or break. Definitely great functionality and are easy to use. I kind of wish 5lbs were made so you could stick 5lbs on one side and 2.5lbs on the other for a 3/4 increment, but I may try the ones that clamp to the handle. I didn’t buy those because I heard they don’t stick well and pinch your hand. Review: Exactly what I was looking for - These PlateMate Microload weights complement and complete my Snode AD80 adjustable dumbbells as if it was made from the same factory. It almost fits perfectly on the ends of the dumbbell. The rubber-coated and adequately magnetized 2.5 to 5 lb weight increments per dumbbell are perfect to fill the 10lb gap. This makes the dumbbells suitable for exercises that require finer increments of weight adjustment, such as arm curls. Adding the weights is as easy as placing them on the ends of the dumbbells, and the magnet will do the rest, and just yank them off to take them off. Snade makes magnetic add-on weights, but they protrude too much, potentially interfering with some exercises, and they're not rubber-coated, which over time will chip away the weight's coating. Sure, the PlateMates come with a premium price, but you would be hard-pressed to find a better quality product. ## Features - Includes (2) Donut Shaped Magnetic Add-On Weights, 2.5 lbs each (5 lbs total for pair) - Microloading with PlateMate is the safe, scientific way to build strength at beginning, intermediate and advanced exercise levels. - Attached to each end of a dumbbell, the 2.5 lb donut allows for 5 lb increments eliminating the need to buy every other pair of dumbbells. Which also saves you space. - These patented design magnetic add-on weights attach quickly and easily to ends of any iron dumbbells, cast iron plates, and stack weight machine plates. Dumbbell NOT Included. - These units will not fit around an Olympic Barbell . The hole is only intended to fit around the bolt of a Pro-Style Dumbbell. Will not magnetically stick properly to surfaces coated with rubber, urethane, neoprene, vinyl. - Ideal for saving money & space. Our 2.5 lb Donut allows for the same benefit of owning a full rack of steel dumbbells for half the price. - Do NOT use donuts on 20 lb dumbbells or smaller. Intended for use with 25 lb dumbbells and higher. It is important to make sure your dumbbells are large enough to fit the 4"x4" magnetic surface area. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000W00KY4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #42,714 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #179 in Exercise & Fitness Dumbbells | | Brand | PlateMate | | Brand Name | PlateMate | | Color | Black, Berry, Charcoal, Green, Orange, Red, Silver, Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 404 Reviews | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Manufacturer | PlateMate | | Material | Iron | | Model Number | 2.5-DONUT | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 2.5-DONUT | | UPC | 799916878130 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | ## Product Details - **Item Weight:** 0.5 Pounds - **Material:** Iron - **Brand:** PlateMate - **Color:** Black, Berry, Charcoal, Green, Orange, Red, Silver, Yellow - **Manufacturer:** PlateMate ## Images ![Microload Pair 2 1/2 lb. Magnetic Donut Weights (5 lb. Set) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HR0jTsCbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this one 2.5# plate or a pair of 2.5# plates?** A: It is two 2.5 plate mates to make it a total of 5 pounds. Great product highly recommend especially if you have dumb bells. **Q: Can these magnetic weights be stacked on each other?** A: Hi, Thank you for your question. It is not recommended to stack the weights while in use. **Q: Is each donut 2.5lbs maki g the pair 5lbs?** A: Good question - I had the same though when I purchased the donuts. Especially when the shipping weight is listed as 4.8 pounds. However, each donut IS 2.5 pounds, so the pair weighs 5 pounds. BTW, they are really nice, strong magnets. In fact, you may want to leave a portion of the donut off of the object to which you attach it. **Q: How do you take them off? Pull, slide, or doesnt matter** A: Pull or peel, I don't slide, usually. The inside diameter doesn't fit over standard olympic bar. I use them on non-coated hex dumbbells. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great option to save space and money *by A***X on October 12, 2024* These are a great way to expand your dumbbell set cheaply.

Not completely flush....have fun getting those off just on the aspect of the magnet being strong AF. I sold those and got these guys that I put on the bottom of my Powerblock dumbbells. The way the Powerblocks work is you can't get to increments of 12.5, 22.5, 32.5, etc. all the way up to 92.5. These magnetic donuts allow you to get to those missing increments. Then if you really want to get at the 1.25 micro increments....you could buy 2 of the 1.25lbs. magnetic donuts and put those on the side or end of your dumbbells. Of course your big question is: Are the strong and safe on the bottom of the dumbbells. Well, I'm glad you asked. They are LOCKED on there like they're glued there. I tried as hard as I could to jerk them off there and to break that magnetic bond....wasn't happening. Those are as safe on there as you are in your mama's arms. So no worries there. Are they cheap? No....and you could make your own to be sure....but buy nice or buy twice. Aka buy once cry once. The magnets are ridiculously strong and the rubberized coating is very nice, grippy, looks and feels great. Can't say enough good things about these guys if you have a legit use for them and you know you're going to use them. We'll all be long gone and these things will still be holding on. Avoid radiation, breakage, heavy abuse and of course any type of liquid ingress....and your magnets will literally last for millions of uses. ## Frequently Bought Together - PlateMate Microload Pair 2 1/2 lb.
