Increment Step~8–9 lbs (nine steps)

The SQUATZ 70 LB Adjustable Dumbbell Set is a twist-lock, plate-loaded pair designed for home gyms seeking to replace a full rack of fixed weights. Each dumbbell adjusts from 4.5 to 70 lbs in nine steps (4.5, 9, 18, 27, 35, 44, 53, 62, 70 lbs), using a twist-lock mechanism to secure weight plates. The set includes two cradles/stands, 36 plates totaling 140 lbs per pair, and steel construction.

Key traits:

  • Adjustment: Twist-lock collar—moderately fast but requires hand coordination
  • Weight range: 4.5–70 lbs per dumbbell; increment steps average 8–9 lbs (coarser than premium competitors)
  • Build: Steel plates with metal handles; cradle-based storage
  • Footprint: Moderate; cradles add space vs. dial-adjust rivals
  • Fit: Budget-conscious beginners and intermediate lifters; good for progressive overload if large jumps are acceptable

SQUATZ occupies the value tier of the adjustable-dumbbell market, competing against Core Home Fitness and ATIVAFIT rather than category leaders (Bowflex SelectTech, PowerBlock, NÜOBELL). Community reception is mixed—appreciated for cost and capacity, but reports of dial sticking and plate-lock inconsistency have emerged. Warranty is 1 year.
