I purchased the Fringe Sport Hex Bar close to a month ago. The way it was delivered to me by the shipping company could be described as it was used on a WWE wrestling match. As matter a fact there was shoeprints on what was left over of the box. I was expecting the worst when I saw the condition of the box. I contacted Fringe Sport about the delivery issue, and just as I thought I most likely will not hear from them for at least 24 hours they replied back to me within 10 minutes. I send them all the information of the shipping tags and pictures as it was received. And I also told them that I was going to take a look at the bar before proceeding to return it. When I peeled the leftover box from the bar and spend an hour inspecting it, I was impressed. There was not a single sign of damage on it. It survived the shipping punishment. So, I decided to keep it. This is a very well-made hex bar. I could say that the person(s) in charge of manufacturing the bar I received was or were highly skilled. I am very pleased with the product. It is worth its value. I also ordered the 45lbs Savage plates to use them with the bar. Those plates are sick, and I mean that in a good way. I will be looking forward to getting more of those plates in the near future.
