Merax Wall Mounted Pull-Up Bar - Multi-Grip Chin-Up Bar Dip Stand Power Tower Set for Home Gym Strength Training Equipment [Supports 440LBS]

Very solid. I wasn't sure what to expect given the item's pictures, but am very satisfied. The frame is extremely stable with welded corners and diagonal bracing. FYI, it takes a little bit of time and a few wrenches to assemble. I took my time and had it together within 20 minutes (including several trips to the garage to find tools).It comes with 2 sets of hooks (4 total), allowing you to individually chose the height for pull-ups and dips. Make sure to put something more than drywall behind it since the bottom of the frame presses into the wall.

I finally put up my pull-up bar and I love it. Going off of some other posts about putting this up on drywall and not concrete I used the stringer board method. I used multiple 2x12" boards and for fun cut a shallow line in the middle of them to make them look like smaller boards. I then aged them a bit and put them into the studs. For the top two boards I used 3/8" x 5" lag bolts with washers to secure them to the wall. For the bottom two boards I went a little less deep since they're not actually supporting weight. I went with 3/8'x3.5". I also cut a 40degree angle on the boards edges for a little tapering affect.The product itself is strong and well built. The grips are comfortable as well as the pads for dips.

Really love this setup. My wife has wanted a tower for a while but we didn't have the room. Found this and had it up quickly. I read previous reviews and purchased lag screws and some boards for a backstop but had to readjust my plans when I found I had 24 inch studs insted of 16s. I used a 1" board with a 1/2" sistered to the back. The 1/2" has cutouts in the back to provide room for carriage bolts to secure the hooks to the boards then I used 4 1/2" lags screws to attach the board to the studs.The actual construction of the system is really solid and well made. It took about 15 minutes to bolt eveything together. There are no step-by-step instructions included but they provide a blown-out parts diagram that shows bolt type and locations. Pretty intuituve.Using it is really comfortable. Once hooked in it doesn't move at all. Really solid when doing any workout include using straps. Unlike other similar items you don't feel the screws through the arm pads when doing ab work which is awesome. Definitely a lot of pros and can't think of any cons. We love it.

Absolutely love this. With the gyms being closed for the foreseeable future, I immediately jumped on here to find some good workout equipment. A co-worker purchased a power tower, but 1) all the good ones were sold out and 2) I didn’t have the space for it anyway.Enter this. This is actually BETTER for my needs, and—taking inspiration from the other reviewers on here—I made it look quite sexy in my garage if I do say so myself.ONE THING you need to be aware of, though: don’t assemble me the pull-up bar with the bolts going inward as (I think) the manual suggests. They stick out too far and will give you a good cut when you jump up to grab the bar if your grip is too wide. Thankfully, I just nicked my hand, but it would have been a lot worse. I just flipped the bolts around and will probably cover the bolts with Sugru and I’ll be set.I wrapped the pull-up bar with some tennis racket tape I had laying around to lessen the abrasion and it’s been perfect.I also ordered a pulley to hook into the middle of the bar, so I can do face-pulls, tricep pull-downs, etc., and I ordered gymnastics rings to hook to the eyelets for all the rest.All-in-all, super happy with it. Couldn’t have asked for a better setup.[Amazon won't let me add a photo right now...but if/once they do, I'll upload.] For those wondering, I used 2x12’s from Home Depot, cut them in the same way the other reviewer did, and stained them with Varathane Aged Barrel color.

Many of the reviews are spot on if you plan on using it for pull-ups and exercises like that. However, it states you can attach a punching bag, but I do not recommend it. While yeah it does get in the way of pull ups, I just take it down and put it up as needed and it was only a 60lb bag. Problem is the quality of the eye screw used to hold them is very poor. Both have now broken on me over a couple months of use each leaving the screw part within in the bar and the eye piece broken off so I cant even replace them without drilling it out because the holes are plugged. One breaking I can say maybe I got a defective one, but both shows it is really poor quality hardware. Maybe getting better eye hooks at the hardware store will hold a heavy bag better, but I do not recommend this product for that purpose.

The product is very sturdy. Properly mounted, it is a rock. No flexing or any indication that it won't easily carry the weight specs.The product comes with concrete anchors only. So unless you are mounting it to a brick/concrete wall, you will be buying your own anchors. In my case, I was mounting it to a standard 16" on center frame wall. I chose to use a 2'x4' section of 3/4" ply to mount to the studs, then attach the bar hooks with 3" lag bolts to the same studs, through the plyboard.You could probably use thinner plyboard, but I wanted to be sure. I gave this product only 4 stars because I would have liked to have a choice for concrete mounting or non concrete mounting hardware.
