Q: How long are the handles?
A: The handles come out 22 inches from the bar center

A: They are welded.
Q: What is the distance between the two handles? Any idea when these will be available again. Thanks
A: The distance between the two handles is 12 inches. There is a 1-2 week lead time.
Q: What is the distance collar to collar please?
A: The distance between the inside of each bracket is 51 inches

It took awhile to write this review because I wanted to try each setting multiple times and have friends use it also. This bar eliminates knee and shoulder pain. I’ve had 3 shoulder/2 bicep surgeries and a bum knee. Using the Transformer bar it’s given me squats back comfortably and easy. The settings are awesome. It’s deceiving as well because you don’t need a lot of weight and it’s easy to change. I absolutely love my transformer bar and it was worth every penny!
I was a proud owner of the original Transformer Bar , the versatility from changing load across all settings was so handy. I saw great utility having this bar in the studio for all clients. What I really appreciate about this bar was the handles in front for all my clients who lacked the mobility to maintain a BB on their back thus taking a step back from having load placed on top of them from a free weight perspective. I cant wait to upgrade to the new updated version !
This bar is amazing. Absolutely worth the wait (lucky for new buyers, the wait is much less than it was last year!). It's just a genius invention. I love all of the positions it allows for, and look forward to using it every week. The quality is top notch. Couldn't recommend more.
I purchased the blemish version for the transformer bar and couldn't be happier. It's comfortable, versatile, and built with amazing quality. I highly recommend!
Being using an SSB for a while. Decided to purchase Transfomer bar, after seeing great reviews. But didn't expect how absolutely fantastic this bar is when training with it. So pleased I purchase it. I had one inquiry, regarding the bar, and my inquiry was replied to me promply and professionally. Great customer service. Can't speak highly enough about the quality and functionality of this bar. Absolute genius. Again all praise to all at Kabuki strength
