Bearings built to deal with being dropped a lot rather than for quality of spin. Knurling isn't as sharp so your hands don't get wrecked doing WODs and that. But as far as materials etc it's still the same steel used in the other bars I think.

BigMacca said:Customer service is second to none as wellTotally agree.
A few years back we went to one of the Birmingham events, there was a weightlifting display on the Saturday and a powerlifting one on the Sunday. Pullums were to supply the bars to be used and then would sell them off at a discount as they were technically second hand.

The weightlifters used theirs and then no-one bought it, but we agreed on the Saturday to buy the powerlifting one for £500 on the Sunday. We returned on Sunday to find that the powerlifters had supplied their own bar and hadn't used the Pullum one. To their eternal credit, gentlemen that they are, they honoured their side of the bargain and sold us a new and un-used bar for the agreed price. It's a wonderful thing, whatever the price - get one.this story doesnt feature Eleiko @ 23:26.
Been in the garage gym game for about 7 months now. What inspired me to workout at home initially was my growing family;) and getting to spend more time with them. My wife and I just had twin boys and I love being able to have them outside in the garage with us sometimes. I have purchased most of my equipment second hand, and have bought.
