Sports reviews of TKO Doorway Pull up Bar
Customer Review: Box too big.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The pull up bar came fine and was what was expected. Easy to put up and good price. Our only real drawback was that for some reason it is shipped in a HUMONGOUS box. Seriously, the pull up bar is like 2feet long (before extending) and only a few inches thick but it came in a box around 5ft tall and 3 feet square. Seems like a waste of cardboard.Customer Review: Good overall product
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The only issue I have is that it came with no directions, so it took a little bit to get it up. But after I installed it, its been great. Super steady and never spins.Customer Review: Sturdy Bar

The good
- it doesn't roll in the brackets: the bar comes with hexagonal shaped ends, which won't roll around.
- easy to remove off the brackets, for storage.
- it looks good: chrome bar with black foam handles.
The not so good:
- comes with no instructions...
- the screws included are too short for a regular wall (screws are 1'', the drywall is 1/2'', which leaves another 1/2 to reach in wood stud ?). I replaced them with number 8, 2'' long wood screws, and they went just fine.
- the brackets have a poor design: even thought they have locking latches, and the bar's ends are hexagonal, the bar is a little bit loose in the brackets.
- if used in a wider space, the bar slightly bends in the middle. Mine is 42'' wide. They should have used a stronger gauge metal. The fix: place a steel bar inside the bar to enforce it (maybe a rebar from your hardware store, like a 3/4'' rebar)
- the grips are hard to move along the bar. The "fix" is to "roll them up" on the bar, like a shirt's sleeve, and move them to your location on the bar, and then roll them down. Annoying, but works.
Overall:
- no instructions
- short screws
- poor design brackets
- bends in the middle
- foam grips won't move easy
