Sports reviews of Valeo Chin-Up Bar
Customer Review: Convenient for home workouts.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I like this bar, but it spins as I do my pull ups, regardless of which side I am hanging. I have adjusted it so tightly that I can hear the frame cracking. Otherwise, it's a good purchase.Customer Review: Worked surprisingly well, very stable

Worked surprisingly well, very stable. Using w/ p90x program and use it everyday almost. very stable during tough use. highly recommendedCustomer Review: It'll work but the screws included are trash
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I just finished installing this bar. Since it seems to fulfill its basic function, this is more of a warning to "buy it, but" rather than a "don't buy it."
I recommend to anyone who buys this bar that they not use the screws included with it to install the mounting brackets. I was being pretty careful but still managed to strip two of the screws and twist the heads off of two others. They're very cheaply made.
You'd figure Valeo would spend the extra 40 cents per unit and give you quality screws, huh? Well, not if they'd have to pass those 40 cents on to cheapskates like me who buy the cheapest thing they can find.
Customer Review: Good for the price
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I'll agree with the other reviewers that this thing is sturdy. I weigh 220 and it holds me with ease. I'll also agree that the placing of the hand grips is bad. The bar extends in one direction, so you end up with a hand grip that is butted right up against the door frame. Yes, you can move the grips. But, 1.) it's a pain, and 2.) your grip will become uneven because the extension pole is smaller in diameter than the stationary pole.
But, for the $$$, it works fine for me. I am planning on putting up a more permanent pullup bar (joist mounted) in my basement, so I won't have to deal with the grip thing much longer.
Customer Review: Bad design
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
The main problem with this bar is that only one end extends, which puts the hand grips toward one side and not in the middle, as with most chin-up bars. Otherwise, easy to install and durable.
