Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
This bar would be great if not for one serious design issue: It turns when you're using it. It installs by screwing/unscrewing the outer and inner bar sections, with the idea being, I suppose, that once it's snugly in the door frame it won't turn any more. it will continue turning no matter what, and in fact if you keep unscrewing it (making the bar wider) the sides of the doorframe can be literally be pried apart! Even if the frame doesn't budge, the bar will still rotate because the round ends fit into round support caps, which allow the bar to turn freely with any amount of force. There's no way to lock the bar from turning, regardless of which way you hold it during exercise. It's always either tightening, loosening, or turning in place. Despite otherwise solid construction and comfortable grip, I can only give it 2 stars.Customer Review: Not worth it...

This product seemed great when it came in, but then you realize it is a complete disaster.
Yes, they are movable. But, as has been said before, it is a total pain. And if you do, like has been said, your grip will be all wrong as one side is smaller in diameter than the other. And if you don't move them you will crash into the door frame, thus ruining your form.
It does hold well. However, it wears out really quickly. So, after a few uses you will have to use a wrench to tighten it because the grooves inside the bar, which turn the threaded rod that spreads the thing out, will wear down completely.
The bar, which slides over top of the threaded rod, will actually slip off while you are using it, which is dangerous. I have a nice cut on my arm because of it.
Not recommended at all, junk junk junk.
Customer Review: Dangerous and Inefficient
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I bought this chin-up bar for my college dorm room, trying to buff up a little. The first time I tried it, it fell, as did I. I landed on my upper back and head, blacking out for just under a minute. Luckily, I had a friend in the room who woke me up. Upon waking I had trouble breathing for another minute or so. My friend managed to get air into my lungs and I went to hospital the next day for x-rays. I spent two weeks in and out of hospitals and specialist's offices. Please do not buy this product. It can cause severe damage and internal bleeding due to the fact that it lacks any real measure of sturdiness.
