Olympic Hex Bar 56" Trap Bar vs LuckyNote Olympic Hex Bar

These two bars are near-identical on paper: 56 inches long, 23.6-inch handle spacing, 10-inch sleeves, 1.2mm diamond knurling, dual regular and raised handles, and a 1,000 lb rating. The main split is the steel: the LuckyNote lists cold-rolled stainless steel, while the Olympic bar lists alloy steel, both with a chrome finish. For most home lifters either will do the same job, so pick on handle feel and finish durability rather than specs.

• Choose the Olympic Hex Bar if you want a straightforward dual-handle trap bar with a chrome finish and raised handles for neutral-grip deadlifts and shrugs.
• Choose the LuckyNote if you prefer the cold-rolled stainless steel construction and the same dual-handle layout from a named brand.
