BalanceFrom Rubber Hex Dumbbells, 30 lbs Pair, Black

I had been looking to buy a new set of dumbbells but right now it seems a lot are going for close to $2 per pound. My local Walmart had an identical set but they were $72 each, the cheapest ones Amazon sells are $54 each. I found these sold as a pair which was exactly what I was looking for. They are the lowest price for 2 40lb dumbbells and on top of that are free shipping (which isn't cheap for this much weight) so that sealed the deal for me. They came in 2 days from FedEx, were well packaged in 2 cardboard boxes with metal staples. The box was fairly sturdy and wasn't ripped or busted anywhere. The weights are encased in foam padding and arrived in perfect shape. They do smell like a very strong rubber for about a week but then it significantly weakens but you can still smell them while you're using them. My main complaint was, as others mentioned, that they can leave behind black residue on your hands or clothes as they have a slight oily film on them. I first tried wiping them off with degreaser which slightly helped but I had to repeatedly rub them with a dry microfiber towel until it stopped turning black to get the weights to where they wouldn't keep leaving black marks on anything they brushed against. I found the knurling to be a bit aggressive at this weight, to where it was deeply digging into my skin, so I put a layer of duct tape over the knurling and they're very comfortable now. One dumbbell weighed around 39lbs 7oz and the other was 2 or 3 ounces heavier, so not perfect but I'm not going to complain about them being a half of a pound off. They've been holding up well and I think these are the best dumbbells to get as they're the cheapest, include free shipping, and are well packaged. Just keep in mind you'll likely want a space to let them air out for a while and will need to invest some time into wiping the oily film off the rubber if you don't want them marking your clothes or hands up.

Best set of Dumbbells I ever had. I was previously using 15Lbs Dumbbells and wanted to order 20Lbs. This came with a solid box and ofcourse was super heavy. Best service by Walmart for making the delivery on time. I would definitely recommend this product anytime!
