Collars are for anyone loading a 2-inch Olympic sleeve. They stop a plate walking off during a press or a slightly uneven lift, which is the piece of safety kit most home gyms skip until a plate slides.
Olympic 2-inch Spring Collars are £6.99 a pair: sprung steel, squeeze-and-slide on a 50 mm sleeve. Olympic Barbell Collars 2-inch are lever-locking quick-release, £7.99 for two red or £9.99 for two black, for heavier squats and any lift where the bar takes impact. Bars to put them on are under barbells. Even small collars, and any heavier bar you add, ship with free delivery across Great Britain (Scottish Highlands and Islands included) on every order.
Sleeve size and bar length, and which collars fit a 2-inch Olympic sleeve, are in the barbell guide.
