Ainfox Power Tower, Capacity 550 Lbs Pull Up Bar Tower Dip Stands Fitness Gym Office

Dips - When I do dips, there is no rocking or flexing of the Power Tower. It feels really solid. I've been trying to find a way to work all three heads of the triceps and those dips deliver such a nice pump.Vertical Knee Raise - The handles are a bit too close to my torso for me to use. When I use the handles, my body is pushed too high for the back cushion to support me. I've found a way to modify the exercise so that it works nicely.Pull Up and Chin Up bars - I use the tallest setting for the bar and that lets the chin/pull up bar travel forwards and backwards a little bit but once I put my weight on it, it's solid. I'm too tall to freely hang from the pull/chin up bar so bending my knees is a must.Assembly - all of the nuts, bolts, and washers come packaged and labeled nicely so that made assembly a lot simpler. The only advice I would give is that you have a socket set on hand for assembly. I'm sure that the included tools allow you to assemble the unit but after using the included tools (the two "wrenches") on a handful of bolts I realized assembly was going to take hours and I was concerned for my knuckles after a few slips of the wrench.Safety - it is very important to position the unit on a level flat surface. I have not put any sandbags or other weights on top of my Power Tower yet and I don't see a need to now that it's on a level flat surface.Capacity - If I ever get to the point where I need to wear weights when doing dips, I will be glad that this Power Tower handles 550 pounds.Delivery - The product actually arrived a day early and in excellent condition.Oily Smell - I've heard a few people mention an oily smell. I can confirm that it smells oily but it's only mildly annoying when I sniff my hands after using the Power Tower. I keep it in my two-car garage and it does not stink up the garage. For all of the people who were bothered by the oily smell, I hope that the smell dissipates over time.If I weren't so tall and heavy, I would give the product 4 stars for the few height/weight related shortcomings I mentioned above, but as someone in the 99th percentile for height and 90-something percentile for weight, I want to be fair to this fine product (with a great price).

In assembling this product, I noticed the screws for the bottom support bar are too small for the nuts, you can slide the nuts completely passed the threads with ease, thus you are not able to tighten this part, which supports the legs. I'm hoping I can get a hold of the seller to resolve this issue, as I still have high hopes for this product. Without resolving this, you cannot assemble the unit, as this part holds everything together safely. there needs to be larger screw threads or smaller nuts to tighten this unit.OK, here is an update to my issue: I received a reply from Ainfox, the company that manufactured this product. They had mistakes in their installation document (mislabeled items, wrong bolts listed for certain steps), and an email from the company corrected this, and I was able to put the tower together and get it constructed. In my instructions (which may still be out there in new deliveries) was using the long skinny bolts (dd) in the second step of installing the support bar, where you are supposed to use the thicker, shorter fully threaded bolt (ee). After that, and a mislabeling of washers (called filler pieces in the instructions) and nuts, which was obvious, the install went fine. Just make sure to get the leg pieces installed in the right direction (short end to the back), the tower pieces with the handle holes to the outside, and wait to install the pull-up bar until you get the back support in place (otherwise its too tight to get the back support screw holes lined up), and you should be good to go. It is still a bit wobbly, but not too bad, I don't think, with caution, it will cause an issue.

I've been using the Ainfox Power Tower for about 3 weeks now. I purchased it because of the weight capacity. I'm about 220 pound and can do 12 reps on the dip bar. I have to use about 25-30 pounds of weight to hold the back ends of the tower to keep it from moving/wobbling--so about 50-60 pounds of weight holding it down--in which it barely wobbles. The Ainfox Power Tower doesn't wobble much when doing pullups, which I would say it feels pretty stable and sturdy when I currently do my max of 8 reps. I fixed the height of the pullup bar so I can reach the bar with standing, just in case the pullup bar does give way.As for putting it together, the instructions with the bolts were a bit off. For example, the instructions would say use a certain letter bolt, but it doesn't match with the instruction shown. So I would just go by what I saw instead of the the instructions wanted. With that being mentioned, it was fairly easy to assemble with 2 people, even with the instructions not being precise.All in all, I think it was a good purchase for me.
