Hardcastle Black Pull Up and Dip Station Power Tower

Good product which is perfect for a home gym. Easy to assemble and is free standing. Delivered promptly. reasonably sturdy. Didn't take up too much floor space

I suggest sorting out the nuts and bolts into sections first before you do anything else. The instructions were not the best and I found that I had to undo the bolts on the main frame to attach the pull up frame. There is also a piece of frame about 8 inches long that is perfectly sized to slide and fall into the main frame. I had to unscrew one of the legs and turn it upside down to get it out. It took me about 3 hours to finish but with no issues it should take someone else less than an hour. The tower itself is sturdy but is a bit wobbly. I purchased it not because it was cheap but because it could hold my weight. I weigh 95kg and plan to do weighed pull ups and dips so the 120kg limit should be fine. I haven't experienced other more expensive towers so cannot compare but for the price I think it is good value for money.

Good for the price

Instructions weren't the clearest, make sure you don't fully tighten any bolts until all put together, otherwise you will need to keep undoing them!Pull ups and leg raises the sturdiness is good. Dips it can wobble a bit, but honestly not too much of an issue. It will work on your muscle stability. You won't feel it is unsafe.Would definitely recommend this product.

This really is a bargain, I would thoroughly recommend it. Don't be put off by the reviews, not sure why so many people seem to have problems putting it together, took me an hour on my own with an adjustable spanner and some grips. You need to read the instructions of course and separate out and measure your nut and bolt sets to make sure you use the right ones in the right places, but it's not that complicated. Also, who expects to get tools included?? This is heavy duty tubular steel not Ikea flat pack mdf!This is sturdy and feels solid doing pull ups and leg lifts, but does wobble a little doing dips due to the high center of gravity, this is fine though, you just need to take your time and balance yourself properly. Overall very happy with the purchase, that small rigidity issue aside.

Update- your going to need a spanner and another one assembling this, the tricky part is when you put the screw in the nut bolt, you have to hold one end with a spanner and screw the screw with another spanner into the nut bolt by holding both ends, its tricky at first especially at first, the instructions were okay for first part, useless for the second, a fair bit of screwing and unscrewing, trail and error, overalll once i finished it after like 3 hours it was alright, sturdy enough just make sure nuts bolts are tight, im light at 65 kg so it okay anyone any heaver id probs buy a sturdy thicker one, the pull up bar at the top felt abit thin, like if i was packing some serious weight it could cause issue to the bar, but as im light its okay, for what you buy its what you get nothing speacial but does the job , like a said if your a heaver person go for a more sturdy one thicker one.

The second hardcastle product I've bought. This item does as described it does move a little but I suppose it depends how much you jerk on it!

I bought this as an addition the my sons growing home gym and he is over the moon with it... I consider myself handy and I'm also a DIY enthusiast so didn't have a problem putting it together like some other buyers have reported, it was up in around 30 minutes.. Maybe including a couple of spanners would help those people who unlike me don't have a socket set and spanners of their own... It is sturdy in my opinion, I'm 80kg and it holds my weight OK... if you think it wobbles too much - especially if doing pull ups - then work on your technique and don't blame the equipment....
