Does anyone know what these are made from? ...or which model they correspond to on the PowerBlock website?! Thanks

These are the classic 45s. They are not expandable per Powerblock. I enjoy mine.

Mine are the "Classic 50 Power Block." The weights/plates are painted metal, and the body/handle is plastic. I purchased them a year and a half ago.

I purchased this set about two years ago. I referenced the website, and I don't see a current corresponding model. The plates are made of metal (I'm not sure which type). Overall, I'm very happy with them. They are perfect for home use.

If you hook them up correctly they work fine with power locks. I had no issues when I installed mine

No. These were made by some 3rd party, but they work great. We had no issues with them at all.

Wow really!? Mine were just as advertised, heavy, very well made. Sorry for your experience have your contacted the vendor? That would be my next step. Hope this helps.

I believe that Elite 90 Powerblocks are made in the USA, and are powder coated, U-90 Powerblocks are made in China and are urethane coated. I have the Elite 90 Powerblocks and they do initially flake, but that becomes less of an issue. The most important concern in whatever you buy will be the accuracy of the weights. Good quality weights will be +/- 1%. Average quality weights will be +/- 5%. My Powerblock weights average out at about +/-1%. I cannot talk to the U-90 version. You might want to contact Powerblock for product info.

I'm not sure but power block has always answered my questions. If you don't get what you need from amazon try them.

Our blocks look exactly like what you see on the front of the box. You can see video of them at the website. http://www.goldieblox.com

I would get a different style. The blocks are good but the u bolts are literally garbage. Had to order different u bolts after these strippedand bowed.

WhitneyRead more reviews about power mats. I cannot remember why but i did not end up buying one because of poor quality. Think about it. Does anyone you know own one? Be thorough Whitney :)

Yes - that's how they are designed with a bit of work. Mine had loose wire connectors at the end of each run to link up the next, so you would need to buy plug connectors similar to the ones that run from the power block at the originating end.

Your better off calling Powerblock directly. I did and they answered a similar question for me.

by electricty. replace power cord as needed. My husband and I don't suggest buying these. These are not worth the money we paid. They keep breaking and Amazon isn't helping us with them.

The photo looks like the ones I have installed. I just had to order a mechanical stop, which I seem to have misplaced. I haven't seen an alternative to the part listed. Good luck.

Go to power stop web site figure out exact part num. then order same with Amazon . Send wrong ones back.

I'm not sure if they ship with the new block. I would assume they do since they were having problems with the blocks and that is likely what they make now. The blocks were different from the first set I got with the spinning machine and then the parade float so I think they were trying to fix the problem before. I hope this helps. You may even want to contact them from their site to ask as well but like I said my assumption is they have changed the block in general and that is what they use now. I would hope anyway:)

To be honest with you they are very cheaply made and half did not work. I would not recommend them to anyone. Sorry hope this helps.
