Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Bells of Steel EZ Curl Bar is an Olympic curl bar listed at £59.99: 45 inches long, 28 mm shaft, 2-inch mounting holes and 10.2 kg on its own. It comes in at number 7 in our guide to EZ curl bars, and the reason it sits there rather than higher is the same reason it is worth reading about carefully.
The title on the listing says 500 lb. The specification table on that same listing says Weight Capacity Maximum: 300 Pounds. That is a 200 lb gap between two lines of the same page, and it is the largest such gap in this guide. There is a smaller one further down: the bullet gives a 45-inch length, while the dimensions field reads 120L x 5W centimetres — 45 inches is about 114 cm, and 120 cm is about 47 inches. As with every entry here, if you are comparing bars, compare the lowest capacity figure the page states against what you actually lift. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing for this bar; we have not handled it or tested it ourselves.

Questions people ask
How much weight can the Bells of Steel EZ Curl Bar take?
The specification table lists a maximum of 300 Pounds. The title on the same listing says 500 lb, so the two figures do not agree and the lower one is the one to work from.
Is this an Olympic bar?
Yes. The mounting hole diameter is listed as 2 Inches, the Olympic size, and the title calls it an Olympic EZ curl bar.
What is the shaft diameter?
Both the grip size field and the product bullet give 28 mm, so the two agree here.
How long is the bar?
The bullet states a 45-inch length. The dimensions field lists 120L x 5W centimetres, and 45 inches is roughly 114 cm, so the two numbers on the page are not the same.
How much does the bar itself weigh?
Item Weight is listed as 10.2 kg, which one reviewer describes as the ideal weight for an EZ curl bar.
What finish does it have?
The bullet describes a black phosphate shaft finish with nickel-plated sleeves. The specification's finish field just says Nickel.
What is in the package?
The bullet says the package contains the Bells of Steel Olympic EZ Curl bar. Number of Items is 1 and Unit Count is 1.0 count, so no collars or other accessories are listed.
