Rank #1 in Best Hex Dumbbells 2026: 10 Ranked, Pair or Single
MuscleSquad Rubber Hex Dumbbells Pair, 10kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
MuscleSquad's Rubber Hex Dumbbells sit at number one in this guide as a fixed-weight pair: the listing is named "10kg Dumbbell Pair", filed with a Unit Count of 2.0 count and Number of Items of 2, and priced at £47.99. It carries 4.8 out of 5 from 343 ratings, and the rating breakdown on the listing shows 86 of the 100 ratings as five-star. The heads are rubber, the handle is iron and knurled, and the shape is described as a No-Roll Head.
The numbers on this listing do not all close with each other, and that is worth knowing before you pick a weight. The title spans "1kg–30kg Weights", while a bullet states the pairs "come in 27 different weight options (from 1kg to 50kg)" — two different ceilings from the same page. Separately, the Item Weight field reads 10 kg next to a Number of Items of 2, and the listing never says whether that 10 kg is the pair together or each dumbbell: at 10 kg a pair, each head would be 5 kg, and if 10 kg is per dumbbell the pair weighs 20 kg. One more: a bullet describes a "knurled 33m handle", while the spec table gives a Handle Diameter of 33 millimetres. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as published, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've been really impressed with these MuscleSquad hex dumbbells. They have a premium feel, sturdy, well-balanced, and comfortable to grip even during longer sessions. The hex shape keeps them from rolling around, which is ideal if you're training at home.I like that they're sold in pairs and available in different weights, so it's easy to build up your set gradually. The rubber coating is great too, it protects my floor and helps reduce noise when putting them down.Overall, excellent quality for the price. If you're building a home gym, these are a must-have.”
