help REP Equalizer Iron Plates FAQ
How many grip holes do REP Equalizer Iron Plates have?
The USA-made version has six symmetrical, precision-cut grip openings. They make the plates easier to carry and allow a plate to be used by itself for exercises such as raises or loaded carries.
How accurate are REP Equalizer Iron Plates?
REP specifies a weight tolerance of 2% for its USA-made Equalizer iron plates. That is suitable for general strength and powerlifting training but is looser than calibrated competition plates.
Are REP Equalizer Iron Plates made in the United States?
The product explicitly named USA-Made Equalizer Iron Plates is cast and finished in the United States. REP has also sold an earlier original Equalizer version, so secondhand buyers should check the exact model.
What is the difference between Equalizer iron and urethane-coated Equalizer plates?
The iron model has an exposed cast-iron body with an E-coat finish, while the urethane version surrounds its iron core with a protective coating. Urethane is quieter and more resistant to cosmetic damage, but it is generally more expensive.
