1 / 7CAP OBIS-47B-3 47-Inch Olympic EZ Curl Bar
The CAP OBIS-47B-3 is a 47-inch EZ curl bar listed with a 200-pound weight limit and features intended for arm-focused training. Its angled profile, knurled grip and rotating sleeves suit buyers seeking a curl bar for compatible Olympic plates, but the listing conflicts on material and sleeve length, so verify those details before buying.
At a glance
- Angled EZ profile is described for curls, extensions and other arm exercises.
- Feature text claims revolving sleeves that rotate independently from the shaft.
- The feature description says sleeves fit 2-inch Olympic plates and compatible collars.
- Listing details give a 200-pound maximum weight limit.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are contradictory or inconsistent: the title and feature text describe solid steel, while the technical material field says Aluminum. Sleeve length is listed as 7.5 inches in details but 6.5-inch loadable sleeves on each side in feature text. Confirm material and usable sleeve length for the selected listing. The stated 200-pound limit is a listing claim, not an independently verified rating.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Home-gym users adding an EZ-style bar for curls, extensions and other arm exercises.
- Buyers with 2-inch Olympic plates who want a bar listed with a 200-pound limit.
Less suited to
- Lifters who need a confirmed solid-steel construction or verified sleeve dimensions before purchase.
- Anyone whose planned loading exceeds the listed 200-pound limit.

Customer feedback describes the bar as well-made, with a textured grip, useful home-gym versatility and a favorable appearance. The same feedback reports loud squeaking and dissatisfaction with the bend angles. Those comments matter for curl-focused use: the knurling and angled design are central to handling, while sleeve rotation and preferred hand positions may affect day-to-day satisfaction. The rating distribution is mostly five-star but includes lower ratings, so it does not establish that every buyer will have the same experience.
Positive themes
- Customers praise the perceived build quality, grip texture, versatility and appearance.
Negative themes
- Customers report loud squeaking and poor bend angles.
Frequently asked questions
What plates does the listing say this bar fits?
The feature text says it has 2-inch Olympic sleeves for standard Olympic plates and compatible collars.
What is the listed weight limit?
The details list a 200-pound limit. Treat that as the listing's claim rather than an independently verified rating.
Is the bar steel or aluminum?
The title and feature text claim solid steel construction, but the technical material field lists Aluminum. Confirm the material with the selected listing before buying.
How long are the sleeves?
Details list 7.5 inches, while feature text specifies 6.5-inch loadable sleeves on each side. The listing does not resolve the discrepancy.
