Wondering?
Everything else you need to know before deciding. If we haven't answered it here, drop us a line below.
Stealth adjustable dumbbells are not designed to be dropped. The precision adjustment mechanism can be damaged by heavy impact, and this type of damage is not covered under the standard warranty.
For training to failure or heavy lifts, we recommend using them on a rubber mat or gym flooring. If you accidentally drop a dumbbell and something breaks, get in touch. We keep spare parts in UK stock and can usually repair them for a small charge.
If dropping weights is a regular part of your training, such as CrossFit or Olympic lifting, our Rubber Hex Dumbbells are designed for that purpose.
Stealth dumbbells are among the quietest adjustable options available. The Home Edition uses fixed nylon inserts to keep the plates secure with no rattle. The Black Edition features replaceable nylon inserts with the same smooth, quiet performance. The Chrome Edition uses an all-metal pinned construction, which is very quiet at working weights, with a small amount of plate movement at very light loads.
Our Rubber Hex Dumbbells have rubber-encased heads that significantly reduce impact noise compared to coated steel alternatives.
All Stealth adjustable dumbbells come with a 24 month standard warranty covering manufacturing defects, mechanism failure, and finish issues under normal home gym use. The Chrome and Black Editions are eligible for a lifetime warranty upgrade.
The warranty does not cover impact damage, drops, or wear from commercial or studio use unless agreed in advance. Full terms are available on our warranty page.
All claims are handled by our UK team, and most are resolved within one working day.
UK mainland orders placed before 2pm are shipped the same day, with delivery in 1 to 2 working days on our standard service. Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland typically take 2 to 3 working days.
You will receive a tracking link as soon as your order leaves our Cumbria warehouse. For larger rack or accessory shipments, we will contact you to arrange a convenient delivery slot.
Yes. You have 30 days to return them for any reason. The dumbbells must be in unused condition and in their original packaging. Return shipping is at your cost unless the product is faulty.
Most returns are processed within 3 to 5 working days of receipt. Full details are available on our returns policy page.
Yes. Every Stealth adjustable dumbbell arrives fully assembled, calibrated, and ready to use. Lift them out of the box, set the weight, and start training. The storage cradle is also pre-assembled. The only thing you need to do is clear a bit of floor space.
A pair of Stealth adjustable dumbbells replaces an entire rack of fixed dumbbells. The cradle footprint is roughly 40 Γ 30 cm, about the size of a pair of shoes. They fit under a desk, in a wardrobe corner, or next to a bench.
By comparison, a full Hex set typically needs 1.5 m or more of dedicated rack space. If storage is your biggest constraint, any of the three adjustable options will solve it.
The Home and Black Editions are specifically designed for garage and shed use, with condensation resistant coatings that hold up well in cold, damp UK conditions. The Chrome Edition has a high-polish chrome finish that looks great indoors but is more prone to surface spotting in humid environments, so we recommend the Home or Black for garage use.
Our Rubber Hex Dumbbells are suitable for any environment, although the decorative chrome handle may develop some tarnishing over time in very damp conditions.
Yes. We offer finance options at checkout, allowing you to spread the cost over a set number of monthly payments. Available plans and terms will be shown once you reach the payment stage.
Approval is subject to status, and you will receive a decision instantly. If you prefer, you can still pay in full using all major debit or credit cards.
Yes. The Chrome Edition can be upgraded using the same handle, allowing you to increase the weight range without replacing your full setup.
The Home and Black Editions are not upgradable in the same way, so moving to a higher weight range or a different edition would require purchasing a new dumbbell set. If you are unsure, get in touch and we can advise on the best option for your setup.
