Lightweight & Portable
Each Zip Clip is made from ABS or PLA plastic, giving it an ultra-lightweight design. Weighing in at just 90g/0.2lbs per clip, they're even lighter than your bench press max. Oops, autocorrect! We meant lighter than spring collars.

Built for Speed
Whether you choose the Axle Zip Clips for 1.9" tubing or Barbell Zip Clips for 2" Olympic sleeves, using these suckers is as fast as that over-zealous cashier at the grocery store.

Easy On, Easy Off
Unlike spring collars, Zip Clips will work no matter which side of the clip is placed on the bar first. Just pinch the two tabs on the top to easily put them on or remove them.
Product Details
Made in-house at our Calgary warehouse, these patent-pending barbell clips are truly unique. They are created using our own 3D printer using ABS or PLA plastic filament, which are comparable in terms of durability.
These are designed for SPEED with easy on, easy off: just pinch the tabs and slide them on or off your tubing or barbells. The pressure-cuff design keeps your weight plates secure without scuffing up your equipment. Ideal for training alone as the pressure is strong enough to keep your plates in place, but loose enough to be able to dump plates if you need in a sticky situation.
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of your Zip Clips, we recommend NOT storing them on your barbell in between workouts. This will help them maintain their pressure-cuff tightness for as long as possible. We also advise against using them on loadable dumbbells which require extra strong clamping and instead to use our magnetic bar clamps.
Choose the option that suits your needs:
- Barbell Zip Clips only fit 2" barbell sleeves
- Axle Zip Clips only fit 1.9" tubing.

- DNDavid N.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoStrong clamps
They work very well. They work similarly to have spring clamps work. You pinch the two pieces to "open" them and they slide on. I just wish they opened a little more.
Bells of Steel CanadaHi David,
Thank you for your review of our axle collars today. We are glad these have been an asset to you and your training. We hope you continue to enjoy using them and we wish you the best!
Yours in strength,
Marcus & the BoS team
- JCJohn C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars2 years agoFor the price, they work
Very cheaply made, 3d printed... But I mean, they're only $25. And they fit my axle, which is the important part! Could probably buy 3 sets of these for the cost of other axle clips. Would def. recommend if you're on a budget.
Bells of Steel CanadaHi John,
Thank you for your review of our axle collars. We have to agree these are great for the price and fit an axle bar snuggly ! Hope you continue to love using them.
Sincerely,
Marcus & the BoS team
- RHrobert h.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars5 days agoBarbell Zip Clips
The Barbell Zip Clips are 3D printed and don't have much grab and holding power. I bought them to hold plates on a piece of exercise equipment. They are fine for that, but I would not use them on a barbell or curling bar. The cost is low, so the value is very high, as long as you are using these for an appropriate application.
I am happy with these for my application.
Bells of Steel Canada3 minutes agoThanks for sharing your experience, Robert! We're glad the Barbell Zip Clips are working well for your specific application. It’s true they’re more suited for lighter tasks, but we're thrilled they're providing great value on your exercise equipment. Always good to know the right tool for the right job, right?

These seem to be a well made product. They work great and I would buy again.
- RCRyan C.Rated 3 out of 5 stars3 months agoGreat price, but weak long-term usability
These were the first barbell clips I purchased (now have the magnetic clamp collars) and had to replace them as their ability to hold weight after about a year or so is minimal at best.
I love the idea of the 3d printed clamps and the price point, but I do regret purchasing these for long term use. That being said, they did fit my barbell and EZ bar without issue.
