The perfect multi-use bar for powerlifting & Olympic weightlifting.

Shaft + Sleeves: Black Zinc Shaft + Bright Zinc Sleeves

Product Features

  • MULTI-PURPOSE ALL-STAR

    This Olympic barbell is an all-around solution for bench press, squats, deadlifts, and the Olympic lifts (cleans, jerks, and snatches). Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and everything in between, this bar will rise to the challenge.

  • RELIABLE & ECONOMICAL

    They say a quality barbell is worth it's weight in gold, and the Utiity Bar doesn't disappoint! Priced economically while boasting a 1,000-pound capacity, it'll become the cornerstone of your home gym for years to come.

  • BLACK ZINC OR CERAKOTE

    The black zinc finish protects from rust and corrosion while offering a sleek and stylish look. But if you love the latest tech and bold colours, Cerakote is the way to go.

Product Details


As a generalist bar, The Utility Bar is designed for people who don't adhere to a particular strength sport and just love an excellent bar.

With a 28.5mm diameter, it's just a tad thicker than an Olympic weightlifting bar (28mm diameter) and a smidge thinner than a powerlifting bar (29mm diameter). Brass bushings and no bearings make for a smooth rotation and an ultra-secure snap ring is used to keep it all together.

A medium-light knurl won't chew your hands up when power cleaning, but complemented with knurling in the middle means the bar has a better grip when squatting. Featuring both weightlifting and powerlifting marks, hand positioning is made easy for whatever movement you're doing that day. Lightly ribbed sleeves help keep your plates from shifting during your workouts.


IMPORTANT: For cerakote-coated barbells, added care should be used to avoid abrasive metal-to-metal contact. Tight-fitting collars, weight plates, un-lined landmine attachments and j-cups, etc - these can potentially cut into or wear off the cerakote finish. Taking these extra precautions will preserve that beautiful rust-resistant finish for years to come!

    Utility Barbell for my home gym

    So far I love this barbell. It feels great, the knurling is perfect, diameter is perfect, and design overall is phenomenal. My only complaint is that one side isn't lubricated enough and makes a screeching noise when the barbell rotates.

    Hi Anthony, Thank you for reviewing our rack today. We are so pleased to hear you have had a positive experience buying from us. I am sorry to hear about the lubrication problem and screeching noise when the barbell rotates. I will reach out to you shortly to see if there is anything we can do about that. Thank you again & we hope we can serve you again soon. Sincerely, Marcus & the BoS team

    Great Value

    Been using this bar for a few weeks now and have enjoyed it. The knurling is very passive and it works nicely as an alternative to my more expensive power bar with a very aggressive knurling. Speaking of which, the quality difference vs my more expensive bar is not huge but the price of this utility bar is much lower. Will be buying more from BoS in the future I’m sure!
