    Based on your experience and the caliber of the tower, do you think that with two of these you can build a power rack like the Bells towers?

    The issue with the stack pin is similar to issues the v1 Bells tower had. The stack is just way too close to the cable/chain. I think a lot of these wall mount units don’t include hardware because you may have a concrete wall and need something else, but having a basic common option would make sense.

    • @LukesGarageGym
      @LukesGarageGym  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I heard that! Just odd to me I wonder what they can do to fix! And yeah, maybe just have both there for studs or concrete. Those few issues aside, this piece is still pretty good!

      You could do a chest press or a fly with those handles but with it being one post, it doesn’t feel the same as a chest fly on a two post all in one rack or functional trainer

    • @IRON-PHOENIX
      @IRON-PHOENIX หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The only single stack machine you can do cable flies on properly is the eon fit Omni or you can use a really long bar and attach it. I have a video on my channel showcasing it. Luke does such a great job with all his reviews.

      @IRON-PHOENIX หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ oh okay great to hear Yes, you have to weigh down the back and the front or you can bolt it to the wall, but that’s the same as any other freestanding cable machine especially one without a weight stack
      I’m not sure if you have the newest version. The one I have has been updated a little bit. What did you think of it? I’m surprised most people don’t care much for it.

    • @LukesGarageGym

    • @IRON-PHOENIX
      @IRON-PHOENIX หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ yeah I had an issue with something being cracked in mine a small plastic piece that goes in the trolley, but they replaced that and they gave me extras and a bunch of extra cables too. I totally understand the quality not being as good as some other things, but I’m surprised people buying titan wall towers instead of something the omni. I also hear people saying by the bells of steel and then buy Matthew Porter attachment but then you’re looking at over $2000. You might as well just buy a functional trainer at that point I figure if I get 5-6 years out of this machine and I personally don’t use heavy weights. I’ll be really happy.

    Bells didn't include lag bolts for the wall either. I definitely think they should include the bolts to ensure people get the appropriate strength lag bolt

    Thorough review, thanks. You're right pin issue must be fixed! I wont buy anything else from this company after my experience with their weight horns and j cups. Theres cheap (cap, and yes4all) and then theres really cheap (mikola and others). Avoid really cheap stuff, you get what you pay for. J cups barely are able to hold 28mm bar. What are they toy j cups? Weight horns are plastic like instead of metal. Luckily they are for only my change plates. You're right this brand is not even close to BOS quality.

      Man, sorry you experienced that!! THATS STUPID! Why even sell lol legit could fit your baseball bat on them both 🤣I got one more piece to review for them for a little while now. And like you mentioned, the plastic bro on the weight horns. Alot of these companies now who are more budget do metal. Makes a difference in the product 100%! The bells is an excellent product from what I have seen and tried at home gym con!

      Man, that would drive me nuts! They probably respond to me like twice a week on Instagram but still you should have someone or a few people hired that it’s literally their job to take care of these things because I’m sure they have the money to do that. I have a company that, I’ve done a lot of videos on and literally are ignoring me and it’s just wrong when you are buying or trying to help these companies.

      @ had a problem with the plate loaded cable tower. They responded a couple times, asking for pictures etc. and proof of my order. I gave them what they asked for, then nothing. I said I was going to leave a negative review and they immediately responded saying they would have someone email me within 24 hours. Never got anything. Emailed them again and never heard anything. I fixed the machine myself but I will be selling it off cheap and getting a bells of steel eventually lol
