 Great bit of kit July 20, 2008
I was given this chinning bar for a birthday present two weeks ago to use whilst travelling with my work. Not sure if it is really suitable for carrying in an overnight case, but great if you don't want to drill/screw a bar into a door frame.
As the other reviewer says very easy to fit and remove in seconds but it did need a socket set and spanner to put together first time round.
Very strange feeling when used for the first time, but after a couple of sessions you get use to trusting the bar to take your weight.
A couple of minor negatives:
1. Only fits standard wall thicknesses. We live in an old house with very thick walls and the bar only works on the stud walls. I guess it would be fine in a modern house though.
2. Secondly all the range of grips is a little limited. It would be nice to have a very wide grip position. The widest on offer is only a little wider than my shoulders.
Overall, great bit of kit.... but it doesn't make the exercise any easier.
 Wrong nuts.. July 15, 2008
Wrong nuts provided. Customer Service in US. Due to send back to amazon asap. Nuts provided were too long meaning that the frame was too loose. Would not recommend as this is a problem that has unfortuantely been found with many of these bars.
no way it can be put together July 3, 2008

Based on the review I read on amazon.co.uk a month ago, I ordered the product. Unfortunately, some of the nuts were wrong types, making it impossible to set it up.
As I was very enthusiastic about this product, I tried to find replacement nuts from local hardware shops. It seems that the nuts provided by Everlast are different from British nuts. Whatever I found did not match the screw.
I even tried to contact Everlast USA but their customer service phone-line went dead whenever I was put through by the person at the switchboard.
I had to send it back to amazon.
I do not recommend this product.

I was a little worried when I ordered this as I've seen mixed reviews over the web. Some people say that it is very difficult to put together and the loop handles remained loose.
I thought it was very easy to put together but you do need a spanner and a socket set. It is also important to tighten the screws to the max to ensure the loop handles do not remain loose. I put mine together in 15 minutes and it is a very secure and stable, it can comfortably support my weight (220lbs/15st 10lb).
It takes literally 2 seconds to put it up in your door and it comes down just as fast.
You can do narrow grip chin ups and the loop handles allow you to do wider grip chin ups to work more of your lats.
I am very pleased with this purchase and have no problem recommended it.
