Key Features & Specifications
Made in the USA: Manufactured at Rogue HQ in Columbus, Ohio (using imported magnets).
Construction: CNC-machined from 6061 billet aircraft-grade aluminum.
Magnetic Integration: (4) high-strength magnets per collar are mechanically pressed into machined pockets (not glued) for maximum stability and longevity.
Locking Mechanism: Improved cam-lever clamp mechanism for a secure hold during high-impact drops.
Internal Protection: Rubberized interior lining prevents metal-on-metal contact and protects the finish of your barbell sleeves.
Dimensions: 1.5” Width (Low-profile to maximize loadable sleeve space).
Weight: 0.9 LB per pair (0.45 LB per collar).
Finish: Gun Metal Gray anodized finish with Rogue branding.
Compatibility: Designed for all standard 50mm Olympic barbell sleeves.
Performance Benefits
Smart Storage: The built-in magnets allow athletes to "slap" the collars onto the side of a power rack or storage post between sets, keeping them off the floor and within arm's reach.
Superior Durability: Aircraft-grade aluminum construction is virtually indestructible compared to standard plastic collars, ensuring they will not crack or break over years of heavy use.
Consistent Stability: The cam-lever design provides a vise-like grip that eliminates "plate rattle" and shifting, even during high-rep CrossFit® workouts or aggressive deadlift drops.
Aesthetic Distinction: The gear-shaped design and gunmetal finish provide a premium, industrial look that complements high-end gym equipment.
Maintenance and Care
Lining Cleaning: Periodically wipe the interior rubber lining with a damp cloth to remove chalk and dust. Maintaining high friction is critical for the strongest possible grip on the barbell.
Lever Operation: Ensure the lever is clicked fully open before sliding onto the bar. The 2.0 mechanism has distinct positions; if not fully opened, the collar may feel too tight on the sleeve.
Anodization Care: While highly durable, slight color variations are natural to the anodization process. Avoid abrasive chemicals that could degrade the finish.
Warranty Information

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the magnets stick to a stainless steel rack? A: No. Magnets only adhere to ferromagnetic materials like carbon steel. They will not stick to 300-series stainless steel uprights.
Q: Do I need to worry about the magnets falling out? A: No. Unlike budget magnetic collars that use adhesive, OSO magnets are mechanically pressed into specifically machined pockets, ensuring they remain secure throughout the life of the product.
Q: Can I use these on specialty bars (e.g., Axel bars)? A: These are designed for standard 50mm sleeves. If your specialty bar has standard Olympic-sized sleeves, they will fit. For 1.9" specialized sleeves, see the OSO Mighty Axle Collars.
