Handles Break

I've had the dumbbells over two years now and feel when they worked, they worked great. Unfortunately, after about 1 year the individual weights began to fall out;  very dangerous if you work out barefoot!

Soon thereafter, the locking mechanism stopped "clicking" into place;  then I noticed a jingle sound from the mechanism.  It turned out that some ball bearings in the mechanism had come loose.  Eventually, the handle became useless.

I called customer service and without a problem they sent me a replacement handle that worked fine.

Now, after another 9 months the second of the original handles developed the same problem.  Out of warranty and it will cost $56.00 to replace the handle.

I can't use the weights because I don't trust that the weight plates won't fall out durting use and land on my feet or head!

Obviously there is a design flaw in the handles and I can't recomend these weights.
