Current options for long tone bars

Post by Nick Krol »

I've been trying different tone bars and have decided I'd like a 7/8" x 4" lightweight bar. Something like BJS does, but he seems out of stock of everything and I'd like to get it ASAP. Are there any bars out there that are close to those specs? I have very long fingers so I want a long bar, but I also move around a lot so I need something lightweight.

Thanks!

This is not quick unless you're in the UK, but Ben Burrow makes custom bars of any size, various metals, etc.
The quality is outstanding and the price is good even with international shipping. https://bensbarsandslides.weebly.com/

Todd Clinesmith makes polymer bars with 7/8 diameter. I know BJS makes 7/8.

I got some bars from Wayne Johnson in August. 7/8 X 4 1/4. In aluminum and stainless steel. Reasonable pricing, excellent quality.
