A twist-select pair that tops out at 55 pounds each
This listing is the pair version of CAP's ADJUSTABELL G8 with a black handle, model SDBAPIS-110G8BK, which CAP's product page lists among its variants. CAP sells the G8 as a 55 lb pair, 110 lb in total, or as a 55 lb single, with chrome, black or copper handles.
The Amazon listing gives the range as 10 to 55 lb in 5 lb increments, which is ten settings per dumbbell. CAP's own page does not print the range or the increments, but says the system replaces up to 10 sets of dumbbells, which matches the listing's count.
How the weight is selected
CAP describes turning the handle left or right while the dumbbell sits on its tray to pick a weight, then lifting it out, with no knobs, pins or levers. The listing adds a 360 degree rotating handle, clear weight indicators and what it calls a secure weight-locking system.
Both documents describe the included storage tray as the place where the dumbbells sit during adjustment. Neither CAP's page nor the listing gives a written procedure for checking the lock, and no CAP manual was available on the product page, so ask CAP for instructions if none come in the box.
Octagonal or hex: the shape wording differs
CAP names this model the ADJUSTABELL G8 Octagonal, while the Amazon title and bullets describe an anti-roll hex shape. The listing's model number SDBAPIS-110G8BK appears on CAP's G8 page, so both documents name the same product code; neither explains the different shape wording.
The listing describes steel handles with tight knurling and nylon-coated plates. CAP's page mentions a knurled full-rotation handle, and its body text describes chrome-finished, contoured handles even though the same page sells black and copper handle options. Confirm the finish with the seller if the black handle matters to you.
Size and weight on the listing
Amazon lists the item at 19.69 by 7.87 inches with a 1 inch handle diameter and an item weight of 55.1 lb. CAP's product page gives no dimensions, so these figures come only from the listing and could not be checked against a maker document.
Because each dumbbell rests on the tray between sets and during every weight change, allow floor space for the trays as well as the dumbbells. CAP's care notes ask owners to store the equipment indoors and away from moisture, children and pets.
Care rules that also protect the warranty
CAP's care guidance says not to drop dumbbells or tap them together, to wipe them with a clean cloth after use, and to store them indoors away from moisture. Its warranty table excludes damage from dropping dumbbells or knocking them together.
Damage such as loose heads after drops, bent handles, dents, rips, paint peeling and rust is excluded from the dumbbell warranty. CAP also asks that a loose head found on arrival be reported within seven days of receipt, so inspect both dumbbells as soon as they are unpacked.
Warranty: 30 days, home use, authorized sellers only
CAP's warranty table gives dumbbells 30 days against defects in material or craftsmanship, for the original owner in the contiguous United States with a sales receipt. The warranty is void in commercial, rental or other non-home settings.
CAP states that the warranty applies only to products bought directly from CAP or from an authorized CAP dealer, is not transferable, requires a return authorization by phone before any return, and needs prepaid shipping. Its terms also include an arbitration clause worth reading before purchase.
