This is a solidly-built, versatile piece of equipment that has become the most used apparatus we own. It’s wide, easily accommodating the straps, rings, and any other accessories you might want to use. I had a simple, quick installation directly on exposed joists. I can’t say enough good things about the customer service. Mark, the proprietor, was super quick to respond to a few questions I had about accessories and took the time to make sure I was happy with the product. Great product and great people to do business with.First off, I've had no problem with the supplied screws - they are holding up well.This bar is just right for mounting in my garage with a nine-foot ceiling. I found my ceiling joists, drilled holes in the right place, and mounted the brackets with the screws that came in the box.The installation video was very helpful except that they recommend the wrong size socket for driving the bolts. If you don't have the right size socket, take one the screws and one of the bolts (used for securing the bar to the bracket) with you to the hardware store to get the correct size.I'm very impressed with this pull up bar and I'm enjoying using it.Seems sturdy enough. But the other reviews regarding hardware quality are true. I predrilled as directed by the installation video they recommend you watch prior to install. The lag bolt provided didn’t make it to snug before breaking off. Now I get to drill new holes rather than trying to extract what is left in my ceiling joist.Excellent, very sturdy, some play with bar + bar bolts to fit space between studs. Read on for tips.I was a bit worried my stud gap wasn’t going to align with the bar length. Turns out, there’s plenty of give in the bar screws to ensure a tight, sturdy, no wobble installation.I watched the video on the website, mostly helpful: https://studbarpullup.com/stud-bar-installation/#closeAll the tools I used + tips (see picture):-Ratchet kit (cheap from lowe’s for like 25 bucks)-You only need socket size 14 millimeter for the stud screws and 16 millimeter for the bar.-Drill bit sized 3/16” for pilot hole-drill to socket adapter (drill to 3/8” for my socket set-Electric drill (to get stud screws started)I was fortunate to have an open ceiling to work with, so I could get the stud screws dead center on the stud for each hole. Follow the video for the most part, start one end, move to the others, pilot drill first 3/16”, then stud screws.I drilled all the holes first using the ceiling mount as a guide, then I went back and started the stud screws with the e-drill. My drill here is very crappy so I ended up using the ratchet to finish tightening (I’m normally a Milwaukee guy don’t worry). Video says not to use it but if you don’t rotate too far, you won’t break the screws. Just do it enough so that they’re secure, don’t over-tighten.Video was also correct, you want to keep the stud screws loose until you have inserted the bar. There’s a lot of play with the bar screws, maybe a combined 1 1/2 inch? So don’t worry if your studs are a little off. I’d say anywhere (center stud to center stud) between 47 1/2 and 48 1/2 inches you’ll probably be able to get a nice solid fit on the bar. I’d even say you might be able to get away with 47-49”!Anyway, very pleased with how it turned out. Just got 15 reps in, can confirm from a fairly experienced pull upper that this bar is excellent, sturdy, easy grip and high quality. Fully made of steel - shit isn’t going anywhere. I have the 8ft version and have about an 8 foot ceiling, by the way. Fits perfectly.I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with every step of the Stud Bar purchase, customer service, installation and ultimately USE!When I purchased my Stud Bar I realized that it was a little too big for my garage ceiling (I ordered a large and my ceiling is around 9.5 feet). Ironically my next door neighbor just purchased a large one as well but it hadn't shipped yet. It is very rare that in your Amazon box you get a personal note from the small business owner, but in this case Mark included a note that said if you need anything call him personally. Low and behold I called the number, talked to Mark, and he switched out the large for a medium and shipped it to my neighbor. I gave my neighbor the large and I installed the medium once it came to his house. It was PERFECT! I wish more small businesses would include personal contact info when you buy their product through Amazon. It made the entire experience great.My garage didn't have 48' between studs, so we installed some 2/4's to make sure it was sturdy. Now that it is installed it works great! I can't do muscle ups on the medium size (because of my height, I am 5'11''), but I have already done T2B, C2B, strict and kipping pull ups. Perfect for any athlete but especially a CrossFitter training for the Open, Murph, or wanting to get better. And if I need to practice muscle ups I can just go next door and work on my neighbor's large model.Living in Columbus, Ohio, the Rogue headquarters is here so it would have been easy to get a Rogue bar which I'm sure is another great product. But I couldn't be happier with the Stud Bar and supporting a small business.Thank you Stud Bar!Rock solid. Makes it easy to conveniently get in many pull ups throughout the day!
