Metal Meets Magnet: The Aluminum Magstow Collar (Type 2)
The Magstow Collar Type 2 by Alex Athletics elevates the magnetic collar concept to a professional standard. While composite collars are great for general use, heavy-duty environments demand the rigidity of metal. This Type 2 model features a robust body constructed from high-grade Aluminum Alloy. This material choice offers superior impact resistance, ensuring the collar won’t crack or warp even if stepped on or dropped repeatedly in a busy box. Despite its metal construction, it remains lightweight, preserving the balance of your lift. The integrated “Magstow” technology allows these collars to snap magnetically onto any steel rack upright, beam, or storage strip. This keeps your collars organized, off the floor, and always within arm’s reach for your next set.
The locking mechanism is a precision-engineered cam lever that applies immense clamping force. Because aluminum is stiffer than nylon, the Type 2 collar provides a tighter, more secure lock on the barbell sleeve, preventing plate migration even during high-repetition dropping of bumper plates. The interior is lined with durable rubber pads that grip the chrome sleeve aggressively while protecting it from metal-on-metal scratches. With a sleek, anodized finish (typically available in metallic colors), the Magstow Type 2 combines industrial durability with the smart convenience of magnetic storage. It is the ultimate collar for serious lifters who refuse to chase their gear around the gym.
1. Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction
Durability is the main upgrade. The aluminum alloy body is virtually indestructible in a gym setting. It withstands the shock of overhead drops better than plastic, ensuring the locking mechanism stays tight over years of abuse. It gives the collar a premium, solid feel in the hand.
2. Integrated Magnetic Storage
Never lose your collars again. Strong magnets embedded in the body allow you to “stick” the collars to the power rack immediately after use. This keeps the gym floor tidy and improves workflow efficiency. It turns your rack into a storage unit.
3. Superior Clamping Force
Metal doesn’t flex like plastic. When you lock the lever on the Type 2, the rigid aluminum frame transfers force directly to the pressure pads. This results in a vice-like grip on the bar that resists sliding, even under the vibration of repeated deadlifts or cleans.
4. Barbell Protection Pads
Protecting your barbell investment is critical. The internal rubber lining ensures that the hard aluminum shell never touches the bar shaft. This prevents scratching and gouging of the sleeve finish, keeping your high-end bars looking new.
5. Premium Anodized Finish
The Type 2 features an anodized surface treatment. This is harder than paint and resists chipping and corrosion from sweat. It provides a distinct, metallic aesthetic that looks professional and high-tech, separating it from standard gym accessories.
Who is this for?
- Lifters who break plastic collars frequently.
- Home gym owners who love magnetic organization.
- Athletes needing a secure lock for dropping weights.
- Those who appreciate premium metal accessories.
