About this product
These vintage YORK BARBELL "PANCAKE" 2.5s are cast iron dumbbells with a black finish. Each dumbbell weighs 2.5 lb, ideal for warm-ups, rehabilitation, or light toning. Made in the USA, they feature the iconic pancake plate style. Priced at $40.00 for a set of two, they are a niche item for collectors or those needing very light weights.
Our take
These little 2.5 lb pancakes are perfect for warming up my shoulders or doing some light rotator cuff work. The cast iron feels tough, and the black paint is holding up. They're tiny but have that old-school York charm. For $40, they are a bit pricey per pound, but if you're building a vintage set, you need these to complete the collection. Just don't expect to build muscle with them alone.
