Landmine Attachment - Vanta Series

Really nice for the price.

Only lost one star because the inside of the tube was full of oil and charts of metal . Paint ran inside the tube as well. Half way down the tube is smooth, but towards the outside, I'm going to have to remove the paint somehow.

Nearly perfect for me.

I have this attached at the end of my storage rack on a mini foot. It’s perfect in that you can pick the side it swing from. It’s effectively a long double male screw with two thumb screws and the tube attachment that goes with it. For me. It’s all I wanted. I did need to (easily) disassemble and wipe out some flash rust (I’m no diva) and simply added a little PTFE spray to protect it further. The movement is smooth! It goes side to side and in arcs really well. My single complaint. When you snug down the attachment, you are basically sandwiching tube between the thumb screws. Soooo… if you tighten it too much, it doesn’t want to move up and down, so you’re forced to back it off a thread or two making the nut loose. Now, it hasn’t come off, but it’s not a great feeling when you know the landmine is just kinda being held in by a loose nut… I’d make the suggestion to provide one of the thumb screws with a set screw drilled into it. I mean, the tube itself has one for the barbell. Anyways, if you could independently tighten the nut to not move beyond where you set it, it would be perfect! I’m considering drilling, tapping, and putting in a set screw myself and this thing would be perfect. It looks great and is a nice price point otherwise. I may just use a dab of loctite too… but, I wish I didn’t have to. I’d gladly pay an extra $5-10 for them to add the locking nut…
