Up for a new belt; my current belt is a Pullum 2 buckle belt; it's kind of seen it's days now as it's starting to come apart, so looking at lever belts now

Mainly used for deads and stone/dinnie lifting etc

Have seen the SBD one, Strengthshop 13mm one and the Irontanks one...

Any other suggestions and maybe what to look for?

Cheers

I've had an inzer single prong 13mm belt for a good 8+ years now, only belt I've had during that time and it's still pretty much as good as new. Expensive, but a great belt. Very stiff when you first get it, but it breaks in soon enough.

Inzer forever lever belt, i've had mine going on 10 years now and its still going strong.

Imo the SBD isnt worth the extra money, all your paying extra for is a fancy lever

Inzer Forever lever, 13mm. 12 years. Been through hell and back, still great condition. Buy properly, buy once.

Iron tanks. I moved from an izer to my iron tank a year or so ago.

SS 13mm with cast iron lever. Robust and belt can be cranked very tight, great for big lifts and compressing bodyfat so convincing yourself your waist is not getting any bigger as you go up in weight.

these are expensive but mine is probably one of my most treasured possessions.

The SBD belt is brill! But depends on your budget. If I ever needed a new belt I would certainly get an SBDone.

My 10 year old inzer forever still has many years left! However if I had the spare cash I'd get an SBD one

Just to update; I've bought this: https://cerberus-strength.com/products/lever-belt-13mm?variant=7528472412208

Never used a lever belt before; so didn't want to fork out twice this price and not get on with it; so this will be a good marker

Will report back once it's landed and detail how I've got on with it

I only really use a belt for doing stuff like dinnie stones, stone lifting (atlas and natural) and log/viking pressing etc

Belt received; first impressions are that it's very well made and very stiff!

I've sorted the lever and it's on the last hole for me, I'll not send it back for a smaller one as I'll more than likely put the weight I've lost recently, back on come winter time and when I start eating 'heartier' food (read fat f**k food Grin )

It's very tight, easier to lock on than my Pullum Sports twin buckle belt

The plate that holds the screws for the lever isn't very well counter sunk, but I can soon sort that and if need be, can drill more holes into the belt to make it tighter

Only used it once so far on rack pulls; but will keep using it more as need to bed it in, so to speak

For c£80 delivered, it's a good buy IMO

Me too - I think mine is 10mm.
Mine has been through mediocrity and still hasn’t come back
