Powerblocks and stand on Clearance
Hey crew, Powerblocks are up on Woot this week, probably the cheapest place to find them new (and free ship with Prime). I see these on sale 1-2 weeks a year. Details on the DBs below the link.

I've had the same model for over a year. These are Sport EXPs, so they take the 70lb and 90lb expansions. It was a great step up from using 20” loadable handles. If you are curious, comment below. I can post pics when I get home for anyone still building the gym ( 👋 ). These are sturdy, I expect these will hold up for years and years, but they don't compare to fixed dumbbells for durability under abuse. The REP adjustable are the toughest I've tried, but these are slimmer.
The base 50lb set is $250. Stage 1 and 2 expansions (70lb and 90lb) are posted for $130. It takes some careful matching, but you can find the expansions for sale elsewhere. Just do your homework because Powerblock varies the design from model to model. The handles are comfortable and grippy, my average hands fit fine in the cage. A few machinists sell knurled handles online for upgrades if that's your thing.
Adjusting the weight means setting the DB down, setting the pin to retain the plates to make a 10lb jump. No cradle. Removing two 2.5lb rods from the handle allows you to drop the weight down. So weight progresses 10, 15, 17.5, 20, 25 etc. 10lb changes take 15 seconds, smaller changes take up to a minute. No tools.
The Powerblock Stand is good ($140). I'm happy with the Titan DB stand at home and I got by for 6 months with a playroom IKEA bookcase.
