If you want a straightforward pair of spotter arms for a compatible home power rack, these Mikolo Safety Catches are aimed at 2×2-inch uprights with 1-inch holes. They are designed to match Mikolo folding squat racks, but they can also suit other racks with the same tube and hole sizing.
For home lifters, the main appeal is simple: a solid steel safety option that is quick to move, easy to fit, and built to handle heavy sessions. As always with rack accessories, checking your rack dimensions before buying is the key step.

These spotter arms are made from 11-gauge steel and have a powder-coated finish intended to resist scratches and marks better than basic painted surfaces. The black matte look is tidy and understated, which should suit most home gym setups without drawing too much attention.
Adjustment is kept simple. Mikolo says you can set the height in seconds by choosing the right position, inserting the pin and tightening it. There is also a UHMW plastic pad on the contact area, which helps reduce noise and adds a layer of protection for your bar when it lands on the arms.
- Fits 2×2-inch rack tubing with 1-inch holes
- Designed for Mikolo folding squat racks
- 11-gauge steel construction
- Rated up to 800 lbs

In practical terms, this pair looks like a sensible choice for anyone building a compatible home rack setup for squats, bench press, shoulder press and similar barbell work. The stated 800 lb capacity and steel construction will appeal to users who want a more reassuring safety setup than basic entry-level attachments.
The main thing to keep in mind is compatibility. If your rack is genuinely 2×2 with 1-inch holes, these Mikolo spotter arms should be a useful addition. If not, it is worth measuring carefully first. Overall, they offer a clear mix of durability, quick adjustment and bar-friendly protection for the price.
