Bells of Steel Buzz-Saw Bench with Preacher Curl review

The Buzz-Saw preacher option combines the adjustable bench with a preacher-curl attachment and its model-matched adapter. Its current U.S. selector identity is SKU BSAW-PREA-ADP-BA-SET. The exact variant image shows the arm pad and curl handles attached to the Buzz-Saw frame. This package is not the leg-extension/curl version, the dedicated Leg Roller package, or the full attachment bundle. The shared page’s multiple images can otherwise make the included set easy to misread.

Preacher support is the package-specific feature

The addition turns the bench into a platform for preacher-style curl work, giving a buyer an arm-isolation feature in addition to a general adjustable bench. The adapter is expressly included in the SKU. Bells’ Bench Attachments page describes the preacher pad as a separate attachment and says its components are designed to mount to the correct Buzz-Saw or Hero host with the model-matched adapter. This supports a Buzz-Saw configuration, not a blanket claim of compatibility with another brand’s bench.

The manufacturer does not provide an exact preacher pad height, its adjustment positions, the assembled reach, or a specific load limit for this SKU in the sources checked. The photo can show the assembly’s form, but not whether it will fit every lifter or clear every dumbbell, bar, room or movement path. Confirm the attachment instructions, body-fit adjustments and the stated 200-lb maximum for compatible bench attachments with Bells before training. That accessory loading figure is separate from the bench’s structural claim.

The rest of the bench still needs individual attention

Under the preacher equipment is the same Buzz-Saw FID frame. Bells describes 24 combinations from eight back positions and three seat angles. Its FAQ enumerates 88°, 75°, 65°, 55°, 45°, 30°, flat at 0°, and -10° decline. The exact seat angles are not named. The product image uses different-looking angle numerals, so the written angle list should be read as a maker statement and checked against the physical bench and current instructions.

The product page states a 1,000-lb capacity at every bench angle and describes an 11-gauge steel frame, a 2.4-inch pad and a grippy textured surface. These are manufacturer claims, not independent strength or comfort testing. The source does not explain whether 1,000 lb means user plus external load, and it does not say how an attachment’s own load should be combined with that figure. Do not count the preacher assembly as a decline restraint: Bells describes the separate Leg Roller as anchoring the legs for decline work, and that part is not included here.

Check room and storage as two configurations

The bench frame has wheels and a handle for repositioning. Bells says it can be stored upright with a built-in stopper, with an explicit warning that the storage surface must be level to avoid the bench falling. It does not state that the preacher attachment should remain installed during vertical storage. Set aside space for the removable preacher assembly and check the bench’s full use area before putting it close to walls or other equipment.

There are no exact bench base dimensions, product footprint or attached storage envelope in the sources checked. The manual’s safety instruction to leave two feet of clearance is not a base-area measurement. The bench weight is also inconsistent on the product page: a details section gives 94.3 lb, while the FAQ says about 98 lb. The FAQ’s “around 18 in” flat height is approximate, not a precise spec. If you need an exact lifting weight, room limit or arm-pad reach, ask the maker and measure the installed setup rather than estimating from the picture.

Is this the right Buzz-Saw bundle?

This version is worth comparing when preacher-style arm work is the reason to add an attachment and you also want the Buzz-Saw’s flat, incline and decline range. It avoids buying the leg developer or dedicated Leg Roller if those are not part of the routine. It is the wrong package for someone whose priority is a decline leg anchor, leg curls/extensions, or all three attachments; those are distinct SKUs. A useful purchase check is to ensure that the listing says “Bench + Preacher Curl Attachment + Adapter” and gives BSAW-PREA-ADP-BA-SET rather than relying on the shared product title alone.

Bells lists a limited lifetime frame warranty and 180 days for wheels and upholstery; check the terms that apply to the preacher pad and adapter. The linked Buzz-Saw assembly PDF covers the bench frame, not necessarily the preacher mechanism. Follow accessory-specific instructions, check the adapter’s pin and hardware, and use the bench on a flat surface with the maker’s clearance guidance.

This desk-based assessment does not claim hands-on use, fit testing, ownership or measured performance. The primary sources are Bells of Steel’s Buzz-Saw product page, its Bench Attachments page and the linked bench assembly instructions. Confirm the exact preacher package, pad fit, attachment load guidance and storage procedure with the manufacturer before ordering.
