The Best Bar after much research
This bar is definitely the best one, I researched everywhere before buying. Reasons: it extends from both ends, and has perfectly-placed padding that covers almost the entire bar.
And it stays wherever you put it.

The "I don't usually write reviews" review
Yeah, I don't write reviews but.. This thing is pretty much perfect. Some reviewers mentioned that it slips but the manufacturers added locks now so it doesn't slip. The hangers bolt into a doorway and the bar easily twists into them. It's solid as hell and no way this is going anywhere. The new locks keep it firm with no slipping at all. The entire family is doing pull ups now. Just buy it.

My Son Recommends This.....I think
Purchased this item for my son as part of his physical preparation for a rather demanding new job. Arrived promptly, in great condition. We screwed the end units into the door jam, using three screws for each end. Placed the bar inside the end pieces and twisted it into the appropriate length. This took us a few extra minutes because I kept shortening it when I would forgot which way to twist it (by the 4th or 5th try, I finally figured it out). The bar is of good quality and is used daily, without issue, by a 5'7" 160lb young man. I've asked my son if he would recommend it and he said "would you please leave me alone & get out of my room!" which I took to mean "yes, highly recommended!"
