I got these as a gift to my granddaughter who's a competitive cllimbing gym afficionado.She seems a bit bent out of shape because the printed instructions on a Chinese made product were less than ideal. I'm not going to knock them for that!Here's her review:The hangboards themselves were great - lots of different options for depth, even a one-finger pocket - but the instructions definitely brought down my opinion. Rather, the LACK of instructions; there was only a tag that had one sentence [I forget the sentence but it was basically "this product is very versatile"] and two short lengths of rope with no clear way to attach them. In order to hang up the hangboards, I had to look up a strong, sturdy knot that I could trust my weight on and that could be tied with such a short rope, and after a bit of research I found the Double Fishermen's Bend knot, which I highly recommend using. However, I still had to learn how to tie it, and the YouTube videos I found were not the most clear, especially because I'm left handed. Eventually I figured it out, and was able to hang the hangboards on the side handles of my pull-up bar. Even though the instructions were non-existent and the rope was short, the hangboards themselves were so nice that I couldn't bring myself to rate them below [three and a half? Can you do halves?] stars. If you get this, I recommend knowing how to improvise, but all in all a decent buy!As a climber, I'm really looking forward to training on these to improve my grip. If you're looking for a portable hangboard and are willing to fiddle around with rope a bit, this is a cheap but still high-quality option!

I’m not a climber but I am trying to improve my grip and strength. I have small narrow fingers. The holds fit me well and are challenging. These grips are well-made: smooth, no splinters or random roughness or defects due to processing, and seem durable. I think they are compressed wood, but often that can be very strong in withstanding the elements and sweat. They are a natural matte finish, no shininess. Inside each hold, you can feel the striations of the machine processing through the material (see closeup of hold in photo). It’s not a lot, not coarse, but it is an observable, slight but even, striation.Three holds are labeled 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mm. I’ve attached one to a strong springing band and the other to a bar out on my porch. When my oldest visits this summer, I am going to have him test them out, as he is a climber. Two for forty bucks seems a good value.

As a rock climbing gym member, I’d love to work on my grip strength and my arm strength so I was looking for a hang board. Saw this and thought it might fit the bill (figuratively and financially). It feels well made, but I wish there was a way to better mount it on the wall or at the very least, included a nice carabiner to attach it to an outdoor slack line like the ones my kids have on the ninja course in the backyard. I think for a slim select group, this might be interesting to have, but I think I haven’t been able to figure out the use for this in a portable way like it advertises. Probably the reason why I don’t see these at the rock climbing gym or among other climbers like you do with regular hang boards.

These portable hangboards are excellent design and quality. The set comes with two hangboards and two quality ropes. The ropes feel like typical climbing ropes and were easy to knot. The hangboards have a variety of irresistible holds to practice different techniques and strengthen your grip. I absolutely love that you can simply turn the hangboard to position it for different holds.The holds feel great. I notice another reviewer mentioned the grooved texture, but I'm certain this is an intentional design to give the holds a little texture to grip. It's very subtle and just feels right. The material these are made from feels durable. I was planning to leave them outside but am not sure that's such a good idea. I don't at all expect any deterioration or problems with typical use.This is a quality product and I would buy it again.

The wood is really good quality I'm 250lbs and I could put my entire weight hanging from it it. Comes with some decent rope to hang them, has a fed different size grip holes.

Other similar products on here have folks complaining that there were rough edges and they still needed to do some sanding. That is absolutely not a problem with these. They are almost TOO smooth, but I mean that in a good way. It forces you to rely on your grip more so and not necessarily friction. They were so pristine and perfect upon delivery that I was almost hesitant to use them lol. I shorten the loops and hang them from my doorway pull up bar, and just bend my knees to hang and work on my grip. Speaking of the loops, look up how to tie a double fisherman's knot, and you'll just do that to the 2 ends so that you make a closed loop. That'll be plenty strong. To make mine shorter, I did do a double "circle" before typing my fisherman knots, so that my loops are even shorter so I'm not hanging as low, but you'll customize that to your needs.

These are a great addition to my home gym as a climber. I've been climbing for almost ten years, but always relied on the climbing gym for hangboard exercises. I like the independent design of these compared to fixed hangboards as they work stabilizing muscles even more. These are nicely finished and the ropes provide versatility in mounting. I have mine tied to my pull up bar. With a bit of chalk these provide great grip at varying depths. I'd recommend these to any climber or individual looking to improve grip strength at home!

These are so great as portable devices to help with hang boarding exercises. I will say they are a little bit more bulky and large than ideal so it is not as portable as other ones I have seen. Hwoever they definitely do the trick for doing what they need to. The wood seems durable enough. It comes with a strong rope that can be attached to anything else but if you do a complicated knot, keep in mind the rope is shorter.
