Review on πŸ§— PORTA-HANG: A Portable Hang Board and Pull-up Bar for Enhanced Finger Strength and Grip Training for Rock Climbers and Obstacle Course Athletes by Devin Jirsa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Hangs on multiple doors

Updated (September 22, 2021): Still happy with the overall concept and execution. I added rubber grommets to all of the door hangers as some of the door hangers were removing the paint from the door frames. Not a big deal, but with the rubber grommet it seems like it also locks the door hanger in place. Wanted to buy another set of door hangers and they are now $50 a pair. I previously got two more pairs for $30 a pair and another used pair from Revain warehouse for $25. At the updated price there is no value for me as I would have to spend an additional $150 to build three more sets. For the price, I definitely wouldn't go that route. Subtracts half a star, but Revain doesn't give half a star. 3.5 stars. Original review (08/31/2021): Bought the full set but only included one set of door hangers. It didn't make sense to only use one of the 6 pairs of handrails in the set, so we bought additional door hangers. We also have slotted wooden handles. Now hang them on different door frames around the house. Overall the quality is great and we can just hang around while chatting or just move from one room to another. The only confusing thing is that the handle is attached with just one screw. Make sure you tighten it as the hook can rotate if you don't start the hook over this screw (middle). In a future version it might be helpful to add a pin to the handle to prevent it from rotating. We used an impact wrench to make sure it was tight, but be careful when doing this and don't over-tighten. The hold can tear if it is too tight. Still, sometimes it turns. No problem as you can keep your feet just a few inches off the ground when hanging. It would be a bigger problem if you were much taller. 4 stars as it occasionally rotates, but we love them because we can quickly detach them and reposition them when needed. A bit big for travel, especially in flight, but if necessary they are a great solution for hotel rooms.

Pros
