Solid steel measuring 0.7 inches thick forms the core of this cable attachment, a section heavy enough to take a rated traction load of 1212 pounds without flexing or opening up under a hard pull. Full welding joins the bar to the yoke rather than bolting, removing the weak point where cheaper attachments loosen and rattle after a few months of use. A thick rubber coating wraps the round rod grip, cutting the pressure that a bare steel bar puts on fingers and wrist joints during high-rep sets and keeping the hold secure once palms are damp. The grip section measures 24 by 5.5 by 6.7 inches, wide enough for lat pulldowns and close enough for rowing, triceps pushdowns and biceps curls from the same handle. An extended carabiner runs 4 inches longer than standard so the bar clips onto most home and commercial cable stations without an adapter. Assembled weight is 5.3 pounds. Wipe the steel dry after use.
