These "hooks" functions perfect for my needs with the bands when I'm stretching or different exercises to finish off my workouts.Its easier to have this permanently on my squat rack than having to put something there temporally to hold this. It fits perfectly on my rack as well.Seems like really good quality and well made.Def worth the money for me.

Fits our Rouge monster rack and is great for being able to position our fitness bands securely in multiple different positions. Game changer for home fitness and toning.

This is a nice attachment for my power rack to securely hold my bands. I was expecting that it would slide through the holes in my rack; however, I had to screw them in instead. That works, but it makes it a bit time consuming if I want to move it around on the rack. Having said that - it's doing the job quite well.

I snagged this thinking it would be a great addition to our workout room. And it would be...if I'd checked first to make sure it fit into the equipment we have. Unfortunately after it arrived I realized our equipment has vertical slots that do not go all the way thru the uprights, so there's no way it will work. I'm still giving it 5 stars though, because it is large and sturdy and will work for the right equipment. I like that the end is rubberized so there would not be any chafing on exercise bands.

I have a multi-station commercial quality cable machine. Have a full compliment of dumbbells and weight plates that I can use within my power cage, but there are just some exercises that are best performed with resistance bands or tubes. My wife has used them for decades, beginning for rehab after a major knee reconstruction. Originally, she used a webbing attachment intended to be used with a closed door. Later is took off the door and rigged up an attachment using the remaining hinge plate as the anchor. Both have worked for many years, but both have their drawbacks--the former with the possibility of the door opening during use; the latter being a fixed height anchor which worked well for knees, but not for upper body level attachment. Of course there are work arounds, and other means of fixed anchors, but until recent years, all have been undesirable for one reason or another (like having to sink lag bolts thought your sheet rock to fix a plate to the underlying wooden stud.Relatively recently, a plethora of quite similar devices have emerged, all capable of using the spaced holes on a power cage to fix one or more anchors to it. The big down side of these devices is having to have a fairly expensive power cage, but if you've come to this product page, and read this far, you most likely have one already. These resistance band anchors become attachments that increase the use of your cage, without significantly interfering with its primary (or at least intended) use. Nearly all involve a form of a long shafted eye bolt fitted with a flange and or large washes to rest against the sides of the cage. Most are secured by screwing down a large wing nut or knob. The Hoojaku attachment is much the same, but where most others are are used with a carabiner or screw clevis, this uses a plate with multiple options for how the bands/tubing can be attached. This increased versatility comes at considerably greater price (50-100%) more than the previous alternatives. Whether or not you will find the increased cost justified by the greater modes of attaching the band/tubing will depend more on personal preference, than technical advantage. I like it enough to have one, but not enough to replace the two upper and two lower anchors I already have in place.There are several areas in which this device could be improved, the need for which will depend on your cage. For those who have cages which have one inch holes. you're going to want a spacer to keep the shaft centered within the hole. Some alternatives have a stepped flanges, which I find the best means they don't require a separate spacer. Some (but not most) alternative attachments use some softer material to fit between the flange/washer to reduce any chance of marring the finish of your cage. I use my own hard plastic washers in this position, which also allow me some ability to rotate the "eye" around the shaft axis after the anchor is secured to the cage.Though the plate is coated and is of a thickness comparable to smaller carabiners, I would liker to see a thicker plate which would allow for a larger radius for the bands/tubing to run over, one at least with a radius comparable to a standard carabiner.All told, this is a most useful means of anchoring resistance bands and tubing. It is not, however, the perfect replacement for the other alternatives, especially with regards to price.
