Recommended Posts

Hey guys

Here is some pics of myrolling deadlift handle that i made nicknamed Thors handle.

The specs are 61mm (2.4") diameter solid steel handle

14 mm (9/16) solid steel shaft

Used 40mm (1.57") flat bar to make up the handle

Weight is 4.1kgs (9 lbs) it rls really well forgot to get a vid of that maybe later

This was the first grip tool I made. Now that iv caught the bug and am really enjoying grip traing ill start buying some other handles. This was a cheap way for me to start being in Aus postage is a killer.

I like it! I think it's great when people spend the time to make equipment like this.

Iv made some hubs and pinch blocks still experimenting with the best finish.

We get our steel either gal or painted im finding a black etch primer is working best. Hammer tone paint if i take the gloss of has been ok

Here is a texture I have experimented with. While the work is still somewhat hot from the welding apply a thin coat of paint. Right after this throw a handful of grinding dust or fine metal shavings on the device. The. Add 2-3 coats of paint. Seems to add texture without being too aggressive.

@Adam Juncker That is an awsome idea. I was trying to find no slip floor paint that is a much simpler idea
