Cannon Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Grip nerds! We have a new economical combination setting block and straphold with amazing laser-engraved art by grip enthusiast Roy Wolfs @Royz. https://cannonpowerworks.com/products/skeleton-key 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Savvy shoppers will realize these look suspiciously like Block-Aid parts. They are When Tom passed away, we had about 200 unbuilt Block-Aids. That product never sold well and was honestly not the most elegant solution for what were trying to accomplish. We went through many different designs trying to get the credit card involved and it never really came together. Honestly we should have just left the credit card out. That is where Skeleton Key came to life. Roy made some amazing new art for us and we had the parts laser engraved. And the cost of the product is much lower because now each plate is a part instead of it taking two of them to make a Block-Aid. These are satisfying to hold, almost like a worry stone. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorOfCrush Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yeah, super cool. Will definitely be adding it to my Standard Gripper order when they drop again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s challenging, right? How much weight do you use? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matek Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Looks great! I have a block aid and I like it a lot, but I'll grab a skeleton key with my next order just because of the artwork 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use the old Block-Aid for any strap work. These are too cool to scratch up! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageWeightsPGH Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I just added one to my new order yesterday. I didn’t realize there were two different pieces of artwork. I’m a dork enough to want whoever one I don’t get. I guess I’ll be ordering another one. I think it’s a great idea. Convenient and versatile - the two qualities that really make a product a winner for home gyms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 @VintageWeightsPGH We are also serializing them. If you order both at the same time, the serial numbers will match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gripper technique needs a T-O-N of work...but that didn't stop me. If I had to describe my gym...it's a mix of old school iron with random cool stuff. And these are definitely cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumptheBrachs Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Got mine today. Only problem with it is I like both of the designs enough that I'd regret not getting the other one either way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
