gerryg Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I have had my eye on this One Wicked Wrist Roller sold by ironmind.com!Is it worth the money or should I make my own wrist roller with some pcv and rope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chips Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 It will cost you under $5 to make one on your own. I actually made two for $4.83 You can get them in any diameter pipe you want. One thing I should have done, was to make it shorter. I thought I needed two feet for my hands, but really all you need is about a foot to 14 inches. I also covered mine in grip tape, which I quickly tore off. It makes it way too easy if your hands are glued to the bar. Galvanized pipe is the best. Its smooth enough to actually make your hands work, but not slippery. And it costs about 50 cents a foot. Alot of hardware stores will give you their scraps. Use nylon rope, it can hold more than 100lbs. And I found that a dog leash style clip works better than a carabiner. They pass thru the small one inch holes on most weights, so you can use it on any weights you have lying around. Also the longer you make it, the better. Stand up on a chair or bench so you have a longer distance to roll. Good Luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
