CrimpWerkers are isometric resistance training tools targeted directly at your fingers. Created for rock climbers by rock climbers, CrimpWerkers were designed to train and strengthen your fingers to grasp small crimp holds while rock climbing. CrimpWerkers fill the gap in finger strength training for beginning and intermediate climbers. Advanced level tools such as hangboards and campus boards are generally too aggressive for beginner and intermediate level climbers. CrimpWerkers offer a safer and more balanced approach that provides focused finger strength training so you can efficiently progress through the moderate levels. Crimpwerkers give you a challenging upper body isometric workout. As you train your fingers, you build body strength using mechanics consistent with climbing. Develop better lockoff strength and endurance by engaging major muscle groups with sustained isometric resistance. Crimpwerkers attach to a variety of resistance training devices. CrimpWerkers connect your fingers directly with a resistance training device, such as a cable weight machine or a strong bungee cord (included in the bungee set). This allows you to tailor your finger training regiment with precisely the amount of force and direction you desire. Home, gym and crag - Crimpwerkers are portable finger strength training tools for rock climbing. Because CrimpWerkers are light and portable, you can take and use them anywhere, and incorporate finger strength training into your normal gym workout. Take it to the crag for an excellent warm up before a tough project, or train at home when you can’t make it to the gym. Using sub-bodyweight resistance is safer and reduces risk of finger strain and injury. Nobody wants to be sidelined because of blown-out fingers. CrimpWerkers are perfect for beginners or climbers recovering from injuries. You control the amount of force put on your fingers so you can safely and efficiently increase your finger strength.

A really useful tool for rock climbing warm-up and home training
This tool is great for developing finger tendon/pulley strength for crimp grips. Most beginner climbers are advised and naturally inclined to start with open-hand grip (jugs and slopers) to develop pulling strength and avoid finger injuries. However, eventually the beginner climbers will progress and want to tackle routes or problems that have finger-busting crimp holds. Jumping straight to the hang board to strengthen the fingers is a recipe for disaster. Crimpwerker bridges this gap by allowing controlled loading of the finger connective tissue. It comes with a strong bungee cord and there are 2 different hold depths (adjustable by unscrewing the hex screws and turn the red piece around). Basically, you attach the cord to an anchor (I use a stair handrail) and start pulling. When 4 finger crimp becomes too easy, you can progress to 3, 2, or 1 finger crimp. You can also change the anchor point to work on different types of contact strength as well.The product is well-made; the red hold pieces have really nice texture and the black base plate is made of metal. The bungee might lose elasticity overtime, but you can easily replace it. I thought about making my own out of wood, but ended up purchasing the product after I tried it in the gym. It is a little pricey for what it is, but the concept is simply smart and the construction appears indestructible. It was made in Henderson, Nevada (my hometown) too!
