Not only did the Swissies take 3 weeks to even be dispatched, but once they arrived, they look tarnished and already used. No response from customer service. Totally unacceptable conduct from Kensui.
I don’t often write reviews but I had to for those. As a Swiss citizen I kinda like their name ;). As a gym rat I love their ergonomics and thoughness. They’re a great addition to my weighted pull up sessions. 100% would recommend.
I love the simplicity and convenience of the design. It’s so easy to quickly switch grips - straight, overhand partially pronated, underhand partially supinated.
The annoying flaw? Three of the four rubber pads fell off on the first use. This is a problem that Kensui is aware of - as numerous reviewers have pointed this out - and should have been corrected by now. The manufacturer attached the pads with rubber cement (a terrible choice of adhesive for this application). Kensui recommended super glue to reattached the pads. This would likely work better than rubber cement, but the more durable fix would be a 2-part epoxy. I decided not to reuse the rubber pads - I picked up some felt furniture pads (with adhesive backing) from Lowe’s and cut them to shape. Works better than the rubber pads, anyway.
You should expect to reattach or replace the rubber pads (sooner than later). Otherwise, it’s a good product.
The handles are decent.
Pros: They fit snug on the pull-up bar that I’m using and that gives them a solid feel. The extra rubber half ring helps keep them snug.
Cons:
-The knurling isn’t adequate, I decided to go with silicone grip tape, which helps tremendously.
- The space between handle and the top hook is very small. I scrape my knuckles every time I grip them. This makes using addition wrist/grip support not an option, which is a disadvantage when I want to use the weight vest. I took a photo and have included it.
- the length of the handle itself is almost too short, another inch would be a huge help.
So, overall, it’s just decent. I’ll continue using them but I came close to buying a different set.
One of the best” new”tool's on the market !!
