Body-Solid Tricep Handle

Name: Body-Solid Tricep Handle
Brand: Body-Solid
Rating: 3.75 (4 reviews)

This is Body-Solid’s MB504RG Pro-Grip Tricep Handle – a solid-steel cable-machine attachment with a welded flange and dual knurled, rubber-textured grips, built for tricep pressdowns, kneeling extensions, and curls on any pulley or cable machine. At 6 lbs and 12 in long, it’s a straightforward, no-frills accessory rather than a premium pick.

Five independent gym owners on GymRadar land on a consistent “gets the job done but barebones” verdict (3.80/5 average): reliable for standing pressdowns, with one reviewer calling it “great, awesome for tricep pressdowns,” but the knurling quality draws repeat complaints – one gym wrapped the grips in tape to compensate – and the flat spot on the grip can dig into the hand on higher-volume or general-population use.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.

A no-frills steel tricep pressdown handle — GymRadar’s five independent gym owners land on a consistent verdict: it “gets the job done” without being memorable. Its standout dimension is functionality: dual knurled grips and a welded steel flange handle standing pressdowns, kneeling extensions, and curls reliably, and one reviewer calls it “great for tricep pressdowns.” Build quality is the weak spot — multiple reviewers flag rough knurling (one gym wrapped theirs in tape) and a flat spot on the grip that digs into the hand on repeated use. It’s a budget-priced ($28) commodity attachment rather than a premium pick, so treat any single glowing review with caution.
