Cable NuB

Cable NuB

The Mutant Metals Cable NuB is a play on the traditional hammer grip attachment. The stainless handle length is shortened to just under 3 inches to fit in the palm of most people and to provide additional clearance when doing movements close to the body. The handle itself freely floats in between a stainless and nylon washer to allow the handle to spin freely or if you prefer a fixed handle, the nut at the top can be tightened to eliminate spin. Combine a pair with chains or dual cables for incredible feeling face pulls, tricep extension, and curls to name a few.

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.
