Danglers

Name: Danglers
Brand: Darko Lifting
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)

The Danglers are a 3D-printed, avocado-shaped cable handle from Darko Lifting, sold as a pair and designed to fill the palm for a secure grip on single- or two-handed cable work. A stainless steel eyebolt at the narrow end clips or slides onto a cable attachment, and the shape holds the cable close to the hand to cut down on wrist torque during moves like rear delt flies, tricep pushdowns, and hammer curls. The grippy printed texture holds up well under load according to owner reviews, though the handle is fixed — it doesn’t swivel — and lacks the flared base some aluminum alternatives use to take grip strength out of heavier pulls. At $45 for the pair, reviewers repeatedly point to the price as the strongest selling point, calling it a cheap, underrated way to add isolation-movement versatility to an existing cable setup. It ships in 16 color options.

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.

The Danglers are a cheap, well-loved way to add a rear-delt-fly and tricep-pushdown grip option to any cable setup, and reviewers consistently single out value as the standout — a 3D-printed pair costs a fraction of an aluminum handle like Porter PhysEd’s Eclipse Grips while still feeling secure in hand. Versatility is the weak spot: the avocado shape doesn’t swivel, so it’s a one-trick attachment for unilateral/bilateral fly, pushdown, and curl work rather than something that adapts to a wide range of movements, and one comparison reviewer noted heavier pulls challenge your grip more than a flared-base alternative. Buy them as a low-cost add-on for isolation cable work, not as a do-everything handle.

+Value: $45/pair, 3D-printed, described by reviewers as "amazing grip trainer for the cost" and "can't beat the price for these" (manufacturer site reviews, GymRadar)
+Build quality: grippy 3D-printed texture with a stainless steel eyebolt attachment point; reviewers report no slippage even on heavier pulls (Andy - Underground YouTube review, GymRadar)
+Functionality: short attachment length keeps the cable close to the hand, reducing wrist torque on rear delt flies, tricep pushdowns, and hammer curls (Home Gym Con 2025 comparison video, GymRadar reviewers)
+Versatility: works one- or two-handed for unilateral and bilateral isolation movements (manufacturer, GymRadar reviewers)

−Versatility: fixed position with no swivel/rotation, unlike rotating handle alternatives — a limitation the Underground YouTube reviewer specifically flags as a wish-list item
−Functionality: no flared base to press against, so heavier pulls rely more on raw grip strength than competitors like Porter PhysEd's Eclipse Grips (Home Gym Con 2025 comparison video)
−Durability: little independent long-term testing data beyond owner reviews at time of writing — no failures reported, but the track record is short
