Klo Step

Name: Klo Step
Brand: Oak Club Mfg
Rating: 4.0 (3 reviews)

Oak Club Mfg’s Klo Step is a fold-away step platform that mounts to any 3”x3” power rack or squat stand via Oak Club’s MagPin hitch-pin system (pins sold separately). It’s built from welded 1/4” and 3/16” steel plate, lined with 1/4” UHMW where it contacts the rack, and topped with a custom ghosted-grip-tape platform (10” x 11-1/2”) for traction. Two built-in magnets let it fold flush against the rack and snap shut when not in use, and a handle helps with moving/storage. Reviewers and owners use it as a step-up platform, a boost to reach a high pull-up bar (especially for weighted pull-ups), a makeshift low-row foot platform, and a spot to set a phone or drink between sets. GymRadar owners rate it 4.0/5 average, praising the grippy build and color-matching customization but flagging two real tradeoffs: the aggressive grip tape can scratch a rack’s powder coat, and in a half-rack setup you may need to remove a spotter arm to get real height out of it, which limits its value as a dedicated step-up tool for some users.

What is a Rack Attachment?

What rack attachments are

Rack attachments bolt or pin onto a power rack or squat stand to expand what it can do — J-cups and safety arms/straps (the essentials), plus dip bars, a landmine, a lat pulldown, weight-plate storage, roller J-cups, and more. They turn a rack into a whole gym.

Compatibility comes first

An attachment must match your rack’s upright size (2x2, 2x3, or 3x3) and hole pattern/hardware (e.g. 5/8-in vs 1-in holes, Westside spacing). Attachments are usually series-specific — a Monster Lite J-cup won’t fit an Echo upright — so confirm the fit before buying.

The Klo Step earns consistent praise for its build and its range of uses – step-up platform, pull-up bar reach assistance, makeshift low-row foot platform, and a seat/drink holder between sets – backed by a magnetic fold-away design that both GymRadar owners and YouTube reviewers called out as well executed. Build quality is the clear standout (GymRadar rates it 4.67/5 on that dimension; both Garage Gym Reviews and Illuminati Iron praised the welded steel, UHMW rack lining, and custom grip tape). Value is the weakest dimension: GymRadar owners rate it only 3.00/5 there, and two of three reviewers flagged real tradeoffs – the aggressive grip tape can scratch a rack’s powder coat, and in a half-rack setup you may need to remove a spotter arm to get meaningful height out of it as a step-up tool. It’s best suited to home-gym owners who want a premium, customizable accessory and can live with those quirks, less so as a pure value pick.

+Functionality: genuinely multi-use -- step-ups, pull-up bar reach (especially for weighted pull-ups), a makeshift low-row foot platform, and a seat/drink holder (manufacturer page, GymRadar, both YouTube reviews)
+Build quality: welded 1/4" and 3/16" steel plate with 1/4" UHMW rack protection and custom grip tape; GymRadar rates build quality 4.67/5 and both YouTube reviewers praised the fit and finish
+Versatility: folds flush against the rack via two built-in magnets when not in use, so it doesn't stay in the way between uses (GymRadar, Illuminati Iron)
+Functionality: custom color-matching to a rack's finish, called out by a GymRadar owner as a reason to buy (GymRadar)

−Value: GymRadar owners rate value only 3.00/5, and one reviewer called it "not the best value step up" compared to cheaper options seen at commercial gyms (GymRadar)
−Durability: the aggressive grip tape can scratch a rack's powder coat, per two of three GymRadar owner reviews
−Functionality: in a half-rack setup, using it for real step-up height may require removing a spotter arm, limiting its usefulness for that specific use case (GymRadar)
−Durability: little independent long-term ownership data beyond three GymRadar reviews -- no source speaks to wear over years of use
