Megalith Open D Handles

Name: Megalith Open D Handles
Brand: Rorman Strength
Rating: 4.44 (6 reviews)

Rorman Strength’s Megalith Open D Handles are a premium cable-attachment pair built around a swiveling pivot arm – an open-D design intended to rotate around the hand and wrist through a movement rather than staying fixed, reducing the wrist/joint strain a traditional D handle can cause under load. Each handle is a 1.33” (33.8mm) stainless steel, American-made knurled grip; the pair ships with carabiners and works both as a standalone cable attachment and mounted to 1” or 5/8” pin rack lever arms. GymRadar owners rate build quality highest and value lowest – the pivot design and stainless construction draw consistent praise for craftsmanship, while the $299.99 price is repeatedly called expensive for a pair of handles.

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.

Rorman Strength’s Megalith Open D Handles earn a solid 4.44/5 across six verified GymRadar owner reviews, with build quality the clear standout – owners across the board call the stainless-steel pivot-arm construction “very nicely crafted” and “well built… fantastic grip,” and GymRadar’s build-quality subscore (5.00/5) is the sample’s strongest. Value is the weak point: at $299.99 a pair, multiple reviewers flag them as “really expensive” for what they are, and GymRadar’s value subscore (3.83/5) trails the others. Functionality is generally praised for the swivel design’s wrist comfort, though one owner noted the pivot didn’t eliminate cable rub for a specific low-position movement (cable press-arounds) even though it solved the problem for shoulder-height and overhead work. Coverage here is thin – no independent editorial reviews, YouTube reviews, or Reddit discussion of this specific open-D variant turned up (a related lever-arm product from the same brand has separate YouTube coverage, but it’s a different SKU) – so this verdict leans heavily on a six-review GymRadar sample rather than broader consensus.

+Build quality: stainless-steel pivot-arm construction consistently called "very nicely crafted" and "well built" (GymRadar owner reviews)
+Build quality: highest GymRadar subscore in the sample at 5.00/5 (GymRadar)
+Functionality: swiveling open-D pivot reduces wrist strain versus a fixed D handle for most pressing/rowing positions (GymRadar owner reviews, manufacturer)
+Functionality: fantastic grip from the American-made knurled 1.33" handle (GymRadar owner review)
+Versatility: works as a standalone cable attachment or mounted to 1" / 5/8" pin rack lever arms (manufacturer)

−Value: repeatedly flagged as expensive at $299.99/pair, GymRadar's lowest subscore at 3.83/5 (GymRadar owner reviews)
−Functionality: pivot didn't eliminate cable rub on one specific low-position movement (cable press-arounds), though it worked as intended at shoulder height and above (GymRadar owner review)
−Durability: no long-term wear data available -- only recent owner reviews, no multi-year usage reports (GymRadar)
−Coverage: no independent editorial review, YouTube video, or Reddit discussion of this specific open-D variant found -- verdict rests on a 6-review GymRadar sample (knowledge base gap)
