Standard Band Pegs

Name: Standard Band Pegs
Brand: Bells of Steel
Rating: 3.13 (5 reviews)

Bells of Steel’s Standard Band Pegs are a simple rack-mounted anchor point for resistance bands, used to add accommodating resistance to squats, rack pulls, and bench presses. They double as 1” loading pins, and buyers also use them as a handle to brace against during squats. Sold as a pair or a set of four, they come in two hole-pattern variants so they fit either 5/8” rack holes (Bells of Steel’s Hydra 3”x3” and 2.3”x2.3” racks) or the 1” holes on Manticore racks – pick the version that matches your rack, since the two aren’t interchangeable. The same peg ships as a standard accessory with several Bells of Steel racks (Utility Rack, Light Commercial 5.1), so this listing is mainly for buyers who need extra pairs or are retrofitting an older rack.

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.

Bells of Steel’s Standard Band Pegs do exactly one job — anchor a resistance band or double as a 1” loading pin — and on-site buyers say they do it well, but the manufacturer’s own 5.0/5 rating shouldn’t be read as independent proof; GymRadar’s more tempered 3.13/5 across the same handful of reviewers is the better anchor. Versatility is the standout: two hole-pattern variants cover both 5/8” rack holes and Manticore-specific 1” holes, and buyers use the same peg as a band anchor, a loading pin, and a squat handle. Build quality is the weak spot — one buyer reported surface rust on delivery, and there’s no independent teardown or long-term durability data to weigh against it.

+Versatility: doubles as a resistance-band anchor, a 1" loading pin, and a squat handle, per on-site buyer reviews
+Functionality: sold in two hole-pattern variants so it fits both 5/8" rack holes and Manticore-specific 1" holes
+Build quality: on-site reviewers call them sturdy with no reported failures during banded work
+Value: sold as a pair or 4-pack, keeping cost-per-unit reasonable for outfitting a full rack

−Build quality: at least one buyer reported surface rust on delivery (r/homegym), an inconsistent-QC anecdote rather than a pattern
−Durability: no independent long-term testing or teardown exists for this accessory
−Functionality: pure rack accessory — only useful if your rack's hole pattern matches one of the two variants offered
−Value: no meaningful price or feature advantage over comparable band pegs from REP, Titan, or other rack makers
