Must have if you have a longy bar. Makes this thing perfect to use for lat pull downs. They’re thick and made of a comfortable material. The knurl id say is mediumish

This is under hyped as a lat pull down bar when paired with the D-Grips. It’s the perfect width for my natural shoulder position on lat pull downs and the grips are comfy. Very versatile for a home gym and can be used for landmine movements, connecting cable stacks, etc. I also have a Rep lat pull down bar I may sell because this fills that role and more. Also lighter in weight.

This is the most under hyped piece of home gym equipment. I use it mainly on the front foot of my Dane 2.0 as a lat pull down seat to get good ROM on lat pull downs. It isn’t bulky, it’s light, easy to store, good material, can use it as a chest pad for chest supported rows, back pad for strict bis and tris, etc.
