Increase your grip strength with our new Quad Block. Featuring 4 comfortable pinch sizes that have been specifically designed for reliable testing and training. The updated design now engages the key forearm and hand flexor muscles used when climbing. Develop a comprehensive and balanced grip system for improved performance on all holds.
Our Quad Pinch Block also features a 30mm pick up edge. Great for beginners or for rehab on injured fingers with a progressive load, whilst experienced climbers can use it as part of an effective no-hang finger flexor training set-up.
The new anodised aluminium finish provides consistent surface friction for accurate results that is even kinder to skin! Test your pinch and crimp strength using our free My Pinch assessment (instructions included) to find out whether you’re strong or weak for your climbing grade.

I’ve been wanting something to train my pinch grip for years and the quad block does everything I need it to. Super sweet set up with 4 different widths and depths which I like as my training workouts can then be longer and more varied. I’d say that the grips are quite different when it comes to difficulty so you can build up your lifts over time. My go-to is wide and deep for building the pounds up. So far the durability has been excellent and has travelled to the gym, cliffs and hung around at home. Thanks to Lattice for making another great product!

Very well made Training tool with various options.
HOWEVER, there are some downsides you should be aware of.
If these don’t matter to you, go for it.
1. (Minor)The stabilazation of the device CAN be a little bit fiddly. For perfect comfort and stability you would probably need designated options to fix the rope.
2. (Major) For me the de-burred but still relaitvely sharp edges always cut through the rope. After only 1 month of intense use for various experimentations in grip training, the original rope is 50% cut through. I had to round all the edges manually which took me about 2-3h with the tools I had availeable.
I doo understand, that this is maybe a hard to fix problem for them, but it still was quite annoying.
However, now that it’s done, I am very happy with the tool and use ir regularely.
However the version made up from Wwood MIGHT have been the better option for me.

Wonderful training device – improvement has come quickly and I definitely notice it on the wall. I’m doing a simple routine of 10 x 10s near max holds after handboarding, with the “wide and deep” option, on the minute, alternating hands, and delighted with the results. The width and depth options are just great; I’m sure I’ll eventually use them all.

Really nice tool! Feels and looks really well made. Real eye-catcher. Only minus is the corners could be rounded/beweled; they’re not sharp so that you’ll cut yourself but I think it’d make the feeling of the product even nicer 🙂

Really impressed with this tool! Would like to see the edge beveled where the rope runs through to extend life in future iterations, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Would also love to see a straight vertical quad block option eventually!

Really impressed with the quality and design. It is quite expensive but worth it because there’s so much to it, plus it comes with a training guide and all set up with hanging cord. Extremely comfortable to train with.
