OK. What diameter and of U-bolt stock is being used? 1/2" diameter are used on leaf springs. Would that help? A junkyard item?
I may have access to leaf spring U-bolts, so just curious on thoughts?

Thanks for posting this Bruv. Although I like the Hook handles this is very easy. Lucky Bruce retired.

I'm starting to envision something using two of the fixtures that hold toilet paper rolls on the bathroom wall.

A fitness device whose time has come. This is sure to leave those other resistance band manufacturers gnashing their teeth on their psychiatrist’s couches.

This simple design can be easily duplicated and improved upon by DIY types...

Bruv's idea is a good one. It's inspiring. I was in WalMart today .... BTW, saw very few masked .... maybe 5% to 10% at most, but even the cashier commented that they were unusually busy. I found this there: .... for $7 each, so I bought two. Rated to hold 50# which I figure is more than I will pull on bands. I'm going to check it out.

Just tried the Wrap-It handle/straps with 3 of Bruce's black bands. Seems to work fine.

Thanks for posting this Bruv. Although I like the Hook handles this is very easy. Lucky Bruce retired. I also have the Hook handles. I'm in the middle of a two week lockdown and got a bit bored so I was looking for something to do and when Bruce announced he had closed up his equipment business I started trying to think up ways people that didn't have the skills or tools to make Hook handles could make their own handles. This guy also made some handy handles. www.tapatalk.com/groups/strandpulling/homemade-strandpulling-handles-for-tubing-loops-t1353.html

I suppose it's inevitable that Bruv would lead the way.
