can I lock grips to prevent rotation?

Unfortunately no. The grips are based on the same tech as the Perfect Pushups and rotate freely. There isn't a locking option for them.

It's opposite rotation to normal. Push in the black button on the side to lock it up and loosen clockwise

It requires some firm pressure to rotate it, it will not flop around, but there is not a way (such as a button) to "turn off" the ability to rotate.

no, you can't do that. Every ball head rotates free and never choose an axis, that only depends on your firm hand.

No, they do not lock in place. That might be a useful comment to the manufacturer. If you need to prevent them from rolling buy a package of wooden hatchet handle wedges locally or from Amazon.

You have to loosen the jaws to rotate. Once the jaws are tightened around an object, it should lock. My husband removed all of the grease and replaced it with a teflon spray lubricant. He really likes it.

Yes. However you will need to rotate the grips to the correct orientation. The grips are strong enough to secure the unit.

It cannot be locked. But you could manipulate the grip by griping the cushioned lower part of the hand grip. Therefore, you will not experience the absorbing when climbing uphill. Thanks.

You can use the one from the old grips. If your old grips are rubber, you can "roll" them off.

You can tighten up the twist connection on the handle and I have never had a problem with slipping or loosening. My sister borrowed mine to trim her palm trees. She said it done a wonderful job. So good that she hasn't returned them yet.

There's no locking mechanism to control your angle. There's an adjustable strap to control the angle.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I just tried working the axis lock with my thumb only, and it's a breeze. You should not have any trouble.

You can't lock the angle in place but it's stiff enough not to move due to vibrations. Haven't had any issues with that.

The original stand does not allow that so if want to rotate change the stand hope this helps

The only way I can think of to lock them in to prevent theft of the grippers themselves would be to run some round-stock (metal bar) through the hole in the tightening handles and drill holes for locks on each end of the bar. That would prevent a thief from being able to unscrew them once they are tightened.

Actually I don't keep it from rotating. In fact at times I find it useful when I'm trying to get really close at an angle to an obstruction (like a wall). I rotate it where I want it and hold it out of the way with my finger.

No, it doesn't lock. In response to a previous reply about requiring force to swivel, our swivel easily. And I am still having to retighten the hex nuts frequently. We've even tried gluing them and it didn't work. We had to remove the arm rests because they were too much of a hastle to keep tightening.
