Is there a way of preventing the handles from twisting? I want to be able to do neutral grip pull ups on my power tower.

My handles click and lock when open. It does not lock in the folded position.

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

The chin up bar nor the dip bars exceed the length of the base. So your body weight does not throw it off balance. I weigh 190 and I attach a 25lb weight to myself and I can do both wide grip and close grip pull-ups. Keep in mind, this machine isn't anchored to the floor. With enough aggressive shaking, it can lose its balance. Hope this helps.

No. My handle was always loose and couldn't be tightened all the way. It's junk. Pass on it or send it back! It's defective!

Hi Zack and thanks for your interest in Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots. These items are intended to be used primarily with Teeter Inversion Bars, Inversion Racks, and Inversion Therapy Tables. While we can not recommend using them with an outside brand (power tower pull up bar) as we cannot vouch for the limitations and guidelines of Power Tower's design, we definitely recommend the product as they are very comfortable and long-lasting. Thanks again and hope you have a relaxing day! -Your Friends at The Unwind Company

If you did not, you have to push down slightly as you are twisting it. I hope this helps.

It is a little awkward to keep rolling out of the way. I put a desk over it and there are no handles at the end to do the lifting. I would also have to unplug it to keep moving it, because of where my plug is located. Hope that helps!

No, the pull-up bar is not very stable. I used it for a year or so but wasn't comfortable with it and donated about 2 months ago, I wish if you had asked this question earlier then I may have shipped it to you...

Use the safety brackets that come with the bar. I didn't at first, and after some fast pullups, where I was slowly twisting the wrong direction with each pull, it slipped out.

turn and set to the angle you want then tighten the handle down on what ever is in the vise when its tight it will stay at the angle you tighten to.

The twist style resistance knob can be cranked down so that the cranks barely move. The hand positioning should'nt make a difference. A good machine.

Mine turns with the stiffness you want (so it doesn't slip easily) but it's not uncomfortably tight and moves freely when turned. Try working it a bit to see if it just needs the tightness worked out of it. Otherwise you may want to swap it if you think it hurts your ability to freely make adjustments.

Answer here..I have been using mine quite regularly and my handle does not need to be constantly tightened. You might want to try a drop or two of glue to hold it securely.

there are two grip settings. you're probably using the one meant for thicker vents. Rotate the back 90 degrees and use the tighter one.

For me, when I use the mill, the handle seems to lock into place. Rather than trying to rotate it and loosen it, I rock it slightly up and down, just enough to break the hold, and then it lifts off.
