The PocketMaster is a compact solid wood training block designed for finger strength and grip development through loaded hangs and dead hang training. At 90 × 100 × 30 mm and 190 g, it fits in a gym bag and can be used anywhere — at home, at the gym, or at the crag. It offers four edge depths (6, 10, 14, and 18 mm) and two pinch surfaces (30 mm and 100 mm), covering the range of grip positions relevant to both climbing training and finger rehabilitation. For climbers returning from injury, the variety of edge depths allows precise load management during progressive tendon loading protocols.

Description
How is the PocketMaster used in finger rehabilitation?
The multiple edge depths allow you to select a grip position and depth that matches your current rehabilitation stage and tissue tolerance. Combined with a weight loading pin or a pulley system, it can be used for controlled isometric and dynamic loading of the finger flexor tendons — a key component of structured pulley and tendon rehab programs.
What edge depth should I start with during rehab?
Deeper edges (18 mm) place less stress on the finger flexor tendons and pulleys and are the appropriate starting point during rehabilitation. Shallower edges (6 mm) increase tendon load significantly and should only be introduced later in the rehab process under physiotherapist guidance.
How does this compare to a full-sized hangboard?
A full hangboard mounts permanently to a wall and offers more grip variety. The PocketMaster is designed for portability and targeted use — it is better suited for climbers who travel, train at multiple locations, or need a specific tool for rehabilitation exercises rather than a comprehensive training setup.
