Screw-On Handholds - 10-Pack

Polystyrene is a lightweight and durable type of plastic that can be easily molded into various shapes. It is used for climbing holds because it provides a good balance of strength and weight, making the holds functional and easy to install. This material allows for a variety of hold shapes that can enhance your climbing experience.

Self-drilling screws are designed to create their own holes as they are driven into materials like wood. This feature eliminates the need for pre-drilling, making installation faster and more efficient. Using self-drilling screws for climbing holds means you can set up your climbing wall quickly without the hassle of additional tools.

Climbing training involves practicing techniques, strength, and skills to enhance your climbing performance. Using specialized climbing holds, like low-profile or varied shapes, can simulate real climbing conditions, helping you develop better grip, balance, and technique. This targeted training can prepare you for outdoor climbing or competitions.

Low-profile holds are designed to be less bulky and protruding than standard holds. They provide a more challenging climbing experience, requiring climbers to rely more on technique and strength. These holds are ideal for advanced training, as they push climbers to improve their skills and adaptability on the wall.

Bolt-on holds are climbing holds that are attached to a wall using bolts, requiring pre-drilled holes for installation. In contrast, self-drilling screw holds can be installed without pre-drilling, making them more versatile for various setups. While bolt-on holds are more permanent, self-drilling screw holds offer flexibility for those who want to frequently change their climbing wall configuration.

Self-drilling screws are particularly effective for holds that are designed for quick and easy installation. However, for more permanent setups or specific types of climbing holds that require a secure fit, bolt-on holds with pre-drilled holes may be more appropriate. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for the best installation method for your specific climbing holds.
