Thanks -- this idea of non-rigldly hanging holds (and other climbing things) seems very useful. I've got some indoor contexts where portability helps.
Metolius for many years has made a vaguely similar hanging holds

... out of resin instead of wood.
The three pocket holds on the Metolius are deeper (but I suppose I could partly fill them with shims to make them smaller to emphasize more fingertip grip). And the three pockets are of unequal length: 4-finger, 3-finger, 2-finger (which I have no use for -- I'd prefer they all be 4-finger length). The top is nicely shaped for the palm of the hand -- to do pull-ups for arm-focused training.
Perhaps not as good for just static finger hanging as the CrusherHolds design, but more versatile for other training/warmup moves

and I can think of other uses.
