The 28mm Recruitment Edge (28MAX) is a deep, flat edge built for one job: producing maximum force.

At 28mm your entire fingertip pad sits on the face, and the rounded front lip cradles the joint behind it, so there's no hard pressure point at the DIP. The hold stops being the limiting factor, which lets you focus on pulling as hard as possible instead of fighting to stay on a small grip.

Deep edges naturally invite an open-hand position, which makes the 28MAX ideal for high-load hangs, recruitment work, and heavy pulls. You train intensity on a stable, predictable edge, without leaning on aggressive crimp positions or fighting your fingers' position on the edge.

The tradeoff is straightforward. This isn't a small-edge strength tool, and it isn't a benchmark-testing edge. For most climbers, the 20mm edge stays the standard for measuring finger strength. The Recruitment Edge does a different job: it removes grip limitation so force production becomes the focus.

The 28mm depth has a deeply rounded front lip that's comfortable on the skin and seats naturally in the hand. Clip it straight to a Load Dyno, or attach it to a loading pin for off-the-ground lifts.

Available with your choice of cord color. Carabiner not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dual Edge 28MAX Recruitment Edge? +
The Dual Edge 28MAX Recruitment Edge is a dedicated 28mm loading edge designed for maximum force production. Its deep, flat profile minimizes grip limitations, making it ideal for max hangs, heavy pulls, and recruitment-focused finger training.
Why train on a 28mm edge? +
A 28mm edge allows more of the fingertip pad to contact the surface than smaller training edges. This makes it easier to apply high loads and focus on force production without being limited by a small grip.
Is the 28MAX a good edge for max hangs? +
Yes. The 28MAX was specifically designed for high-load finger training, including max hangs, weighted hangs, and recruitment work. The deep edge allows climbers to focus on producing force rather than simply holding onto a smaller edge.
Is the 28MAX used for finger strength testing? +
Not typically. Most climbers use a 20mm edge as the standard benchmark for finger strength testing. The 28MAX is designed as a loading tool for training rather than a standardized testing edge.
What equipment do I need to use the 28MAX? +
The 28MAX is compatible with standard loading pins, weight plates, resistance systems, and Tindeq devices. No permanent mounting or wall installation is required.
Can I attach the 28MAX directly to a Tindeq? +
Yes. The 28MAX is sized to work directly with Tindeq devices, making it easy to measure force output, perform recruitment pulls, or track finger strength over time.
Is the 28MAX portable? +
Yes. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it easy to pack in a climbing bag, training kit, or travel setup. Train at the gym, crag, hotel, or home without permanent installation.
Who is the 28MAX for? +
The 28MAX is designed for climbers looking to increase finger force production through max hangs, heavy loading, and recruitment work. It is especially useful for climbers who want a dedicated high-load training edge alongside smaller benchmark edges.
