This is a simple single-finger block-pull setup for finger training and rehab for rock climbers.

I designed the cord hole to be perpendicular to the finger hole to eliminate the possibility of uneven pressure on the cord strands causing the block to rotate away from the finger causing it to slip.

Training Using No-Hangs:

• Finger/forearm strength training using no-hangs/block-pulls can be a safe and easily controlled training method.  However, all training comes with risks that can be easily mitigated with good knowledge and a cautious approach.  Stop if you feel pain in your fingers or hands take a moment to assess what caused it and whether it is safe to continue.  Below are some excellent resources that will get you started safely with finger/forearm training if this is new to you:
