Who it's for
Anyone training calisthenics rather than just doing push-ups. The height is what matters: enough ground clearance for L-sits, tucked planches and deep dips with bent knees. A low push-up handle cannot do any of that regardless of build quality.
Wooden grips are the most comfortable surface in this comparison for long sets, and they stay warm in a cold garage where steel does not.
Who it's not for
Someone who only wants their wrists to stop hurting during push-ups. That problem is solved by a $19 handle — see the Readaeer bars. Paying three times more for height you will not use is the common mistake in this category.
They are also not drawer-sized. Tall parallettes take cupboard space.
