Anyone know anyone for screw on crimps?  had a look and most of them are either foot holds or fairly non discriptive :-\

Dylans crimps with the stars on them were pretty good for steep boards.

Moon screw-ons?

Wood?

I heard that in some places people use the same holds for feet and hands - maybe try using screw on foot 'holds' for what you want. Might be a rural myth though.


Sorry, sobriety driving me mad.

I appreciate that this may well be pretty obvious, but definately drill pilot holes and countersink them, before you attach them to your board (esp. if they're really small) to prevent ridiculously annoying hold splittage at the end of what would otherwise be a really satisfying hold shaping day. Also turn the torque setting down on your gun.

use hardwood if you can, you can make the holds smaller with less risk of them splitting

especially if you're going to stand on them at all, the corners rapidly disappear from softwood holds.
