Default Finally installed the Gimps

Ordered them in '08 and they've been sitting on my couch ever since. Finally got my **** together and got it done. It was so easy, I wish I'd done it sooner.

They're 16". I'm about 5' 10", and if I sit up straight the grips are about shoulder level. The angle of the ends is nice too. No strain on the wrists.

Your couch is probably quite a bit more comfortable now too. Always loved the Gimps.
