Using them for curls, I fear the dumbbells will slip out if I lift much higher than horizontal. Palms always have to be facing up so there is limited use for these hooks.

I don’t know if this will help. I don’t allow my wrists wraps of the hooks to take a lot of my weight. I just allow the hooks to assist me in holding the bar. They end up being more of a tool than a crutch and I’m actually able to do the Hangs without the hooks now.
I personally would never use them for curls or actually anything other than dead hanging. What I can lift is what I can lift.
Judith, thanks for the links. I’ll check them out. It’s funny about the 4&5th digits. I’ve actually noticed that. It’s one reason I can’t imagine using the hooks with a solid plastic hook. My 4&5th fingers “need” to hold onto the bar for me to feel secure.
