Second, I'm a huge fan of landmine shoulder press and rows after a dislocation a couple months ago. They're a lot safer on the joint than a full shoulder press, but they also let you use a little more weight than a regular dumbbell press. Sort of the "best of both worlds." Doing one side at a time also helps you focus on form.
But I'm so happy with my tennis ball method — cut an X in a ball (about halfway around) and open the slits and insert barbell. I place it right up against the base of my rack, but in the corner of a wall would be even better. It uses up no extra plates and takes almost no space. If I had a ton of space and plates, this device is still preferable.
Does anyone do whats shown on picture 6?
Seems like you would damage the finish on an expensive bar with a $5 handle, not to mention the potential to slip and injure yourself.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like a stupid idea...

this is done all the time, doesn't ruin the finish, and if you mean some cosmetic scratches....well... that's what happens to workout equipment if you actually use it lol.
FYI the link now takes you to a 3rd party seller for $19.99. Still Prime, but you'll probably prefer changing seller to Amazon for 3 cents more, just in case.

Thinking of getting this and drilling a hole for it in a 4"x4" block and then mounting it against the wall with a couple L brackets. Could maybe double as vertical barbell storage with a retention device at the top of the barbell to hold it in place against the wall. Ideas?

No idea why he's in the center of the bar or what he's doing with that body positioning, but it's very common to use the v-handle right up against the collar for bent over rows. I would much more highly recommend doing a Meadows row though, or really anything with a better line of pull. Without getting too deep into biomechanics, these v-bar handles aren't "ideal" for much, except maybe doing BANA 2:1 type pulls.

I do the tennis ball method too, works well in the garage gym.

Put a piece of rubber in between if you're concerned

This is about like getting the V-handle for free. IMHO, there are better t-bar row attachments that fit on your rack that would be a better deal, though they are a few dollars more.
I always wonder about the safety of these that are designed to fit into plates.

I might be too busy this fall to actually get to the gym so why not
