Thank you Doug. Not yet. Luckily it's not too painful just really really tight.  I'm pretty confident it's from using a much shorter loading pin now with the crusher handle. To me anyways, it turned it into a while new lift.  It's just my lower backs way of telling me if I'm going to lift the inch I can't neglect it. 

thank you for your grip advice

Great stuff bro! I still wanna see an ostlund session one day! 

Hope your back is feeling better...

Thank you! I can't remember exactly when they first came out. But I recall thinking they were cool at the time. For some reason (probably because it would take away from my blob budget) I didn't bite. Then I got more into collecting and I regretted not getting them when I had the chance. So I couldn't pass them up when I saw this Garage Sale.
