bruce1337 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Need help identifying this rolling handle. Purchased it off a guy in Sweden on FB marketplace. He does not know who made it. Handle size: 65mm Total weight: 4kg It is a solid steel handle that spins freely around the smaller shaft. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Pete Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 If this is not a homemade handle, one of its kind I would be very surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Browne Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 My guess will be the first edition rolling handle from "Fat Bastard Barbell Co". (?) Called it the Crusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called it the Crusher. I am cancelling my guess. The handle in this post looks to have a 2 piece bar welded where the carabiner hooks. Fat Bastards was formed all in one piece bend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connectors that hold the handle in place look very similar though. Could there have been an older model with a welded piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he could have had differing versions of the Crusher. Search content for this verification is slim now and difficult to find. At least for me it is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdckr Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It looks like a FBBC crusher to me. I have two of them pictured below. The one on the left is a first generation crusher I bought from John directly. The one on the right is a later (2nd?) generation crusher that I bought from a gripboard member. The later gen on the right was still before John sold FBBC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to finally ID the handle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
