The smell is truly incredible. If I can figure out a way to cut these things into 4"x4” squares, I'll be a thousandaire.

Maybe you're on the verge of exploding it into hundreds of pointy plastic shards and driving them into your palms. Maybe you have no idea how accurate it is. Still fun to squeeze with the homies.

These things are built like a tank, but they're really annoying for deadlifting.

It's not super heavy-duty. Mine won't see a ton of use, so it doesn't matter, but if you're building a pulley system or something where you'll use the pin a lot, you may want a nicer one.

These are bulletproof coasters for the history enjoyer who likes to slam a brewski now and then.

I think this product may just not be for me, so take this with a grain of salt. I don't particularly like the SSB style squat with soft straps vs a rigid handle. It's very well made, just like everything Spud Inc. makes, and design seems really strong. There is a lot of easy horizontal movement possible, but I don't know how you address that from a manufacturing standpoint. It's not a problem when actually squatting, but I'll have to re-center the straps every set. Could just be an OCD issue on my part 😂. It's $80, so not cheap, but a hell of a deal for an SSB movement if this works for you.

I think these are a fairly expensive set of crumb bumpers. They work fine and they're the correct diameter, which isn't always a given. Probably too wide to be the only kind of 45s in a gym.

I was always going to go with straps vs hard safeties, so I'm already in favor of the style. They come in a few colors, a few lengths, and they do the job safeties are supposed to do.
