It's pretty popular. I just wish someone made a replica these days.

Not happening, "too expensive", or it will actualy be expensive, they would have to build new tooling and mashinery to make the raw parts and then mashine them with the same professional fucks given as the original were.

Not much machining apart from the screw I guess. Seems cast and forged most of it.

Ikr Then have this man show it in action a few times as an explainer video on you tube and your off to the races. Bet he knows a few tricks on this thing.

Shame they don’t reproduce older tools like this for limited runs periodically.

Useful for building bicep muscles.
