Ridiculous price that would never meet Uncle Gruntbrain’s Hyper-frugal Seal of Approval so I’m passing.

What I discovered:
A 60cc palm size plastic supplement bottle will hold 11 oz of .177 std BB's.
A 150cc supplement bottle will hold 1.8+ lbs of BB's.
A 187ml wine single plastic bottle will hold 2.1 lbs of BB's.
I never bothered to find an average BB/measure, I just put in as many as I reasonably could without hitting the cap.
I use them in equal wt pairs for swinging & twisting occasionally.

...personally I'd say, someone's brains would have to be scrambled for even considering the purchase of egg-weights.

Those fancy ones DO have a finger hole thing, one advantage over my DIY's.
I think weighted gloves would be ideal (per glove) @ 1# pair and 2# pair. Then I could relax my grip and be really loose. I just haven't treated myself yet.

I don't want to poach your post, but anyone who shells out that much for those certainly won't be buying them by the dozen. Some may chicken out when they see the price tag. Others may regard the price as a poultry amount to pay. Feather they do or not is of course up to them. |

I see nobody but me and Macky are too egg-cited about this thread... You're not wrong Mags. Apart from perhaps one or two eggceptions, they're a hard-boiled bunch. They are more interested in eggserting themselves under the yolk of heavy iron. Basted's ! |
