I purchased the raw 8mm original and started using it the day it got here. It's well made, allows me to add more weight to the machines, in different increments. All about progressive overload. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars is because of the length (that's what she said). Unfortunately, I can't get it in some of the weight stacks because of the machine structure, or other machines it interferes with the levers of the machine. May have to invest in the MiniPin, also. Something to consider before one makes the purchase, especially here in the States because of the S/H costs, which drove the total up to $93. Otherwise, a great addition to my training arsenal.
Thanks for the detailed review — great to hear the 8 mm Original is already helping with progressive overload.
The note on length is a fair one. Some weight stacks have tighter clearances, which is exactly why we make the MiniPin for compact machines.
We understand the impact of US shipping costs and we’re working with carriers to improve rates. Thanks again for supporting a small, British-made product — enjoy loading up the stack

Exactly what I ordered, grand product 🤞
beautiful
ordered the wrong size gym pin, hammer strength machines need a 10mm not 8mm pin. reached out on email and Berni was really helpful and helped me change my order. great service!!
Very high quality product designed as advertised. High quality milling and solid material that I feel will last a lifetime.
