Has anyone used these at all and if so do they work?

Thinking they may be handy for Floor Press and Shoulder Press.

Bizzarely.. considering how shite my gym is, theres a couple of sets kicking around in there.

Ive never used them but ive seen other people use them and they seem handy for getting bigger DBs up for things like shoulder press if you cant snatch them up.

DB's jump from 40kg to 47.5kg which is too much to get into position for Shoulder Press or Floor Press so figure they may be handy.

Also seen Power Hooks going for £40.00 which seemed reasonable.
