yea tried to use it before but the fucker just wanted to slide around and felt very unsafe. BTW, i have dual springs if it makes a difference...

I just rented one from advance. And used one of those extendable magnet type deals with a light on the end to keep track of the keepers.

I've seen the one at advance and people say they have problems with it. I'm currently looking for the same thing or at least someone willing to help me put a head together.
