locking mold handles

I might be interested in buying another set of locking mold handles. When I bought the ones I have, there were at least two companies making them, if I remember correctly. I note that Buffalo Arms sells locking mold handles, but only one type. Are there any other choices available? just want to know what my options are before I pull the trigger. 
Thanks!

Anyone have a bad experience with them?

Yes, I do. I’ve had a set for about three or four years now. They worked well and I modified mine a little bit by putting a small piece of dowel rod on the steel handle. Makes it a little more comfortable. I also took a piece of beer can and made a shim for where the steel handle moves. The right side of the mold block to tighten it up a little bit. Overall, very pleased with them, and I get much more consistent bullets by using them.
Cheers

Joe,

I've used the aluminum one for many years & love them.  In fact I wrote an article several years ago about the differences between the aluminun & steel locking handles.  The article is listed in my archive articles on this website.  Unfortunately I'm unable to access it at this time.
