I have been interested in trying these handles, and grabbed a pair off the swapping and selling. I actually needed a set for my first 6 cavity mold that was also in route. These were advertised as the old style, and I suppose they are, because even with all the different holes they don't come close to fitting the lee. This is not a problem as I have a new to me NOE 2c mold that I needed handles for.
The last holes do line up and work on the NOE and it closes the mold and locks tight which I like, but when closing them you either have to jiggle them or use yoru hand to line up the pins on the mold. Is this normal, it seems it would put undue wear on the pins and alignment holes, which I don't need to do.
I haven't tried them on lyman molds yet to see if they work better on them.
