Yes, I was confused. I'm still interested. Would love to hear from someone using them.
I think you have these mixed up with the plastic prop locks that go over the self tightening props.
These are metal versions of the plastic hubs that come with the quick release props. Not prop locks at all but the hub that the QR props mount onto.

I have no affiliation with the seller apart from purchasing a set of the prop locks, I live in Northern Scotland. My Inspire was purchased with the QR props already fitted. To be honest I've had no issues with the standard QR prop mounts, done well over 50 flights with no wear or cracks noted. I've learnt a lot from the Inspire forums however some posts regarding the realibility of the mounts (with no real substance I have to say) just puts that niggling doubt in the back of your head.They sell Ferrari and Lambo's everyday too, but it doesn't mean that the general population can afford them. Wealthy people are not as affected by "price gouging" as much as the rest of us. I bet the 60 sets were sold to guys who have no need to care about gas prices either. (I envy them).
Now,
if you told me they were twice as good, I would believe you
if you told me they were 3 times as good, I would order a set
but valued at over 6 times as good, that's simply too much for me/average population.
are you a friend or owner?
Better than plastic
Just out of interest are the stock ones plastic? They don't feel like plastic to me, they almost have a graphite like texture to them.

To those who are bitching about the price.
Walk into your local millwright.
Ask them for a quote to make them up.
I'd be surprised if they said less than $500.

Playing Devils advocate here, do these super hardened, titanium, Kryptonite hubs not just transfer the wear from the cams to the props?
Additional, possibly accelerate the wear since you now have plastic in contact with metal (Kryptonite) and thus the props will not last the estimated 200 flights due to slot wear?
Thanks for that - the metal hubs seem a better option.Being devils advocate and deciding to sacrifice props. I did the 50 on off prop test with the Alloy Hubs (RimTai) and then had a look at the prop wear.. I'm afraid there was none.. On top of that I've had 20 more flights with that same prop and still no wear...
I did a service on an Inspire with 50 flights on it a week ago (and the owner had done zero maintenance) and this is what I found on all 4 hubs (excuse the finger nails - they are all gone from worrying about this ****). There was no wear on the props at all.. but the hubs are soft and easily damaged during installation and removal. This to me means the props will still last 200 flights with proper installation.View attachment 2638
Sit down, shutt up, and have one of theseCarlo wrote: "Best $50.00 I spent"
Sarcasm will not help sell these overpriced prop locks [emoji14]
$12.50 each vs $2.00 each.
If they were twice as good as the OE they would cost $4.00 each
But seller claims they are more than six times as good, costing $12.50 each
I'm a buyer at (3 times as good) $6 each or $24
LMK when the price is more reasonable -

The question is, when Moses tells you to get on the Ark and the sky is blue, do you get on the Ark? My advice to you is get on the Ark
And here I am watching Back To The Future. Lol!Sorry, I had to chuckle. Moses would need to time travel, it was Noah who did the Ark thing ☺
