Shiek Dowel Lifting Straps, anyone use these?

So i just eBay'd a pair of these, does anyone here use them and if so, how do you like them? I dont usually use straps, but i figured i might as well give them a try for things like lat pulldowns and deads when i go really heavy to help push myself harder.

these are the ones i got:

I use some that are very similar and I would have to check the brand but they are great on lifts such as chins and d-bell rows.

Yep, love 'em.
Only thing about 'em is, the more you use 'em, the less work your grip gets. So, plan to do a little more for your hands and forearms.
