Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. I bought them on impulse and as a bit of a leap of faith because I have a 2x2, I inch hole rack, but I felt like I would be able to make it work. I purchased F and F Steel's 5/8-to-1 inch pin adapters, and with a few strategically placed shims and some felt furniture pads, they fit really well. Not ideal, but it works!
With that all dialed in, I have been getting daily use out of these. I especially like these for- shoulder/chest presses and chest supported rows on an incline bench, calf raises and shrugs. I've also been able to attach them to my rack's low row system to have better constant tension through many of these exercises.
The awesome thing about these is that they are really only limited by imagination. I knew lever arms were a shot in the dark given that they are often described as the biggest home gym regret for many people, but I'm really thrilled with them.
