Chadd 916 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 They're actually not too bad. One of the guys on my team has them on his old Salming boots and he hasn't had any problems with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they had some legal trouble with them being too similar to the Tuuks though and changed them to Crew, so these would be closeout models.

jimmy 194 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Crows or Crews are just fine. George Crow was involved with the initial development of the Tuuk and has been in the hockey business for 40 + years.I bought a whole bunch of these holders for $4.88, steel and holder combo. I use them for the cheap bastards who don't want to dish out the $$ for a new Tuuk. The steel is fine, better quality than Bauer IMO, and the holders are solid, will last long time. Go for it if the price is less than $1! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive heard some good things about them, nothing bad about that holder, its pretty durable, and you cant beat the price The Crews on the Rebellions I tried were pretty bad. Rebellion has a new holder this year that is actually pretty nice. It's like a Cobra or ICM but uses the same type of attachment system as a Tuuk Custom + and will come in white or clear.

jimmy 194 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Flite also used them. Others too. I actually like the way the tuuk steel mounts sideways like CCM. I hate the Tuuk mounting system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krog7d7 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 For those of you who know...I have some Mission boots that are 7.5.Hockeygiant has these holders available for size 8.Will size 8 fit my 7.5's? Is there a size range? Or do they make them exact? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3795 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Probably not. If I'm not mistaken the 7.5 is what, a 254 or 263 in a Mission Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 Not too bad from what I recall. I haven't seen them in quite a while though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thunderbirds_are_go 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 There's no scam about them - they're just a discontinued model that hockeygiant want to get rid of. We got a stack of them in when they were about $4 a set to put on skates the same as Jimmy. No problems with them at all. Quality wise they're just as good as any other holder (Tuuk, pro-lite3, whatever), just a different design. I haven't skated on them myself so I can't say what they're most like, but that would be the only issue with them that I could think of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
