Spike Flex Plus

[CWood]

Hey Folks-

Looking hard at purchasing one of these. I use a chest freezer to control fermentation temps. I know a lot of these were sold during the 25% off sale a month of so ago. Are you owners picking up full vessels and placing them in your fermentation fridge? I read about the warning on the handles. Does it seem like a real concern? It's a no go if I can't control fermentation temps with my current set up. Thanks for any information you can offer.

I have a regular Flex. Works great in my freezer, and I do pick it up full and put it in, just not by the handles. It's pretty easy to do grabbing one leg and then the ridge at the top.

The warning is for your personal safety and not due to structural integrity.
