I got one of those once.  The next morning, without thinking about it, 
dead-lifted it to move it from the front seat to the back seat of my
car (a '87 Firebird at the time).

That evening, I started to get sore.  The next morning, I could
literally not walk.  I'd pulled that many muscles without realizing
it. 

Be careful!  Old hardware is DANGEROUS! 8-)
