I think we changed your width numbers just a bit to allow for a little bit more play from left to right but your compression number seems to be spot on. From the little bit I played with knocking tubes out (not shown in the vid) they're held really well.

The claw is designed to be used when horizontal with the ground and approximately .5-.75" off of the ground. The issues you see me having with pickup were because I was struggling to hold both the drill and the claw in the correct orientation so the bottom roller would hit the ground and kick the claw back.
