Randall Strossen Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 IronMind makes this product and is a board sponsor. http://www.ironmind.com/ Thank you! Also, Alex can check around for a used one and probably save some money and sometimes we have some with little cosmetic flaws that we can sell at a discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but i dont know where i should be looking to find them at a discount price. im in the UK aswell which adds to the P+P costs. the cheapest one ive seen around so far is made by Robert Baraban, which says alot. in all fairness he makes quality stuff, but his prices are on the higher end of the scale.

Thanks in advance. Make picture with dimensions you like and take it to some vocational school. They make it in no-time and propably you pay only for metal used.

Cannon Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 ...and again, we urge you to support our sponsors! They make our wonderful forum possible (and free). You're welcome to post a "wanted" ad, but we would discourage openly sourcing a knock-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome to post a "wanted" ad, but we would discourage openly sourcing a knock-off. This is a tough balancing act so I wanted to thank Alex for his interest in the Titan's Telegraph Key and Matt for his interest in supporting Gripboard sponsors. I can also understand that it can be a budget stretch, especially living in the UK, so as far as where to check on a used one, I wonder if one of the UK grip guys might have a lead for you, in addition to the ads on the Gripboard. Also, I can't fault someone for making his own equipment, especially if it can save him some money, but I'm not big on the guys who simply ride on other companies' coattails by making knockoffs, although I know this happens all the time. Bottom line: Good luck finding a TTK at a reasonable price—your pinch grip strength will soar when you start training on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 As one who makes his own equipment at times, and buys used, I also buy a fair amount from our sponsors. I bought 5 grippers from IM last year, for myself and family. I purchase online installments of MILO. My family also ordered stuff I requested from FBBC as well. I think if one is able, it's important to support our sponsors since they do so much to promote the sport, information sharing, and best practices.

Scott Styles Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 To the OP - you might want to check around and see how the strongest guys are fitting the TTK into their training before investing in one. I think you'll find most don't. Guys seem to end up using pony clamps, thick bar, block weights, and / or two hand pinch far more often.

Jones1874 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 i appreciate the replys. i can see where some of you are coming from when mentioning supporting IM, and i can completely understand. im pretty new to this site as of recently, even though i joined a good few months ago, i can see why this site means alot to everyone. it definately has alot to offer. and i also apologise if i offended anyone by asking someone to russle up a TTK for cheap. truth is, i buy alot of stuff, and i make alot of stuff. some of the home made stuff works even better, but you cant buy it since its not for sale.

mgalovic Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Why not make your own for dirt cheap: http://rosstraining.com/blog/2013/10/01/homemade-finger-exerciser-video-tutorial/ I made one of these for myself using a 2x4 and a pvc pipe. I keep it on my work bench. Works great when I feel like going out to the garage to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 As mentioned, if you want cheap, you can work that range of motion with a 2x4 on the edge of a table with something round underneath it as a fulcrum. If you want an apples to apples comparison to other people, you should get the authentic piece of equipment. Sponsor scratch and dent sales is an awesome idea, I would love to see some of that.
