LebaneseChampion Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 hi, i tried to search if this topic was discussed before but couldn't find it.since winter is here, my grippers are really cold, like 10-15 degrees celcius lower. has anyone of you noticed they get any harder when cold? i mean i know when metal is heated up it becomes easier to bend, but probably like a thousand degrees or so... could 15 degrees affect it in anyway? is there a formula for that? i couldn't find itbut it might be my cold muscles ... hard to warm up in the cold so i was not at my best, thus i felt them harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm thinking it's cold hands, not cold grippers. I know my hands don't work quite right when they're cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba29 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 although with physics in mind, this makes sense. but the melting point of steel is about 1500 C. i doubt a change from 30 to 15 C would result in stiffening of the steel that a human hand could notice.

Cannon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I agree that I think it's the affect on the hand and not anything about the steel. Along these lines: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=37615&p=523369 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Given how cold it's been in flagstaff, maybe Rich can do a test on his RGC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33wes Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Put your hands under warm water for 5 minutes to help your warm up :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
