Has Anyone Noticed That A Cold Gripper Is Harder?

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 it

but 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

I'm thinking it's cold hands, not cold grippers. I know my hands don't work quite right when they're cold.

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.

Given how cold it's been in flagstaff, maybe Rich can do a test on his RGC?

I live in MN and can assure you that cold does not affect gripper ratings.
