Paul Markowski Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It has come to my attention that the Heavy Grips 500 is the toughest gripper ever to close! Is that a fact? To date, no one has officially closed it (as far as I know). In addition, since Heavy Grips do not manufacture the 500 anymore, does anyone know how I might be able to buy one (used???)?

I would venture out to say a Tetting Pro and World Class would be grippers no one has closed (not having it clamped; attempting it with a mms set) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks that there may be more than a few grippers out there that are way tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Markowski Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just heard about a Beef Builder Hercules (1800 lbs. to close)....anyone try that one out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a novelty gripper. No one can close that. In fact, a machine press probably couldn't because the gripper would most likely break before the handles touched. I think someone on the board tested it by hanging weights from the handle. I don't remember how much they had on it but I remember it was a whole lot and handle barely moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 GHP10 is another gripper that has never been closed but it's probably possible for a human to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it can be used in some way for training. Vano has closed a GHP 10 choked deep and Tommy Jennings has chest crushed one (Do bending exercise). The Hercules is only gripper I am 100% confident can not be used in anyway for training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Vano is a beast. I didn't know anyone had chest crushed this gripper, is there a vid of Tommy doing that somewhere? The Hercules gripper might be useful for some strong people to train their LEGS with if you rig up something that makes it possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I remember Tommy took a lot of videos down. He is one of the strongest DO benders of all time so it didn't surprise me that he was able to do it.
