Electron Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm curious what will happen to the MM ladder and training process without available replicas. Matt, keep extra MMs in case any originals get lost in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 The real MMs already have multiple backups that were all made from the same stock at the same time, however many years ago. We're safe there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm curious what will happen to the MM ladder and training process without available replicas. Matt, keep extra MMs in case any originals get lost in the mail. For years there were no such things as replicas. That made it even more interesting! You train to get strong. We got all the way up two levels higher than the top of the pyramid too. Just for this day and just in case a Gorilla was born in the future and would close one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Is he willing to sell the biz to somebody else and consult for a few months to get them started? That person might as well just make their own line though. The whole thing with Tetting was that you were getting a gripper made by Warren. I asked about his supply chain and he ran himself out of springs anyway and said that place was also going out of business. The handles were turned by a friend of his who is similarly aged and experienced and that person doesn't care to carry on either. So really, the name is the only thing there is to sell, and the important thing with name was that Warren was doing the work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 It was sold and is now in the process of re-opening. CPW was contacted by a prospective FBBC buyer at one point, but we have not heard anything since. We would gladly carry their line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sad to hear this. Have considered starting my own line of grippers but really don't have the time to do it justice right now. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is sad to hear. I am sure however; that there are wolves at the door already, licking their greedy chops. I guess I will hold onto the Tettings I still have. Thanks for all the years Warren and some great grippers that equaled great times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Not sure how we could do this but it might be fun to have one post where we could all somehow post a Thank You with our names and send it to him for all the pleasure he has given to all of us over the years.. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
