Dexstroyer88 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They Look similar to the Heavy Grip grippers and I just ordered the BC400 & BC500.(should be here tomorrow) my ? Is..does anyone own these grippers and how do they compare to the HG 400 & 500 (or any heavy rated gripper)? I appologize in advance if this is not the appropriate thread for this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMorrissey Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Bonecrushers are just one of the various rebrandings of the same generic style of grippers. Though obviously the BC400 and BC500 are black handled with gold springs, whereas the HG400 is chrome handled with a black spring, and the HG500 is chrome handled with a gold spring. I can't imagine any functional difference between the two brands, apart from the obvious colour difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that clears some of that up but perhaps a better question, have any of these types of grippers ever Been Rgc'd? Although I bought these for the novelty, i'd like to know if they could help bridge certain gaps. Like if the bc400 could bridge the gap between a coc #3 & #3.5 or the bc500 bridging a gap between the #3.5 & #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 They will greatly depend. My 400 came in at 128#, which is #2.5 level. Super low. My 500s feel like bricks. Novelty only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexstroyer88 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I just received the BC grippers the other day and I have to mention that there is a huge lack in quality control. BC 400 has a 3 1/4" spread, 7/8" inside spring diameter and a 8.04mm spring where as the BC 500 has a spread of 2 7/8", 1" inside spring diameter and a 8.98mm spring. Guess I shouldn't of had high expectations for cheap re-branded Chinese grippers. I agree, pure novelty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
