chop163 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Calibrated Verdigriz's grippers today: ---------------------------------kgs-------lbs BBGM (Rusty)----------------72.75-----160 BBGM (Cleaned)--------------71-------156 IM#3 2005-------------------69.75-----154 IM#3 2008 (1)---------------68.5------151 IM#3 2008 (3)----------------66-------145 IM#3 2008 (2)--------------65.25------144 HG300-----------------------65.25------144 BBSM -----------------------59.75------132 IM#2.5-----------------------56.5-------125 IM#2--------------------------49--------108 The rust made a 1.75kg (4lb) difference to the BBGM and it wasn’t even half as rusty as Timmy’s #3. Still, it’s a tough BBGM none the less. That’s a good progression of #3s for training. The 65.25kg (144lb) is the easiest I’ve come across, I’m about 1-2mm of closing it. I also calibrated my two new grippers, a Warren Tetting Retro Beast and Retro He-Man. The Beast is a steel handled BBGM with no knurling and the He-Man is a steel handled BBSM with no knurling, similar to the old Ironman grippers: ---------------------------------kgs-------lbs Retro Beast -----------------70.25-----155 Retro He-Man ----------------61-------134 They feel harder though because they’re heavy and slicker than cat $#!T on a linoleum floor. The two cal rigs gave the same results, but Chris' is MUCH easier to use (I strongly suspect beer featured heavily in the welding process of Dave's ).

verdigriz Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks for doing the calibrations, I was very close with my squeeze estimates too. I knew one of those #3s was easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobb1320 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Hey everyone,calibrated my grippers the other day and thought I would post the results.Some seem kinda light but all weights used were calibrated on a postal scale.All calibrations were done by Brendan Dwyer and myself.I tried to round the ounces off,but I am no math genius. CoC gr8 #1.5=91 lbs 7.5 oz./91.5lbs. CoC gr8 #2 =105lbs .85oz/ 105lbs. CoC gr8#2.5=127lbs 10.7oz./127.6 lbs. CoC pre-gr8#3=141lbs 12oz./141.75lbs. Double stamp,no CoC engraving,black spring. No idea how old it is. BBM = 116 lbs 11.2oz./116.7lbs. BBSM = 133 lbs. 1oz./133 lbs. BBGM = 136 lbs 11.7 oz./ 136.7 lbs. RB 180=113 lbs. 1.2 oz./113lbs. Does anybody have any idea how old that #3 might be?? Edited April 11, 2009 by crobb1320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Does anybody have any idea how old that #3 might be?? http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=385445 2002 it looks like. The only ones that seem a little light are the #3 and the GM but they still seem to be in a semi-acceptable range, nothing to suspect wrong calibration.

verdigriz Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) The #3 is def pre 05, thats all I know from my own collection...rather easy too My BBGM was about 20 pounds harder and it feels all of it too Edited April 11, 2009 by verdigriz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the results of his grippers. Would any of these happen to be the Euro calibrated grippers? I'm dying to know what a Euro-rated 3.38 (for example) calibrates at in pounds. Or any of the 3.0 and up Euro-rated grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yes Ben, several of them have been used in the LGC competition and the European Championship. Hard BBE - 3.47 Medium BBE - 3.38 Easy BBE - 3.22 IM #3 2002 - 3.03 IM #3 single stamped - 2.87 Interestingly, my elaborate (bordering on madness) calibration method indicated that the hard BBE is 8 per cent harder than the easy BBE. Lee is getting exactly the same relative difference. The numbers from Lee's calibration seem to reflect actual effort required to close them with the exception that the difference in difficulty between the 140 and 143 lbs #3's is a little bit greater than implied by the poundage numbers. The sweep is considerably easier on the 140lbs gripper. By the way, I certified on the girly 140lbs gripper with a MM set back in 2000 or thereabouts.

I have just bought 2 brand new #3:s and 2 brand new 3,5:s and i am calibrating those out of the package today or tomorow, ill put those numbers up to...
