Adam Juncker Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Grippers are made of spring steel which is a special steel that undergoes specialized metallurgical processes. These processes make the steel go back to its original shape once it is flexed. Joe kinney's monster gripper used spring steel, according to functionalhandstrength.com Once you crush this rebar, it won't go back to the original shape. It's good for one good crush though. Silvis makes the Frankenstein gripper which is of the shape you are looking for. You can order it with whatever size spring you want and an extended handle.

acorn Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Having braced bent a good bit of rebar it can often be springy. Not quite to the point of spring steel or anything but likely fine with the short range of this. Very creative use of materials. Nicely done. - Aaron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GripAustria Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thanks for the link. Great company with a lot of toys for gripaholics, i think with a compression spring between i can made it more effective. Must figure out a way how do do it. To Aaron: Your method of choking grippers is just brilliant, great thinking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
