anwnate Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 How cool is that? Nice rig. I couldn't catch all of that on my phone. Were/are you comparing numbers with CPW and others? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazier still? I told him it didn't count with wraps on it (just messing with him really lol)...and he did it barehanded...bruised the crap out of his hands. Nuts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 That's awesome Delmar, I don't think anyone has ever built a rig that can rate grippers that high! I like how you use the strip of paper to find the close. The real test for the rig is what happens when you try to rate the hercules?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Really nice rig, Delmar. I would be terrified to rate a gripper that high. I get nervous rating my grippers in the 200's because of how much energy gets stored up in that spring. I'd love to get with you and see all the details of that thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he was moving it around with that piece of metal. I knew nothing would happen since he posted the vid but still haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Also, I doubt that the hercules will ever be calibrated because the handles would fail fairly quick. 18 minutes ago, Squeezus said: Really nice rig, Delmar.
