Roger Roberson Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 anyone on the board make homemade hand grippers with big springs? Ive talked to few guys and think the ones who were recommended aren’t doing it anymore or don’t do big springs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromegaman Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 @acorn made one for me this year with a FBBC spring. It was pretty heavy and he can adjust the set depth to make it stronger or weaker. Also, they still sell Tetting grippers that go up to Thor and Hercules.

Andrew P Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Springs I still have that are big are the: 5X .290 1P .313 Parallel 2P .359 Parallel oh for reference a COC 3.5 is .276" I can't get the handle made myself. You will have to talk with Aaron about that, like we did for@acromegaman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve talk with acorn already he doesn’t have any big springs atm . I would order the spring from the website jared Posted awhile back but I don’t know how to measure the spring in the calculator ima noob to that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 What poundage and spread are you looking for? At this point I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I have found is that there seems to be only select wire diameters available. There might not be a spring in that range. That would be something to research.

Climber028 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's right between 000 and 0000 gauge so it's not going to be easy to find off the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to attack it this coming Tuesday morning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Roberson Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Well It didn’t make it go way up but still in the range was looking for . I didn’t have the strap all the way on the edge so it may be just a tad heavier it made the spread narrower so probably will be easier to train with I hope 😂 Used raw weight with loading pin just to be sure on the weight .

Adam Juncker Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Roger. Maybe you are too strong. Your grippers bent your RGC. You bent a ttk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Roberson Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Figured a way with working with the Thor I can’t grab it towards the end but I grab it about 2 3/4 “ lower from handle where you would normally grab a gripper .it feels harder then the k2 .400 so its fun for now.
