acromegaman Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have noticed an influx of single stamp grippers on ebay for cheap prices lately. I have wondered about their authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them for 500 rubles (more or less: 6.5 USD). I guess this was used as a counterfeit, being a couple of units sold at ebay and amazon. Like the Heavy Grips, they represent a cheap alternative to the Captains of Crush and other American/European/korean hand grippers, being the main problem their spring. Their spring (most of the times) has no gaps among the coils (as heavy grips usually do) giving them a good (and even perfect) aspect; BUT no few have been the stories of users closing these hand grippers a couple of times and getting the spring suddenly broken (let's say 70 or more times). If you are looking for quality this is obviously an unreliable alternative. https://crossroad.com/en/shop/ehspander-kistevoy-torneo-55-kg-395400.html https://nikasport.com.ua/espander-kistevoy-torneo-35-kg/ Edited March 9, 2020 by nimar1994 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say IronMind does an excellent job of supporting their wholesalers. If IronMind wanted to compete with their wholesalers, honestly they could just bury us. There is no way we could beat their deals and still make any money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a coc costs a few bucks tops to make so they could really undercut everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benefit is that you have access to a larger market, so overall revenue is increased by not being the sole retailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamGupta Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Just found this thread after buying a fake COC gripper with a "P" stamped on the handle from Facebook Marketplace for $5. I have all of the grippers I need to warm up with, do working sets and challenge myself with, but thought I was getting a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
