Onerepman Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 In your opinions, which grippers shouldn't be filed due to their beauty or craftsmanship? I've often heard that GHP's and maybe RB's are in the "do not file" category but I'm curious which grippers are on your list? File: -CoC -Heavy Gripz Do Not File: -GHP -RB?

wobbler Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Never file a tetting, I'd say anything else is fair game except old/rare coc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Don't file anything that you can't replace for $30-40. That includes grippers that have difficult to find RGCs like 100, 155, 160, 190, 200. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t file the ones you can’t easily replace based on value or hard to find ratings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that is acceptable, what about plus or minus two pounds from the 100, 155, 160, 190 and 200?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 There are just known dead zones since there are only certain spring sizes. The +/- doesn’t really matter. The ratings have some slop in their own right. But there are known dead zones around where Gil mentioned. Of course anyone can file whatever they want. They’re not wrong. I don’t care about a 100 rating and would file that without looking back. I have no use for a 190 gripper and would sell it rather than file. But I have a #3 that I love and would never file for that reason. Someone else would certainly file that same gripper. Grip and let grip, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are dead zones and very few grippers get within a couple lbs of those ratings. For myself, I have not been able to fill the gaps between 190 and 200 and keep my eyes open for anything in that range. 201 and 202 would be nice to have as well.

BenMorrissey Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I would never file an Atromgripz, Tetting or rare CoC. Possibly also GHP and Silvis grippers since they're hard to come by on this side of the pond. Everything else I'd consider fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
