Brett H Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 It is with great sadness that I pass on the news that Warren Tetting has passed away today on his 86th birthday. Warren was not only a grip legend for his production of grippers and grip implements but he was also an even greater friend to me. I will miss him greatly and I am sure the grip community will as well. 4 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubgeezer Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 No Warren Tetting, no Iron Man Grippers. No Iron Man Grippers, no IronMind Grippers. No well-made nutcracker-style grippers, no Gripboard. No Gripboard, no grip hobby, no gripsport, none of the relationships that exist on this forum, from contests, get togethers, etc. The Reality is that We Owe Him Everything. Peace to you Mr. Tetting. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they didn't and went to a different field, but did that change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Piche Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Very sad news. His legacy will live on forever. The Mash Monster grippers are his custom work and I am thankful he was around to be able to create them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that both are capable of making these grippers but just not sure if they are interested. Sometime maybe I will pass on a kinda funny story regarding them making grippers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
