Anemptybox Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yeah, definitely looking foward to those videos. Nice to see finally see some new stuff. Would also be cool to see his ridiculous PR of 21 MMS reps with CoC 4 or similar (same one as the 7 reps video as I understand it). Crushing machine.

Ivan Tikhonov Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Video with the measurement of this gripper. It's in Russian, but you can watch the video from 4:35. Edited March 2, 2020 by Ivan Tikhonov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Tikhonov Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) In Russia, there are two apprats for measuring. One measures similar to RGC (1inch = 25.4 mm). "GripperMania" community Second measure is called SGR (1/2 inch = 12.7 mm). "Steel Grip of Russia" community The device measured by the method of 1/2 inch is popular only in Russia. Many people don't understand the difference so they get confused. The difference is about 5%. There is also a translation formula in Russia: RGC = SGR / 0.95 SGR = RGC * 0.95 Below is a video of SGR measurement, from 8:52 minutes 99.8kg SGR / 0.95 = 105 kg RGC Edited March 2, 2020 by Ivan Tikhonov 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Tikhonov Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 31 minutes ago, Hopefully said: Saw someone thought it was 220 lbs, why? Is that the general rating? I hope this isn't too difficult to understand. We get this equality 100 kg SGR (220 lbs SGR) = 105 kg RGC (232 lbs RGC) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasraymond Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 He claimed it to be roughly 20mm set...looked more like 10-12mm from the instagram video...still a huge close no matter the set width but a little exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryroza Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 A lot of well made Grippers/Expanders from other side of world, that i wish we could see a compilation vid of various sorts. SILARUKOV, FOH (force of hands), Xbat, CXP, Silvis, Xinyi wanjia ,and more. There is a great opportunity to fill in RGC gaps. Crushaholic's from both sides of world need to join forces with products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crushaholic's from both sides of world need to join forces with products I spent some time last weekend trying to find Silvis grippers and decode their website, and they seem to be out of the gripper business. Tried to look into Xinyi Wanjia today, but there's no data on them and all I know is that they're dirt cheap. It's really frustrating that there isn't just a consistent and standardized way that everyone rates grippers. Clearly you can get close by converting SGR to RGC, but he has a totally different rig for rating grippers. That guy in the pawn shop's rig looks cool, but I've seen some his numbers be pretty far off from what CPW gets (plus he seems to take the rating just before they are closed, rather than when they are fully closed). Edit: I just watched some more of his videos and he seems to be getting pretty close. I swear there was one really long video where he was way off but I can't find it now. It's not so much that they need to join forces, just that products need to circulate more. It sounds like the problem is shipping, and that folks (like me) are really hesitant to spend $30 on shipping for a $15 gripper (or even 3 for $20) because the RGC and quality are totally unknown. I think that David Shamey is running into the same problem with the MM ladder with shipping cost and time.

I have an xinyi wanjia adjustable parallel gripper( which is okeyish) but im surprised about silvis main website...the Silvis Frankenstein would have been sweet. Good point about cost and circulating. my shipping cost for silarukov was expensive but turned out good quality wise. silarukov 130 = 149 RGC and 140=190RGC. Pawn shop guys long vids about lots of brands and doesnt allow comments either which is a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anemptybox Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 5 hours ago, Hopefully said: Remember that in that still he has already moved the gripper a little bit as well. Hard to judge distance when you have 0 pause. Very true, 20mm might be a good estimate depending on how fast the first mm moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 6' tall and around the 90kg mark, and seeing dudes who (mostly) aren't a lot bigger than me performing feats of almost superhuman strength is a source of inspiration, and also just plain cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who created it probably didn't know much about physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anemptybox Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Nathan explained in an edit to the post: "Hello, I’ve had a few messages regarding the distance of the set , it’s from around 20mm. I started squeezing before the setting hand moved . But it looks like 10-15 from when the hand is released . So rather than amend the post I’ll leave this edit in and please assume I only closed it from 10-15mm. Normally I wouldn’t share a video like this, I would wait till I’m back to where I was strength wise . But this was a gift and wanted to share my progress . Thank you for messages" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anemptybox Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Jag tror det både skulle kunna tolkas som irriterat/sarkastiskt eller ödmjukt. Jag skulle tippa på att han bara är ödmjuk med tanke på hur han brukar svara. Håller dock med dig om det du skriver. Det är inte millimeter hit och dit som ska vara i fokus, den där grippern är som en tegelsten även för de starkaste. Hoppas på att han fortsätter lägga ut videos.

josé adalton Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Did somebody close a torsion spring gripper heavier than this with a deep/parallel set? Does anybody know? No chokers, no leg set, and no assisted close at the end... I think David Shamey follows him with the MM9, estimated by himself to be around 216 lb/98 kg ('Hardest gripper in my hand'), and Carl Myerscough with a Level 9 rated 216 lb (GHP Challenge). But I didn't know anything more than this in a video. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anemptybox Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 I can't recall seeing a heavier gripper close with those requirements. I think Carl Myerscough closed a gripper around 220 RGC with a semi-wide set on video. By the way, it would be cool, and I've said this before, if Carl could upload his videos on YouTube for those who don't use Instagram. Would appreciate if anyone could ask him or share his feats with permission. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
