Aroostook Barbell Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Like a lot of you, I've acquired a lot of different grip implements over the years. Some fancy and specialized, and some "I bet this will work" pieces. These are the later. A bit rough, but they get the job done. These are some of my "not so pretty" pieces. Credit to Mammoth Grip for the Trilobite frame at the bottom. Let's see what homemade, and maybe a bit crude pieces of grip tools you all are training with that get the job done quite well.

Hello Jethro! what's the name of the first implement? it looks interesting. When I began, I purchased locally made equipment, that does the job quite well. There are 50mm and 73mm pinch blocks (inspired in the ironmind blockbuster and the silarukov block), 63mm rolling handle, 60mm Jug replica and "The kinch" which is useful for shallow pinch and double key pinch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroostook Barbell Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 The top picture is a 4.5" round stock from the scrap pile at a local welding shop. I use that for one handed work. They let me go through it once in a while to try and find a new "project". They probably think I'm a bit nuts, but the price is right.
