Let's see what you have.

  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.

  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.  Lol

This topic is right up my alley, the majority of my stuff is fabbed by myself from whatever I've got laying around.  I'll take some pics to share.

That's a great idea.  I'm pretty busy with a business and raising twins, but this would be a great skill to have.
