Nuttgens Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yeah I have the standard cobalt and it’s one of my favourite grippers. Right up there with ghp. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCarter Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 These are the closest thing to having a Tetting gripper available now. The knurling feels similar to what Warren created when he was making hand grippers. They'll definitely fit in to where you need to bridge the gap; they're wonderful! Find where your strength levels fall at with hand grippers and get one. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Knowlton Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 Cannon PowerWorks really did a good job of these grippers well-made very nice. I just rated them and they’re really close to what they’re advertised at. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have a few and at first I didn't like how sharp the knurling was (it's like a cheese grater), but after working on better setting technique I get less friction from them & can now appreciate them a lot more. My Standard Cobalt 163 really does bridge the gap from low 150s to low 170s for the stuff I own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Standard Cobalt 163 really does bridge the gap from low 150s to low 170s for the stuff I own. Part of the intention in making it so sharp is also that you can bring it down. Rubbing the knurling with almost anything that is slightly abrasive will take some of the bite out of it. Just go extremely slow until you like how it feels. You can always go down, but there’s no way to bring it back up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jermiah Merciconah Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I don't alter my Standard knurling at all, I'm trying to have it bite into my skin so my thumb pad doesn't have to do as much work while deep setting, My new Titanium feels like it has sharpened diamonds for knurling 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jermiah Merciconah Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 You guys' grippers are like GHPs without that sloped edge at the bottom for pinkies to slip off, They're honestly the ideal gripper for pretty much anyone, But you've probably heard that plenty 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 After using the GHP's and the Standard Grippers it's hard to go back to the Captains of crunch because of the knurling . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice40 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I just got the adjustable set last week and really like the aggressive knurling. Especially since I’m doing my gripper workouts at work and not using chalk right now. Overall the quality seems top notch and I’m happy with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Conjugate Iron Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Standards and GHP have the best knurling in my opinion. Even when I first started and had to develop harder skin, I still enjoyed how they'd stick better in your hand. And they do indeed help with chalk-less workouts! I don't like to use chalk when I train with sub-maximal grippers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoid chalk as long as possible and love the knurling on these. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageWeightsPGH Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Any idea when they’ll be back in stock @Cannon? After reading this post, I’m curious and would like to try one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response. After posting this question, I was looking around in the CPW section and saw your post about Tom passing. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m still curious to try your grippers, but now I’m also curious to see someone with the old and the new do a side by side comparison. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
