I do have 30 more springs so theoretically once Standard is up and running again we can make those. There are 70 grippers that exist though. Two have serial #1. Tom had one and I have one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared P Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Fortunate to have snagged #39 when I first found out about CPW. I rarely ever pick it up though, because it's demoralizing when I do. It refuses to budge, and my fingers can't reach around the handles. Makes the GHP 10 feel like a kid's toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you double-pinned the handles, like some WT Hercules? If the handles are 5 inches long, how deep are they drilled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to get a hold of one. I’m by no means a collector of grip memorabilia, but this is one that’s different for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin at the new shop can drill them like butter on a big CNC to the extent that it’s a better choice than gluing. When the time comes we’ll have to figure it out. The pins always go all the way through and I think 1 would suffice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTH His hands look insane when he’s holding it. Like 25-35% of his middle finger extends beyond the gripper handle when it’s in his palm! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Wow, I never heard of themoustache_ninja, and he says he is in NY! I really thought I was getting to know the sport, but he clearly is a player and I never knew of him. I'll have to go look for him on Insta etc. and keep an eye out for him. Maybe he doesn't attend comps? Great vid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
