Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) Not a bad pay day...long trip thoughWell its all the way up in Canada...and whats the Shaolin #4 gripper compare to? ha! i thought that would at least get someones attention.Click the link for details...somebody off this forum could likely?walk away with $1150? Seriously? i wonder if this is an IM #4 or some other gripper? Edited March 30, 2004 by Tom of Iowa2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 those grippers look cheaply made, and even though i live in Canada, it is less expensive for me to order from IM or www.wwfitness.com, while mangan wants 50 bucks for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobue Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 [kung fu voice] ancient Chinese gripper very difficult. One must concentrate to close the gripper young apprentice.

kyle102887 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) They look crappy look at all the glue coming out of the handle not worth $50 IMO what a rip off, and he is charging $178 for the exact same thing IM makes called the hardy handshake and he calls his the crusher.

Doesn't Tou have some monster friend that lives up there?They both certified to gether and the dude did some damage on Tou's number 4?Maybe I'm remembering wrong...but I think he was a pro strongman? I'd guess?this thing isn't as hard as an IM #4? I know some of the guys on the forum would clean up?

JeffPeterson Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Even if the spring is as tough as the IM#4 which I doubt with the handls set so far from the spring many people here could close it. Many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBOHANDS Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 He mentions on his website to try them while driving to work in your car. Seems to me he doesn't quite understand the gripper training of most of the guys around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjcocn Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 actually, the crusher link shows two (2) different implements - the first looks like a TTK and the second would be ... the crusher? either way the prices do seem a bit steep for this guys wallet!

Anuwbius Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 those handles dont even look close to even in the spring depth. They look pretty....well...kinda crumby. Not that they couldnt be used for training...but you know. No question someone here could take the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
