pexter Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Just for fun I wanted to see how it turned out if I made my own type gripper. Gripper with stainless-steel handles,and with set screws to hold handles onto spring close up of set screw inside of handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TealGunner Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Nicely done Pexter. Looks like you could modify it with an extension for cheat closes like the Tetting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Just got a chance to squeeze it today when I picked up the G-Rex from him; I like it a lot. Nice fat handles, and the texture does not tear up your skin like a IM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
