Pete Silverman Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've been looking unsuccessfully for tutorials on the different settings for grippers that would describe and show each and talk about the relative merits of each. I'm a newcomer to grippers, working on closing the #2, and the posts I've been able to find on the forum have been advanced calculus while I'm looking for intro math.

Cunny Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 If you've got big hands don't bother setting it. Or if not the KTA programm is a good tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no tutorials as such on the GB. Quote Steve Gardener, British 2006/2008/2009/2010 champ, 117.5kg 2HP, Euro 2008 & 2010 champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, what constitutes 'big hands' ? Quote Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big FAQ section you should read it thoroughly Thanks for your response. I actually looked through the FAQ section but could find nothing this direct and to the point. Unless I missed it, your post would be a good one to add to the FAQ for newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Just out of curiosity, what constitutes 'big hands' ? I would say 8 inches plus from base of hand to the end of your longest finger but others may disagree with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
