lloyd80s Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Hi, I've noticed on some gripping videos that the captains of crush grippers sometimes look different. Some have black springs, though mine have dark silver springs. Also I've seen that some of them also have the number on the bottom of the handle with some other numbers or letters around it, mine only has a 2 or 3 on the bottom?? I just want to find out that I'm not being sold fakes, the packaging looks fine and I'm ordering my grippers from a reliable shop. If they're all from the same place then they should all look the same ?? Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks Quote IT'S ONLY A SPRING........
pdfk20 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 The newer coc grippers have the COC stamping at the bottom. I bought my no.1,2 and 3 last year and they all are purely stamped with the number, however my 1.5, 2.5 and new no.3 which i bought this year, have the COC stamp. It is likely that the coc grippers you have are from 2006 or maybe before.

liam.mccaffrey Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 i think early one had the number on 1 handle and latter they were on both(or vice versa) Quote
PowerHouse Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 i think early one had the number on 1 handle and latter they were on both(or vice versa) Yea Ironmind single stamped the number on one of the handles years ago(not exactly sure when).

menace3000 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 you're probably referring to robert baraban grippers which are different from captains of crush... Quote
Autolupus Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 My trainer's long since lost(lent to a ?friend? who never returned it)...but my#1 is only stamped on one handle(can't remember the exact year...but would have been 1998/2000), I was bought as a present my #2, which has 2 embossed on both. That would have been around 2002/2004. Just recently bought the #1.5, #2.5 and the #3, all of which have the COC pretty much everywhere! Quote Mike Mackenzie. Luceo non uro.
lloyd80s Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 you're probably referring to robert baraban grippers which are different from captains of crush... Err no menace, I'm talking about the different types of captains of crush grippers. If you have a look on some videos of people closing COC's then you'll see that there are a few types, a black sping, silver spring and different engraving on the bottom of the grippers. Maybe if you look at some video clips you'll see what I'm talking about. Quote IT'S ONLY A SPRING........
superfeemiman Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 All they really are is just different models from different years. Most of them aren't considered "stronger", or "harder" than another model (save for a few which I think, for example, the Silvercrush is one of).
