Coc 2,5

[Halldin]

I recently closed my CoC 2,5.

I was wondering what that gripper would equal, approximately, in say RB grippers.

I saw an old list (from this site I think, but I'm not sure) that placed it several grippers below RB210, but by the RB210/CoC 2,5 I've tested, I don't agree at all.

So, what do you guys think?

i would say the rb210 was harder, and the BBSM

[pdfk20]

My 2.5 is marginally harder than my RB240N, don't own a RB260N but it must be on the same level as a 2.5 or thereabouts

My 2.5 is marginally harder than my RB240N, don't own a RB260N but it must be on the same level as a 2.5 or thereabouts

And how does the RB260N compare to non-narrow RB grippers? Is it tougher than RB210?

Nm, found the list in the faq-section

"RB180

RB240N

PDA262

RB260N

.273 COC 2006 #2.5 238 lbs

HG300

.275 BB Super Master 255 lbs

GM2 cert Gripper

RB210

HG400

.281 BB Grand Master 280 lbs

.281 COC #3 280 lbs"

I probably squeezed an easy RB210 then.

RB210 is a harder gripper than an RB240N generally. The RB210 (i've felt a few of them, and own one) usually falls in the 2.6-2.8 range depending on the #3 you are comparing them to. I also have an RB240C which is a narrow RB240 cert gripper. This is in the 2.5 range. The BBSM is almost dead on a 2.5 strength aswell, well, the one i repped out before the iron grip was. I've heard these vary a lot though. I haven't ever felt an IM #2.5.

[Alawadhi]

The one I owned was like a very hard #2. Not extremly hard #2 but a hard #2. Around 2.4-2.5.

The RB210 i have is harder than my COC 2.5.

My own personal grippers:

RB210 2.5

RB240N 2.6

Supermaster 2.7

IMind 2.5 2.7

RB260N 2.75

That being said, a couple of years ago, Dale Harder had a brand new RB210 that I couldn't close, I would put at 2.8. The British Iron Grip Championships had a Supermaster rated at 2.46. I gave a Supermaster to my son that I would rate at that level as well.

I believe that BB grippers have slightly less variability than other brands. I don't know if that is the experience of others or not. The most BB variability I have seen personally is ".3" of a gripper(Supermaster 2.4 vs 2.7). I have two RB160's, one is a 1.6, and one is 2.3 plus. I traded away an IM #2 a couple of years ago, my 1999 "Baby 2" of 1.8. My favorite gripper is a 1999 IM #2 that I put at 2.6.

Nice one!

My rb210 is 2.35 and my #2.5 is 2.70 on coc-scale. Those are calibrated with redneck gripper calibrator
