gerryg Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Has anyone bought a coc#4 from ironmind lately? I was wondering if they have the coc stamped on the bottom of the handles like the other 2007 grippers. Quote

vikingsrule92 Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Yeah they do, I bought mine about a month ago and they are just like the rest of the 2007 grippers. Quote
Teemu I Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 I just ordered a #4 few days ago, still waiting for it. How's the knurling on these 2007 grippers compared to 2006 models? Still that smooth? Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog
pdfk20 Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 my 2007 no.3 has excellent knurling, maybe the no.4 is the same Quote Pete Kerr, 165lbs Goals: Close current hard #3 Dominate #3 again 16/06/12 CCS several hard #3's, MM2 replica etc #3 Cert MMS #3.5 Close a brand new #3.5 out of the packet MM3 100kg 2HP Finish in the top 3 in this years WSH under 82.5kg class
kilkkinen Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 My brand new #4 has excellent knurling, much more better than my #4 2006. Quote Matti Heiskanen
matthcarl Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Just out of curiosity, what do you guys mean by "excellent" knurling. I have heard people complain both ways (too sharp/too smooth). I personally like the knurling to be pretty sharp. Quote Name: Matt Carl Runner, Graphomaniac, Steel Bending Fiend

I think only guys that are new to grippers might complain about knurling to be too sharp. Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog

I think only guys that are new to grippers might complain about knurling to be too sharp. Makes sense. I have some HG grippers that are so smooth they tend to slip. The new COC's I have are much sharper and easier to grip. I'm pretty new, but my hands are already kind of calloused from regular weightlifting and I don't think I could get cut like I heard someone say before.

aquilonian Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 they've had the coc stamping on the bottom since 2006. I have offered pictures but nobody wants them. Quote
JoeGrip Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 I have a 06 #3 that has really really smooth knurling but the knurling on my 3.5 and 2.5 is better/sharper than my 05 #3. Quote

My 2006 #3 also has pretty lousy knurling. I wonder if this was a trick to sell more grippers... Quote

My 2006 #3 also has pretty lousy knurling. I wonder if this was a trick to sell more grippers... I wouldn't know but if the knurling is better on the 2007 grippers, I'm glad. Well my new #4 should be here next week I guess so I'll be able to compare. Wonder if it actually will be a 2007 #4? Or a 2006? I remember ordering two or three #3's in the earlier part of the 2006 and they were all 2005 models. Guess they don't sell that much #3's or #4's as the easier ones, so they will get rid of the older stock first. Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog
vikingsrule92 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Yeah the new #4s are definitely SHARP. They are almost as sharp as the new BB grippers I got so you shouldn't have a problem there. Quote

I think only guys that are new to grippers might complain about knurling to be too sharp. I think another reason is just because you can always dull the knurling, but I'm guessing it would be very difficult to sharpen (at least not as easy as throwing on some tape).

gerryg Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 I ordered a coc#4 for my collection today! I can't wait to feel this beast! Quote
Teemu I Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Just got that new #4 of mine in the mail. Seems to be from 2006, if the year on the package means anything. Knurling isn't as smooth as it is on my 2006 #3, but it isn't as good as it is on the 2005 CoC-grippers either. I wonder how it calibrates (I will get it calibrated). Might be pretty tough even for a #4. Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog

My coc#4 arrived today and it has the coc stamped on the bottom of the handles and the GR8 spring like I wanted. But it has one major flaw, when I squeeze it the gripper hardly moves! Quote
greenBuddah Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 sounds like it's defect .. send it back. Quote

Haha I think he was joking because it's so difficult. Or are you being sarcastic now? Hmmmmm What, did he get a difficult #4? A healthy dose of tongue-on-cheekiness attached, certainly. All I can say is that if gerry does mash it in the other hand, that toungue has a good chance of getting stuck.
