dima700 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi. I saw them on Muscledriverusa.com. Has anyone used these before? They are very cheap at $11.95 per gripper: cheaper than Bonecrusher grippers and Heavy Grips grippers. Are they the same quality as Heavy Grips grippers or worse? I want to order 3 of them - 150,200,250 - but I'm worried that because of the cheap price, I might get what I pay for. Thanks. http://www.muscledriverusa.com/mdglgr.html Quote Goals: Estimated HG250 5-10-08 HG300 10-10-08 HG350 3-10-09 BBM 5-17-08 BBSM 12-11-08 BBGM 2-19-09 BBE 10-6-09 #2 5-17-08 #2.5 12-1-08 #3 6-17-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big nasty Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 They look in the picture like HG's in a different package but I maybe wrong I never seen them before.

bigmatt Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think they are the same as the Heavy Grips grippers. Just a different packaging. Quote Boston MA!

matthcarl Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 They do look like HG grippers...and while not a fan, if that price includes the 400, that is cheaper than I've seen before.

Scott Styles Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 They are rebranded Heavy Grips, I think. Quite the deal on the HG350 and HG400. Quote You don't get a dog and do the barking yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripzilla Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 They are rebranded Heavy Grips, I think. Quite the deal on the HG350 and HG400. I saw these as well. However, they get kind of expensive on their shipping. Quote So.Cal. Grip Meltdown Double 45# Hublift- 7/11/09 5-10# Plate Pinch- 7/11/09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dima700 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks everyone for your response. I just ordered 3 grippers for $48.50 (shipping and handling included). I will finally be able to see how different two grippers of the same strength can be, since I already have the 3 grippers that I ordered. Hopefully the 150 will be harder than my current 150, 200 will be harder, and 250 will be easier.

dima700 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 I received the MD Gladiator grippers today by UPS. The knurling on the grippers is insane: far sharper than any other grippers I've tried (Beef Builder, Captains of Crush, and Heavy Grips). The only stamp on the gripper is the number of pounds on the inside of the handle. The spring is pitch black just like the Heavy Grips. The ratings of grippers: HG150 - feels slightly harder than my HG100 HG200 - feels almost the same as my HG150 HG250 - feels slightly easier than my HG250 The only gripper I'm happy about is the easier HG250; the other two were a waste of money Quote Goals: Estimated HG250 5-10-08 HG300 10-10-08 HG350 3-10-09 BBM 5-17-08 BBSM 12-11-08 BBGM 2-19-09 BBE 10-6-09 #2 5-17-08 #2.5 12-1-08 #3 6-17-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
