jad Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 holy crap those are awesome! If I wasn't holding out for a Gordon V blob60 I'd be purchasing one immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetAGrip87 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (I was on the wrong website, which I figured) Those grippers are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Those are replicas. But still a great gripper to be owned. I am lucky to have the original one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 How hard are they, Alawadhi? Are the 'He Man' and 'Beast' about equal to the modern day elite and super elite? I think i might want to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 How hard are they, Alawadhi? Are the 'He Man' and 'Beast' about equal to the modern day elite and super elite? I think i might want to buy them.No I'd say they are like Super Master and Grand Master, check out the Dennis Rogers site and compare the ratings to the BB poundage ratings. I'd be getting those NOW if they were Elite and SE equivalents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The original I tried is on the par of a hard elite, maybe the low end of a 3.5. Super wide spread, maybe a #3 spring but the handles were shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The original I tried is on the par of a hard elite, maybe the low end of a 3.5. Super wide spread, maybe a #3 spring but the handles were shorter. Hey Bob, that wouldn't happen to be the gripper at Larkin's would it? If so, then don't forget the handles are shorter and ANY sweat on your hand, even with chalk, really hinders performance. Teemu, if these are anything like the gripper I played with at Larkin's then you'll want the hardest one Dennis is selling. I'm sure you could take one down but the lack of knurling really adds a unique challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yeah IF these have shorter handles then it makes it a whole different game. But I figured as the ratings are the same as on BB's and these look to have normal length handles judging by the picture, they'd be like SM and GM without knurling even though the word replica is mentioned. Would be weird to call these replicas if the only difference is the lack of knurling and the originals had shorter handle length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 How hard are they, Alawadhi? Are the 'He Man' and 'Beast' about equal to the modern day elite and super elite? I think i might want to buy them. I don't know about the Beast and the He-man. But the original one I own (from 1964...pic in gallery) is about 2.7-2.8. It's a bit wider than average grippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NailBender Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Just order them! Sweet!! I did! I ordered 2 double sets ( 4 grippers). I set for my collection and the other set for my oldest son. NailBender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmatt Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I just got them to day! I love them. cool, how do you feel they rate, sm and gm and teemu expected? or tougher? I would say M and SM. I like the way they feel. They have some rust on them. That will help hang on to it! HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NailBender Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I just got them to day! I love them. cool, how do you feel they rate, sm and gm and teemu expected? or tougher? I think Teemu nailed it. He man = SM Beast = GM I order 2 sets #'s 17 & 18 and both sets seem identical. The good thing is I got my Master and Super Master grippers just 3 days before I got the Tetting Retro Grippers so all 6 grippers are not broke in at all. I don't have the Grand Master, but the Beast is for sure harder than the Super Master. The grippers look awesome and are a real challenge with the smooth handles.
