Lol999 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) The first one may be of use, depending how strong you already are, for some general muscle toning/preparation for strength training using weights etc. I can't see it doing much for grip to be honest. The second item I wouldn't bother with. Something that cheap isn't likely to be very good. There are lots of sites on the internet showing you how to make grip stuff out of junk laying about if getting hold of the "proper" gear is a problem. Ultimately though for gripper work, you need grippers, so it may be a case of saving your cash, biting the bullet and investing if this is an area you decide to enter. All the best, Lol Edited December 1, 2008 by Lol999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 2.Power Hand Grip with meter http://cgi.ebay.in/Power-Hand-Grip-with-me...A1%7C240%3A1318 I have one, it cost 0.99cents. It wasn't worth it, it's a piece of cr@p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mathison Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) For the price of that plastic dyno (#2) you could have a few Ironmind grippers. Or.... You could get an adjustable Beef Builder made and sent to you. Thats what I would do in your situation.

Lol999 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Chris, the grip dynamometer is priced in Indian Rupees, it works out to about $4 I think. Not enough for some grippers unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae_yogi Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Looks like junk. For something inexpensive you can get locally, I would suggest going for block weights by cutting the heads off of hex head dumbbells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33wes Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Not sure if you can find a good welder locally, but if possible print a picture of a Beef Builder grip machine and have it built for you. That would take the place of many grippers. If impossible, contact Warren Tetting for a price. Edited December 16, 2008 by 33wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
