Roark Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Is the new Sears catalog out yet? Does not Ironmind have a website? Would that not be an apt place for them to spread news of their catalog? Where would another apt place be? Would becoming a sponsor of a website devoted TOTALLY to one line of their products, say, grip, be a logical choice? Whatever happened to Roebuck?

Guest woody36 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 it's obviously not a recent picture.....or he got a new #4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Well-it states that it is his #4-that it was recently tested and still came out the same strength as when it was new- ??? Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSW Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Yes, but can he close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woody36 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I thought they didn't test grippers back then,the way they do now? is it a different test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Presumably this is his second #4 which he told me he had loaned to a friend. His first #4 was lost/stolen/misplaced. Interesting that testing is mentioned. Dare we ask what type of testing. Perhaps the same type that the original closure requirements were based upon?

mobsterone Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Dare I mention the famed bathroom scales to push against? I dares ya to ask and mention the missing No 4. If you don't I will when my new brochure arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I've talked to Dr. Strossen, and he said that they have always tested their grippers. How I don't know, but he said there is a 10% variance either way. I don't think he said that their grippers were precise. I hear there is a company that can test them to exact IP numbers, what was their name.......something starting with a P........ I know who Joe let "borrow" his #4, it was someone he considered a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I think it was tested analogous to the way Trevor Edwards tested the Inch Dumbbell in the "Inch-by-Inch" video. The mounting of the springs on that particular gripper looks too me to be a little higher than normal. Still tough to close, no doubt, but easier than one with the spring mounted deep into the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Heath, Who was it that borrowed Joe's #4? And is this the #4 that is shown in the catalog? And, is Thanksgiving Day when you plan to finish off your #4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I don't know much about this no.4 controversy...I've gleaned some info by doing a search on this forum though. There are some great pics in the catalogue .Glad to see photo of Whit after making a 'comeback'- since his accident,photo of pfister and schoonveld pretty cool too.....

Tom Black Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Yeh Mob, what's up with that, I think you should have been on the RT page, what's with that little 253-pound lift by the big guy? Randy's been calling for 300 since introducing the RT so I guess that is what it will take to get on the page (I'd push for the cover of Milo).
