Tim71 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I was reading this old thread: My link and wondering if we could do the same for Tetting's grippers. He's made so many changes including wire sizes for some grippers so I thought maybe we could piece it together. Anybody want to start with any facts? Current Thor grippers: Beginner .225 Advanced .235 Super Advanced .250 Master .262 Super Master .273 Grand Master .281 Elite .295 Super Elite .306 Grand Elite .312 Pro .331 World Class .345 Galaxy .394 Super Galaxy .437 Universe .502 I know he's also made .375 spring grippers as well as .362 or .363. The .362 at some point was named Constellation, and the .375 was at some point named Galaxy but another board member has a super Galaxy that was .362 and a galaxy that was .353. I have a Galaxy that's .394 that has the older heavy Bevel handles. Anybody add any more? Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The first grippers he had out were with chrome springs. My elite has a .293 spring size I think. Josh took some calipers to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Tim, I used the internet archive to check out the old Weightlifter's Warehouse pages. Kinda showed how his stuff changed over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Bob, I used wayback to look at the website also. Neat stuff. Does your chrome spring gripper have steel or aluminum handles? Later, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Aluminum Handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Wow I didn't know they were ever made like that. Do you know the time that he made grippers like that? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody can sells? I contacted Warren Tetting today to see if I can get a T14. It can be specially made. Warren couldn't tell me a price because he has to contact the man who makes his springs. The Beast T14 uses a 9/16 inch spring and he has none in stock. The last one he made was $125 but he says the spring will cost more so he will check out the price of the spring and let me know a new price (It will be more than $125). You can call him (the # is on this site under frequently asked questions) I'm sure he can make one for you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbes Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Warren also now makes a beefbuilder super universe. You can buy all of the beefbuilder grippers off of weightlifters warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Warren has changed the specs and naming many times. There have been 3 variations of the Beast T14 gripper. Well let's start here. The first Tetting gripper with a .5 inch spring was called the Celestial and you had to order direct from him and was $125.00. Very soon after the same gripper was offered as the Universe at WW then very soon as the 1800 pound Beast T14. Later, the coil side (not wire size) was changed as mentioned here: http://web.archive.org/web/20080720071009/http://www.nutritiongeeks.com/hand-gripper-t14/hand-gripper.html If you read the small print it mentions the rating change. Now, the third variation is the .6 spring or maybe it's a 9/16 gripper. Haven't seen one yet and one can assume that the Super Universe is the same thing. The T13 is probably the .5 spring gripper now I'm guessing and the 870 pound T13 is the same 7/16 inch spring gripper that was the Super Galaxy which a couple years ago Warren told me that would be the first to go. There have been Galaxy grippers with both .375 and .394 spring sizes so Warren is not overly sentimental with his naming designations. Hope this helps.
