ninja64x Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 i know the CoC's are recognised as the "official" standard in the gripper world. now i'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. the most recent quote i got is = CoC's = $19.95. Beefbuilders= $21.95. Barabans=$24.95. FBBC= $29.95. Mash Monster=$46.95. any thoughts????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IROC-Z Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have some of each of the brands you listed there, and they are all excellent quality. My personal favorite is the BeefBuilders, because they have the sharpest knurling of any grippers I have tried. The RB's and CoC's are great quality and very nice looking grippers, and the FBBC's are available with a vast array of different custom options. In my opinion, a good setup would include some grippers from all four of the above mentioned brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd would be my main one! it wasn't a hard question, this a forum about grip strength. i asked for thoughts on the quality versus price.

rico300zx Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I would say your best bet is to go with what ever level you are up for next? There is a list somewhere Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I like Beef Builder's the most, because of their knurling. The best looking are RBs in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Beefbuilders are the best, IMO. Seems you're kinda confused about the Mash Monsters replicas. All they are are Beefbuilders made to the same specs as the 6 Mash Monster certification grippers (which are also beefbuilders, actually). That's why they're so much more expensive than the other beefbuilders. They're custom made. MM1 = BBE spring @ 1/4" mount MM2 = BBE spring @ 3/16" mount MM3 = BBSE spring @ 1/4" mount MM4 = BBSE spring @ 3/16" mount MM5 = BBGE spring @ 1/4" mount MM6 = BBGE spring @ 3/16" mount Edited March 29, 2010 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B'dole Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 If I were starting my gripper collection over again it'd be all Beefbuilder skinny handles for the right hand and RB left handed narrows for the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripmaniac Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I prefer BB grippers over my IM and RB's. Nothing wrong with the quality of all 3 brands . . . . it's just that I've developed masochistic tendancies as a result of the wicked knurling. Another point to consider is the available strengths (and overlaps) of each brand. BB's have the ranges that are hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
