mightyjoe Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'm curious as to who currently has the most hand grippers out there? I'm up to 120 right now. My goal is to cover my walls in my training room from floor to ceiling in grippers. Looks like it's going to take about 300 grippers. I know David Horne and Richard Sorin each have over 100 grippers. There used to be a guy on here called GatorGrip that had well over 100 also. Anyway, I would LOVE to hear some numbers!!! And before anyone says it, YES, this is CRAZY! I JUST LOVE HAND GRIPPERS!!!

I probably have the smallest gripper collection, a CoC #2.5 and #3:laugh-LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Can you name every one of them? With some thought, Yes. At the moment, No. Sit here for hours typing in the differences, No again! When I'm done I will post a video or some pics. Should be interesting. No 2 grippers will be alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyjoe Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 That sounds like an excellent collection you have going. I'd love to see some new pics, Joe. Pics COMING SOON! I have several ideas on displaying the grippers at various places on my walls. I also have sets of grippers that are different handle specs. I'm working with a couple of people on a complete set of RB's at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea about covering the walls! I have my home gym set up in my basement, so I bought rubber coated hooks and screwed them into the ceiling - and that's where I hang my grippers.

mightyjoe Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 WHY!!!!!!!!!! Because I LOVE grippers. Probably the same reason certain people ask you why you do certain things. The main reason I love human interaction is because of every individual being so different and unique in their own ways. I know you think it's CRAZY, but I said that up front. Thanks for asking WHY!!! I always like this collection: My link Quality collection but you don't see him much on here anymore. Tim Nice collection! Thanks for sharing the link Tim!

Malice Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Man that's a lot of grippers!! I can't wait to see the pics. Do you or are you going to have them seperated into groups based on brands, style, closed vs. not yet closed, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbe705 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 34 total. and that takes up a lot of space on peg board. I can't imagine what kind of space you need for over 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Man that's a lot of grippers!! I can't wait to see the pics. Do you or are you going to have them seperated into groups based on brands, style, closed vs. not yet closed, etc.? Yes, they are grouped now just not hung up for display. Thanks for mentioning closed versus not closed Russ! I haven't thought of that. I have a lot of grippers made with different handle lengths such as the "Shorties" handle length = 3-1/4", then there's "Shorties" with 5/8" diameter handles for BTR training. "Setting" grippers. These are grippers with 4-1/2" long handles. My reasoning here is that handle length is directly proportional to handle spread. As handle length increases handle spread also increases. A gripper with a wide set is a great way to train your set. Works really good! Then I have a set of extended handle grippers from GM to WC. Smooth Steel handle both 3/4" diameter, 5/8" diameter and 1/2" diameter. Mash Monster grippers, 1 - 7 All the CoC's Working on a complete set of RB's Complete set of HG's This is not to mention all the normal gripper length handles (3-3/4")both standard diameter and 5/8" diameter, complete sets. Got a ways to go but I'm having fun doing it. You guys will LOVE the display when I'm done. Promise!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Can't wait brother!! I've designed and built a few one off display's for mine and always like seeing what other people come up with for their displays. Yours will be EPIC with all those grippers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
