MRBeyers Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Just wanted to know if I have an "unreasonable" #3. The "spread on the handles is almost 4.5 inches. I have two #1 grippers that are only 4.125 across, and a #2 that is about 4.375. I am not worried about the 1, or the 2, and now that I have learned to set them properly I wonder how much of an issue this is with the #3. But I'm still curious, how far apart are your #3 handles(outside to outside at the bottom)? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersqueeze Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 (edited) If you are measuring the distance between the INSIDE edges of the handles then you should be getting measurements between 2.5 - 3.5 inches. If you have a gripper with 4.5 inches spread then it is very wide. OOOPPPS I missed your last sentance ... Convention is inside to inside Mike M.

Emsquared Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 (edited) My #3 is 2 7/8" from inside to inside on the handle, which i am coming closer to closing last Sat. I got it to within a 1/2" from closing Edited March 4, 2003 by Emsquared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Right now I have four #3's none of which are the same spread. This is inside knurling to inside knurling mine= 2 and 15/16 My bro=2 and 13/16 JeffB=3 and 1/16 Dave O=3 and 2/16 Right now there are 18 grippers at my house. I'm spending the next couple weeks figuring out where each one fits. Ranking them 1 to 18 in difficulty level. I'm almost done. Once complete it will be a nicley staggered , no reason to plateau, collection. I should point out that all the threes are of differant strengths, obviously,.

OldGuy Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 My older single stamped #3 is a hair over 4 1/2'' across the outside of the handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRBeyers Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 Thanks Old Guy, mine is also single stamped, and a few years old. Sounds about the same. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
