Gripmasters Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Just read another post that somebody mentioned the strongmanGrips, so I decided to open a new topic on them. Personally I want to see it first, maybe it is just marketing. I want to see Ronnie Close that gripper out of the package. And where are the rules? anybody an idea how we can compare the "weight" of this gripper to COC? So maybe we should email those strongmangrips people. http://strongmangrip...all_of_fame.htm Edited September 3, 2011 by Gripmasters Quote
macaz Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I have been eying these grippers for about 10 months. They are really cheap in price and go up in 25 pound increments. I think the whole set of 9 grippers is $70. They look OK. It would be nice to hear a review.

Chez Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I actually looked up 2 reviews from customers on ebay who said the glued handles came right off after a couple uses. I never heard this happening from other brands before.

I never heard this happening from other brands before. I've heard of this with every brand that glues their handles, including Ironmind. Obviously the rare example though. This is true. My IM #1.5 came apart after about 5 reps. Its because I'm so strong of course. If grippers fall apart just re-glue them with 2 part epoxy.

bencrush Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I'd like to get my hands on the 350. And then get it calibrated to see if it's actually that impressive or not. The end. Quote
bencrush Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I looked at the rules and didn't see anything about any limit on how deep of a set can be used. Quote
Malice Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I looked at the rules and didn't see anything about any limit on how deep of a set can be used. I just noticed that too Ben. As cheap as they are I might just buy one and throw it on my rgc. Quote Russ Farver Mesa, Arizona My blog: http://thestrengthpit.blogspot.com

Gripmasters Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 ok as soon as we have the results on that calibration, than we can ask ourself the question did Ronnie really shut it, or was it just a marketing trick, because everybody knows he is strong, but I bet you he can't close a #3.5 at this moment.

macaz Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 My guess is they are a lot like HGs. I can close my 350 because is like and easy 3. A guy at work has the same gripper but it is way to hard for me, like a real hard #3. I would buy the cheap set of grippers but I think only the 300 and 350 would be really useful Whom ever buys some - do tell us what they are like Quote 2012 Goals Bend Red Nail in IM pads Cert MM1 and MM2 350 Axle 250Vbar Lift the FatMan(got some air on 3-19-2012 but i want a lock out)
Bright508620 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I want to see Paul Knight close the hardest one. I'd rather see me close the hardest one. Then do it and post a video up. I would but i don't believe my grip is on a top end level yet to buy a full set for them to rust away.

rico300zx Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Are the handle dimentions simular to what IM and the rest are making? rico Quote Dare to compare?

I would but i don't believe my grip is on a top end level yet to buy a full set for them to rust away. I don’t own one to try. I was just joking as in I wish I was strong enough to close it. Like I said I am guessing that the 350 would be like a hard #3 which for now would stop me. Next year….After KTA. I would buy some now but I just made a large order from the gripper superstore and have to back off of gripper splurging Quote 2012 Goals Bend Red Nail in IM pads Cert MM1 and MM2 350 Axle 250Vbar Lift the FatMan(got some air on 3-19-2012 but i want a lock out)
