hublifter Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I got a new Beefbuilder Master gripper in the mail today. I read some people's complaints that the BBM is too weak. I closed it out of the package with no problem. I cannot close the Ironmind #2 gripper, double stamped. It seems to be a good in-between gripper, in-between the Ironmind #1 and #2 that is. However, it would NOT meet the needs of those who are trying to bridge the gap between a #2 and #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strong Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 My BBM is like that to... I bought it to bridge the gap between the #2 and #3... but it turned out to be weaker than my # 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorman Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Any suggestions for a bridge between 2 and 3? 3 and 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strong Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Any suggestions for a bridge between 2 and 3? 3 and 4? RB Grippers : 210 IP and 260 IP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Try the supermaster for between the 2 and 3. both the elite and the heavy elite which will be out in a month or so will fit in between the 3 and 4. Warren makes some great grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Yeah I'd go for the supermaster for a in between gripper at least thats what Warren Tetting said. I boght a BBE and it's about a 3.25 and a HE which is about a 3.75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Ya got ripped. My BBM was a lot tougher than the #2 that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 They've been that way now for years, seems like they started getting weaker than the #2's over a year ago. Mine's 8.2 cm wide and definitely not weaker than the #2, even a harder double stamped one, but bought in 2000 (I think, it's been awhile). The handles are set in the spring real deep.

Emsquared Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 My BBM is weak I think it is equal to or if not less than an IM #1 Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 The 210 is between my hard two, it is really tuff, and a three. The 260 is tougher then a couple of threes I have access to but equal to a couple other threes I have access to. I came across a Super master recently that felt almost exactly like a 2.5.

Sybersnott Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Tom, When we meet again at the AOBS in June, I expect to see you mashing that #3 as if were warm butter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
