Sam Radford Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just surfing the web and found these (http://www.kettlebells.co.uk/jbgrippers.html) Can be bought from the UK so massive positive for me but wondered if anyone has used these and can review them. How do they compare strength wise to CoC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capone30 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have a the f and g model and have had them for years when they first came out. not sure if that's the same site I ordered from it has been so long since I ordered them.But they are really nice made of steel and can be used as a extended handle and adjustable if you keep both handle ext on.Mighty Joe I believe will be doing a review on them if you check his blog.im interested in how they rate without the ext handles on. Well worth it especially if your in the U.K. I'm not from the U.K. So def pick up a pair but G is heavy I would get D E or F depending where you are I'm closing grippers.

I'll keep my eye for the review on his blog!! That's where I first found out about them. I am few mm off closing a CoC #2.5 from MMS so which would you recommend?

capone30 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I wouldget theF or G than as if you do get the G you can work with it with both handles on or with negatives with one handle. I think the F is slightly harder than 2.5 with out the handles attached. I am hoping Joe will Rgc the ones he has as I'm curious at how the G rates without handles attached. but working with them with the handles attached works nice its unique as most grippers you can't do this.

Sam Radford Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's been done over a week. I read on a training log that you have used them for negatives? Is this what you use due to the long handles rather than a standard sized gripper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Is Mr. John having them produced in England or has the brawny man moved across the pond. I remember the excitement and friendship me had in those early days of our grip activity . Sharing challenges and ideas. Like two bulls in a pasture deciding just what to do. John always had a good heart and great intentions. He gave a lot to the world of grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what you use due to the long handles rather than a standard sized gripper? They are so damn hard to close (far harder than a 4) without the extensions that you use said add-ons to set the gripper and make sure the working hand is ready to go in what we'd think of as a normal (closer to the spring) position. Then you hang on for dear life ha ha. Is Mr. John having them produced in England or has the brawny man moved across the pond.

My understanding is that he did something all the way back in 2007 but they got next to no publicity for some reason. I only heard of them via Joe about three weeks ago. He partnered up with Jim Lewis here who produces and sells them. I don;t think you can buy them anywhere else or indeed ever could. I created a facebook page as a thank you for the one Jim gave me for free (I purchased one as well) and did a review for him etc. I think they are beastly - so I like 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
