David Mitti Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 It's hard to tell from the vid if its closed right at the end of the attempt. I know it felt closed,maybe the filing is a little off for it to let the handles completely touch at the ends.?? Either way slow and steadily moving forward.. I know I fumbled the set so that killed a little strength, oh well it's all good. 5 Quote Goals CCS w/#2.5 @131# MM0 Cert w/#3 @143# Euro 2HP 200#
KapMan Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Nice David, I probably should grab some extra grippers for filing though I'm not sure if I really need to or not. Quote

David Mitti Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Nice David, I probably should grab some extra grippers for filing though I'm not sure if I really need to or not. Thanks bro! I figured I have the rated #2.5 now so why not file this one down. It would seem to me a good way to progress to the next gripper,kind of like a #2.75 gripper in a way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsDhMJxbB_M It's hard to tell from the vid if its closed right at the end of the attempt.

Looked pretty damn shut. Nice Thanks bro! Appreciate you checking it out! 1 Quote Goals CCS w/#2.5 @131# MM0 Cert w/#3 @143# Euro 2HP 200#

Jose Cabrera Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Congrats Mitti! Def looked closed to me. Quote
Fist of Fury Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Nice close. As long as you're beyond the normal range you have succeeded with the purpose of a filed gripper. Quote
pburke23 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Nice David! Did you say you know what this was rated? And jealous of your 143 COC 3! Quote
