HAMMERHEAD Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I was just crusing the PDA websit and I was looking at the dissembeled gripper section. I then remembered a post where somebody posted "buy this find the handle depth for your desired strength and mount the handles there and you'll be happy with the strenth you you gripper." This is a fantastic idea. How about this... PDA is only offering a "small" spring so... Get a Tetting gripper based on the desired wire size, knock out the pins, and mount the handles with epoxy where you need them to get the Exact strength your looking for. I have so many grippers I don't need to do this, but I think this will solve the problem many of us have. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Or you can just buy an Ivanko Supergripper and increase the resistance by a few pounds at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMERHEAD Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 I don't think you can get better than a "G", I know I have one. However, if you don't have a few hundred bucks and you want a gripper where you need it this is a cheap easy solution. This thread is for the guys asking all the questions about gripper ratings trying to find the perfect 1.4 or 2.8 gripper. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I wouldn't be surprised if Warren Tetting would sell unassembled grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 This reminds me of a Lemley gripper that I took apart and was going to put back together when I got the handles fitted closer to the spring. Now, where is that gripper?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
