Every one of these I have rated so far was 95 or 96 so the filed gripper is going to be in that neighborhood. 100-102. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty OCD about 5 lb increments on the rating tag, I keep stalking for that 90, 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will include some Gold. 95 will be easy. 90 will be hard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matek Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Now I also want a Gold just because pinned handles look so good. I will get one with the next order. 48 minutes ago, Cannon said: I will get another batch of pre-rated posted still this month. It will include some Gold. 95 will be easy. 90 will be hard. Because the handles are pinned now, we can easily make the grippers a little bit lighter, right (since no glue)? Going for an exact number is not feasible without a rating device, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, based on your response, it seems like I misunderstood what "pinned" means. I never owned a Tetting, so I didn't know. I thought it was essentially the same system you have for the adjustables, so it could be loosened with Allen keys. So I thought even if the handles are drilled to flush, going lower is an option.

I say "semi" because you can knock them out and take the handle off, but at your own peril. If they don't go back on nice... you're on your own. We don't recommend taking them apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the pins out of some Tetting grippers, replaced them with screws that could be loosened and then tightened with Allen keys so you could adjust the mount on the grippers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I converted literally 100's of grippers like that. I believe if I remember right I started doing the conversions and working out the related kinks in 2008 or 2009. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
