f1perez Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I was looking at the rb crushers and was wondering were do they fall as far as wire size? They have the 160,210,240,260,300,and 330. I am looking to get as many in between grippers for the captains of crush. I already have all of the beef builder wire sizes. Does anyone have the rb crusher wire sizes? Thank you.

climber511 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 According to Robert - all have the same wire size but the windings are smaller(tighter) or larger(looser) to acheive the different weights for the grippers. the 210 -240 -260 are all supposed to lie between the #2 and #3. It has been expressed on this board that the 260 equals a #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Most of the 260's are harder than a #3 and some of the 240's are also as hard or harder than a #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Cenidoza Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 My 240 is as hard as a #3... may even be harder. Keep in mind it hasn't been seasoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballdad Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 My RB 240 is as hard as my two newer #3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik_F Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hehe, I thought pretty much all 240s were easier than #3s. My 240 and 260 are both easier than a #3. Both silver steel with silver chrome spring. The 260 is close to my easier #3. But not close to my wider badazz #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Trying to do varying strengths based off of anything but wire size to start will be very hit or miss IMO. Even then, handle width, depth, etc. can vary in spring batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundles of spring wire tagged to be coiled for a specific gripper ie: a #3, can vary by .001 or 2 if sampling was performed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
