IzzyGrasp Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I have this Robert Baraban hand gripper that weighs far more than the usual hand gripper, and it got me thinking—what are some of you guys’ heaviest hand grippers by weight? Do you have any that are made of heavier materials in your collection? I would be very curious to see or hear about them! RB300N 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 That was a cool RB to see. I don’t recall ever seeing another one with steel handles like that. Someone has a custom gripper that was made with handles which were cut off of York dumbbells. I think @anwnate donated the handles. I’ll see if I can dig up that thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 @Douglas Carney looks like you had the same York handle idea. You ever make the gripper? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... @slazbob got me thinking about the possibility, but that pair of handles is still sitting in my basement. Never did anything with them.

Douglas Carney Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 That is an awesome looking gripper. Literally one of a kind. Thanks for posting pics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Andrew (Pantke) made a number of them as contest trophies. So while not quite one of a kind...I gotta admit it feels epic in the hand. This particular one was sent to me as a TY for the handle donations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it really has a cool feel to it! I’d love to close it someday. It’s quite a bit beyond me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busa Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 If you include the screw in handles my JBG is 965g - 2.12 lbs (9mm spring) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 HG500 just over 2 lbs. The 400 weighs exactly 2 lbs but nothing else I have is even close 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipshod Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It's not going to win the award for the heaviest but it's definitely one of the rarest (and reasonably heavy) so thought I'd post AtomGripz Tri Band matte Gun Metal (Steel), weighs in at 498 grams/1.1 lbs. Havent had it rated obviously, and never used chalk with it. Probably about a 2 in RGC, but with the smooth handle you really need to be pretty much TNS on the CoC 2.5 to do a CCS with it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
