CruxGripman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Hello, today I very excitedly received my recent order from CPW. Upon inspection, I immediately noticed something strange, the Coc #2.5 rated 126 was stamped with a #3… so my immediate thought was, “oh, maybe the tags were mistakenly switched” only to notice that the #3 I ordered rated 145 is also stamped with a #3 I have no idea what ironmind production line looks like, but this seems quite unusual, has anyone else had this happen? @Cannon Edited April 30 by CruxGripman Typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matek Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Is the spring wire diameter different from the other #3? Edit: but I never owned a #2.5, maybe the wire diameter is the same anyway, and only mounting depth varies. But somebody will tell us I guess Edited April 30 by matek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somebody will tell us I guess It’s hard to tell, but I think spring diameter looks the same eh. I don’t have a caliper or micrometer to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorOfCrush Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I believe this does rarely happen. There was a thread a while back about it. Just wrong handles on the spring. You’d be able to confirm with digital calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilBB Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Have you tried closing the 126 to see if it's a 3 with a wrong tag? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Oof, I believe I know how this happened. I found that gripper a while ago. It's the only one I've ever found and it was not meant to be sold. My son was helping with pre-rated stuff recently and I believe he sorted that with the regular inventory and then it went out without me noticing. I'll send you a PM.

Cannon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It's confirmed to be the one singular error gripper that I have found in 12 years of opening IronMind grippers. It's a #2.5 spring with #3 handles. It came in a #3 package which I still have here. It was a mistake that this gripper was shipped. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
