Can Dead hangs increase gripper strength

I currently started to do dead hangs. First time 3 days ago. For my first try I got 68 sec at 89 kg. Then for a one arm dead hang eight handed just over 9 sec. Is this a good practice to carryover to gripper strength and what about pullups and chin ups ?

Yes, but only in the beginning then it will have diminishing returns. Once you are between 30 seconds to a minute going much higher won't increase strength very much. It's definitely not the best way to train for grippers, but they are a good idea for a lot of reasons and there's always at least some carryover between grip movements
