Cannon Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Hey Grip Nerds! CPW is now stocking the GD IRON GRIP 80 and IRON GRIP 90 EXT. They are similar models, but the IRON GRIP 90 EXT is slightly harder, and each unit comes with handle extensions and pinch grip converters. The build quality on these units is extremely high. https://cannonpowerworks.com/products/gd-iron-grip-adjustable 9 1 Quote

How does the IRON GRIP 90 EXT (with the pinch grip converters installed) compare to your Pony Pinch Kit? Is the 90 EXT spread wider or narrower that the Pony Pinch Kit (at the tip of the plate attachments)? And where does the Pony Pinch Kit approximately fit/feel within the estimated range from 40 to 125 for the 90 EXT? 1 Quote
Maiche 25 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 (edited) Hi Matt, there had already been an estimate of the rgc of the 90, very different 🤨. Edited May 22 by Maiche 25 1 Quote

These are numbers I established for our actual inventory. There are slight differences in the models. Those in your thread were sent to us via Rate and Return and that GD90 model I believe to be the GD90 EXT.P (I think the P stands for Pinch) but that model has the lines around the top of the handle where our GD90 EXT does not. LINK Since I can close almost all the levels, I did a ton of ratings and also going back and forth closing the GD against various IM, Standard, and HG grippers. The numbers posted in the product are what I feel are very good approximations for how the levels actually feel as compared to a TSG. 1 2 Quote

I really like the feel of the pinch converters on the most narrow setting because it feels less like I'm about to hyperextend my thumbs. And since the GD 90 EXT is adjustable, you can match the PPK pretty well. For the GD so have the same spread as the PPK, it's closest to the middle spread setting. And to match the strength of the PPK, it feels to me like you should use the 38 kg position. 2 1 Quote

It's great that CPW is selling them now. I've already said multiple times on the forum that I think these are great, and I never regretted getting one. And keep in mind if the stoppers bother you, those can be filed down, and the handles will touch on each level (at least on my 2022 model, I'm not sure about the new one). Of course the tool will be out of spec in that case so Matt probably can't "convert" them, but it takes a few minutes with a hand file. 5 1 Quote
C8Myotome Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Does changing the spread change rgc? Is there rating data for with the stoppers filed? It looks nice but a bit too light for me how it is now Quote 186 PB350 MMS, 183 CoC 3.5 MMS, 180 CoC 3.5 38 mm, 178 GHP8 30 mm, 175 GHP8 CCS

devinhoo Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Super cool to see another adjustable gripper out there. Did you play around with the ratings with the extensions at all? I imagine a similar attachment could be made for use with chokered grippers to extend them a bit. 1 Quote Steel bending, stone lifting, grip strength, strongman, picking things up, putting them down Instagram @Doctor.Grip Steel calibration data

Which also reminds me; is there a possibility to check an approximate value for how much the RGC changes with the extensions? If they change significantly, that is. Because if they give even a few pounds difference, they could work well to bridge up the gaps between levels. 1 Quote Goals: Grip Genie 5 (deep set), CoC #2 (CCS), IM Red Nail (DO, single pads).

devinhoo Posted November 17 Posted November 17 Got mine today. The knurling and craftsmanship is superb. It’s going to take a hot second to get used to the handles not touching. Excited to work with this gripper more. 1 Quote Steel bending, stone lifting, grip strength, strongman, picking things up, putting them down Instagram @Doctor.Grip Steel calibration data

Took a hand file to the little nubs, and it was a really quick job. Otherwise, excellent device. 1 Quote Perfect is the enemy of good. | fac aspera estō feroxque "I tell you white and you answer me salad" - Tiziano Becchio 2024 Goals: Consistency | BW 2-Hand Flask (currently 91%)| Next-Gen 95 Blob | Become the strongest hematopathologist in Nashville Right hand: MMS CoC #3 RGC 150 Left hand: MMS Tetting SM RGC 129
Fradders Posted November 17 Posted November 17 I really like this, so easy to do drop sets. Was really surprised by the quality. Especially like using the pinch attachments 1 Quote
