Off-Beat Grip Feats

[DrBartlebee]

Does anyone know of some good exhibition-style grip feats? I am looking for stuff that someone who doesn't do grip would intuitively understand is difficult. These should be things that have been done or are in the realm of possibility for a human.

Some examples:

Bending nails/bolts/horseshoes/rebar, etc

Snapping keys in half

Crushing apples, raw potatoes

Breaking pliers by squeezing the handles

Crushing walnuts with a thump and forefinger pinch

Tearing phonebooks/decks of cards

This is for fun only, I know it is not legitimate training. Think old timey Strongman exhibition feats.

Bending a frying pan, it doesn't require any protection, so it looks more impressive.

Crushing an apple, yes, although it's not hard at all if you choose the right kind of apple.

Splitting a raw potato with your fingers, yes but it's actually way too hard, people will not understand how hard it is.

Breaking walnuts, yes that's a good one.

Tearing a deck or card and a phone book also a good one.

Breaking pliers by squeezing the handles, I don't think I would care, seems too gimmicky to me.

Bending a hammer is a good one too.

A guy that sold me Silarukov grippers (who is not a Gripboard member), is able to tear two decks (108 cards) at once. Apparently he holds the world record in this. There's a whole card tearing society I wasn't aware of... Here's a video of him doing the tear:

I did this with normal sized cards. But because I thought I couldn't do it, I didn't bother filming it.
