What Should IM Call Their Next Gripper?

[Ray Hansford]

Just wondering if you think they should keep with the number system or move to another name?

[ulgrim]

they should name it #5, and rename the trainer to #0.

[Matt Van Weele]

I think there was already a big discussion about this.

[mooinabc1]

Ironmind #5 platinum

[Tom of Iowa2]

I'd call it 'the irrepressible scalawag'

or 'the silly little rascal'

#5 sounds fine too.

[JeffPeterson]

they should name it #5, and rename the trainer to #0

I agree.

[Strong Man]

they should name it #5, and rename the trainer to #0

I agree.

same here

[Z-man]

I'm surprised so many people have mentioned here and in Sybersnott's thread that they want to see the Trainer be called the 0. I love the name, its like a slap at all those 'store bought' grippers, "this thing is friggin tough and its only our 'Trainer'". BUT, by the time you're closing a 2, thats all it is is a simple trainer, a warm up gripper at best. I like it personally, keep it called a Trainer and IF you make a new one, than #5 all the way!!!

[thomas straub]

#5 would be good

[br765]

They should name it the #5. What if they had given the #4 a name, then things would start to get confusing when the next one comes out.

The Trainer is a fine name for what it is because they really don't need easier grippers.

Going past the #4 there is room for a couple more depending on how far RS wants to take it. Why not just make a #5, #6, #7 and #8 and get it over with. Someone will always buy them just to have a full set and it would be a long long time before someone didn't have a goal gripper to shoot for.

[CMunger]

I think they should call it the #7, just to give us somethign to talk about on the internet.

The "paperweight"

[ianders1]

Of course you're making the assumption that IronMind will come out with another gripper. If they do #5 gets my vote. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

[gerryg]

they should name it #5, and rename the trainer to #0.

Good idea!

[skidmark]

I got a better question. What will we call the first guy that crushes it? Our-Overlord, bad mother f'er,master, or maybe we should just call him number 5.

Mabey they should name it after the person who can close it . sort of like the nameless stone that is now called the nowack stone.

[Clay Edgin]

I'm with you on this one!

[Spikegriper]

The # 5 sounds ok But that Just my thoughts.
