tracer Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I was just curious as to what are all the different types of Grippers and levels of each? I know that Iron Mind puts out the Trainer - #4, what are the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_lidstrom Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 This is a frequently asked question (FAQ). Look around on this site and you will find a very detailed answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarytheDino Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=4821 This link is in the FAQ forum. It might answer your question and give you an idea of in between sizes. I can also add that a Heavy grip 200 is typically less than a #2 and 250 is about half way between 2 and 3 close to the same as super master and hg 300 is very close to the same as #3 but a little less. Mine have a much thicker wire than the other 2 brands but are weaker in relation to the size of wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davekline Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am not sure that the original question was answered. All of the grippers listed in the linked thread are effectively the same type of gripper, they just have different levels of resistance. The ISG on the otherhand is an entirely different type of gripper. Some companies make pieces of foam shaped like the inside of your hand that are to be used to strengthen grip. I have also seen in martial arts catalogs a type of gripper where the two paralel handles are brought together in a strait line and multiple springs are used for resistance. There are no doubt other designs being used for portable grip training tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracer, Are you asking only about the nutcracker style gripper such as Ironminds? Or other styles as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davekline Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I've also seen a device generally referred to as an "eagle catcher" on several martial arts websites. This gripper features a frame with 5 springs attached to it. The springs are brought together with the fingers. This is more of a pinching and finger strengthener than a crush trainer.
