Grippers

I am by no means a gripper guy, but I do find them to be very interesting and collectible training tools.

I originally started out with what I considered the best in class IronMind Captains of Crush.  The heaviest I own is the 0.5 and I can occasionally close it.  If I get consistent, I will purchase the #1.  The average RGC of the 0.5 is 66#.

Now, I am getting curious to try some other brands and build out a collection with Standard, Grip Genie, Gillingham High Performance (no longer produced), Heavy Grips, Tetting (no longer produced), RB (Robert Baraban - Austria), Hybrid and CPW Hybrid.

The tough part for me is that anything over 75# RGC would be simply decorative.  But the upside is that I can have some lightweight grippers from a lot of different brands.

I would certainly like to get GHP or Tetting grippers, but not sure that I want to pay the premium they command.

UPDATE:  I did end up purchasing a GHP Level 2 for $80.  I will buy Level 1, 3 and 4 if they become available at up to $100 each.
