Couple of New Grip Implements

Clay Edgin was cleaning house on the grip board.  

-------------------------------------------------------------


I think grip has been great to me. Been able to do a lot with it in the competitive sense, but I think it's time to put it away. Moving in with my fiance in a couple months and I want to clear out the toy chest. Prices and devices are listed below. Most everything is negotiable. Since I have these things for sale on multiple locations, I might miss your message if you reply on the Gripboard. Best bet is to text me at 5128153583. Prices do not include shipping. Shipped from Austin, TX.  None of the grippers being sold are rated.

Tetting Grippers:
Super Elite
Grand Elite
Thor
Heavy Grips
HG 500 (#1 run from the production)
HG 400 (#1 run from the production)

Heavy Grips only made 500 of each gripper in this size. They had oversized handles and almost comically large springs. The 400 feels like an easy 3 and the 500 feels like a #4. Each handle was stamped with the number that they came off the production line and these are the first ones ever made. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

I was not too interested in the grippers, except of course for the Tettings.  Among the implements, I had several including the rolling thunder, anvil, fat grips and wrist wrench.  I did end up requesting the Excalibur and pyramid and am glad I did.

The Excalibur was said to be made by Arm Assassin Strength Shop and although it was listed for close to cost, I was happy to grab it.  When it arrived, I noticed it was from the Bear Paw Store (a Russian Company) that makes grippers and grip implements.  "Excalibur for the Bear Paw Deadlift" Weight 650 grams, handle length 150 mm, handle diameter 50 mm, 1400 Rubles (~14 USD)

The pyramid was supposedly a prototype made by Mike Saffell and feels like a jewel in my burgeoning collection.  This thing is brutal to lift.  My initial attempts with it yielded a measly 12 pounds.  Mike Saffell of Saffell Performance is an athlete out of Eastern Ohio that has a long history of strength training and grip.  I reached out and it was not his.  He did point me towards John O'Connor and I am now convinced that it is a Dragon's Tooth.  I spotted it in a couple of old youtube videos and saw a painted version on the grip board.
