Captains of Crush IronMind Hand Grippers

Clearly the one I got is defective , I have hands of steel yet I can't close mine , I think the xmas elves have been playing around with labels and stuck the wrong one on mine :-)Aside from that - these things are great - suggested rules for deciding what to buy belowRule 1) If you are going to buy only one , Choose the strength you are 100% sure you can squeeze , then buy the one below :-)Rule 2) When you have ignored rule 1 , ordered the one you thought you could squeeze , received it and failed miserably , read Rule 1 againClearly I didn't read my own rules :-)As an aside for any Climbers who may be reading this - having uber strong fingers and hanging off micro edges has little to no carry over into how strong you will be on these ( search on Reddit for more info ) , thus rule 1 :-) . Its debatable if getting strong on these will help your climbing , I use it more for warming up and for off days and stick to a hangboard for actual tangible gains.Hope this helps , if so please hit helpful below to inspire me to continue writing reviews :-) Thanks

Speedy delivery & packaged just fine - especially good that they can be posted through the letterbox.I’ve had all sorts of different grippers over the past couple of decades, almost all pretty cheap & very, very easy to close repeatedly. A couple of years ago I bought a ‘heavy grip’ that was a cheap imitation of the Captains of Crush. It was apparently rated at 200lbs, which I couldn’t quite close fully, so I was looking to find something to help build up to it.I must admit that I was drawn to the CoC grippers via some YouTube videos where they were testing folks grip strength (Jujimufu, Brian Shaw, Brian Alsruhe...) & decided to go for the CoC #1, since I figured I was already close to getting 200lbs, so 140lbs should be easy...Guess again.Well, I still loved the quality of this gripper, so almost immediately ordered the Trainer, to give me a lighter weight to warm up with.Pleased that I could then close that (100lbs), but decided to round things out by also ordering the Guide (60lbs), as my wife & kids were also now interested in getting their grip stronger, but they could hardly budge any of the heavier grippers.The lightest two were a bit squeaky, but that was soon remedied with some 3-in-1 oil application.We’ve also now got some really light squishers & finger bands for extensions tooOverall, we’d definitely recommend the CoC family of grippers.

Ordered the trainer, quickly discovered I was probably better off going for the 1.0! Not my fault though and if I was fussy enough i'm sure they would refund/exchange without any issues. Excellent quality, I've owned a few grippers in the past but after watching Juji etc on youtube try these out they have done nothing but sing their praise. high quality gripper that will probably outlive the customer. Not hesitating to recommend these to friends and strangers alike!

Great gripper, very well made I started on the T and upgraded to the 0.5 this week, I can close the 0.5 6 times on each hand easily but want to get to 12 ‘click’ closes before I move to the 1.Two points -1- they hurt your fingers real bad when you first start using them, even give you blisters in pinky and 3rd finger BUT just keep working and they heal up real quick and you have small calluses and you can’t feel any blister pain after 1 month.2- they squeak! Get a small can of wd40 from Poundland ... for a pound , and spritz the coil once a month and it won’t squeak at all.

I placed an order for the Captains of Crush hand grippers because I had 40kg hand grippers that were too easy to train with and I wanted to take my grip strength to a higher level, I researched various brands and the Captains of Crush brand was the stand out option, when I placed the order with Valhalla fitness, (despite being a busy time of the year) the order arrived in double quick time and the product was in perfect condition, when I tried using the grippers it was apparent the excellent quality of the item and the required grip strength was up a step up, overall I consider the purchase great value for money and when I look to buy another hand gripper I would look to order again from Valhalla fitness

Really good gripper, a bit harsh on your hands at first but if you have callused hands already you're fine (I've got semi callused hands from this now so I don't feel it).I used to crush 40kg daily but moved up to this 76kg one and my mates have commented on how strong my hands are now from seeing me crush cans and when we attempt to crush eachothers hands to see who's stronger.Quality gripper though, plan on upgrading to a 108kg one in a month or so.

Despite their simple design they fit comfortably enough in the hand. After months of daily usage they haven't lost any rigidity as far as I can, nor has the grip worn down. They do squeak, but that's likely fixable with some WD40 - wish they were properly lubricated out of the package though. I started with the T lvl grippers and moved to lvl 1 grippers, and fully intend to buy the lvl 2 grippers when my strength reaches that point.

If you want a hand gripper that isn't the tiring old s**t that you pump 100 reps out just to feel good about yourself, while getting nowhere, then this is for you.Genuinely tough, a range of levels to choose from, solid grip (recommended to have some chalk).This is a REAL grip trainer.
