Grippers: James

I use the grippers from Ironmind. They are very high quality and will prove a challenge to anyone that picks one up. The grippers I use vary from:

#1   140lbs to close   This is the one in the video below for more than 100 clicks
#2    195lbs to close  This is the one I do a lot of work with
#3    280lbs to close   I still can't close this one yet, a few mm left
#4    365lbs to close   I can barely budge this one.


From the left: older #1, older filed #2, newer #2, older # 3, newer #3, older #4.
I have more than one of some because they each have slight differences in hardness to close.
I filed the edges of one of the number 2's to make it more difficult to close.
