Cunny Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 After reading about Clay's gripper being returned from a friend. How do you clean your grippers? I find whenever I use Chalk my hands become black after using the grippers is this the chalk lifting the dirt. I don't use chalk every time I use them should I be using it every time.

handgripperman Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 (edited) I use a needle and scrap all of that black stuff out. It takes a long time but if you love your grippers,ITS WORTH THE TIME. Edited October 30, 2004 by handgripperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Stiff nailbrush. Kitchen cleansers such as Comet, Barkeeper's Friend, or Cameo and hot water. Your grippers will look as new. Dry with gripper standing spring down, and then a film of oil on spring to prevent rust. Wire brushes or anything metal can damage the aluminum handle.

EricMilfeld Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Using chalk for all sets, and then brushing the handles clean with a toothbrush immediately after every set has prevented that black buildup ya'll are referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulgrim Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I use a wirebrush, it won't damage the handle(by dulling the knurling) as long as you use a soft metal brush. Or just use a toothbrush or a needle or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_lidstrom Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I pour hot water on the handles. That removes most of the dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I've used a wire brush attachment on a cordless drill, fast, clean and didn't effect any knurling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
