Jake Brooks Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I closed the #3 for the first time today. I was showing a guy how to set a gripper with my filled down #2 and it felt as easy as it has ever felt. So I grabbed a #3 and mashed it! The first time I did it Richard witnessed it, the second time I had bert film it with Richard in the foreground watching. I will send in a pic and a video today to be posted.

Jake Brooks Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 So how long have you been "foolin' around" with it before you could close it? I have been trying grippers since I came to work for Sorinex in april, until then I had never seen or heard of "Captians of Crush". My grip was not too bad to begin with so it didn't take long to close a #2, but the #3 was sort of a different story. I started to work with a #2 that I had filled a 1/4 inch off of the inside of each handle to create a longer stroke and I think that is what helped me the most in finnally closing the #3. I wouldn't say that I "train" with the grippers...but I sure play with them alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McMillan Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Congrats on getting the #3 mashed!!! I imagine there'd be a bit of peer pressure with the grippers when you work there Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
