Jlark27 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Hi. For those who have tried Robert Baraban grippers, how do they compare to other gripper brands? likes? Dislikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slazbob Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Just thicker handles. I also have an extended one but the spring seems to crack the shine off when you close it haha. They are nice looking grippers …but I never reach for them training much -if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I only have the rb adjustable but don't like it..20 mm handles, too thick, the torsion grippers are also 20 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadgrip Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 the old RBs are really nice- with 19mm handles…. Hard to find BUT had really sharp knurling as well.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMorrissey Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 The ones I have are well built, and feel good to use. As others have mentioned, the handles are slightly thicker, which, in my opinion, makes them slightly easier to close than their poundage would indicate. I don't think variety is a bad thing, though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say sharp knurling, would you compare it to the sharpness of a GHP gripper? I have a GHP 7 and love how much the handle digs into my hand. Seems to stay put much more than the coc do.

Seems to stay put much more than the coc do. yes just like that and maybe just a tad sharper.. if you like GHPs maybe stay away from the newer RBs- the thicker handles are a very different feel from GHPs. If you just want to have a couple different grippers to work with/collect, get an RB- they’re still a quality gripper and have been around for a very long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
