Thanks for posting.

just ordered the CoC #1 for my gf's dad. i wonder if it will be too easy. he usually has grippers laying around that are vanquished.

what do you think?

The #1 is supposed to be rated at somewhere near ~145lbs. Ironmind claims that the average sports store gripper comes in near 30-50 lbs. So that's a big jump. They also maintain that the average mans grip is approximately ~110lbs. So if he doesn't do too much extra grip work aside from the easy grippers from the sports store, I'll bet the #1 is going to be pretty tough for a while.

The new Milo just happens to have a good article on different objects around the house that can be used to test grip strength.

Crushing an apple: approx to #1 CoC

Crushing a bulb of garlic: approx to #2 CoC

Crushing a raw potato: harder than #3 CoC, takes 25 sec to do

Crushing a walnut in the palm: as hard or harder than #3 CoC

Raquet ball - touching the side walls: a little harder than #2 CoC

Tennis ball - touching the side walls: quite harder than #3 CoC

Note: the above feats are done without using the fingers to "stab" into the objects; finger crushing strength only.

How about crushing a pool ball in your palm ( like the Bond villian OddJob)

I would love it if it could be equated to a CoC gripper somehow, but im thinking a fricken pool ball would be... ya
