Customer Review: Very nice!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Bought this as a small birthday gift to myself. My goal is to have Popeye-esque forearms soon. I had a hard time trying to figure out what level I should start at, but I went for level 1. My dilemma was that I have small hands, but I have a strong grip for my size. I've deadlifted 3x my bodyweight before and since I've been using chalk (also bought on Amazon), my grip has never been an issue or a limiting factor. I'm glad I ended up getting the level 1 instead of the trainer or the level 2. Even with my small hands, I've been able to get a good grip and come close to closing the level 1 out of the box. I'm sure I can close it for reps after a few weeks.
This thing is high quality and solid. Worth the money. I can see how the knurling might hurt some people's hands, but I've been using chalk on heavy lifts for so long, my hands are quite calloused and comfortable with the grip.
Customer Review: The Ferrari of Hand Grips!!!

If you are really serious about hand grips, and you want something that is not your standard sport shop model, this is where to go. I got the Trainer, and for someone like myself that has been using hand grips since childhood, it was too easy. Then I got #1 and that was tuff; but I decided to get #2 and #3 as well. I have just recently graduated from #1 and using #2, and maybe in a year or more I can go to #3 and get certified.
Let me tell you this, if you can squeeze #2 at least once all the way, you are good. You can't really understand what I am trying to tell unless you get one. So if you are person that has never used hand grips regularly if at all, then go with the Trainer. If you have been using hand grips for awhile, and looking for something harder, then get the #1.
Remember to always squeeze hard!!!

These are the grippers I have been looking for! I have long since been unable to find any in sporting goods stores that offer a serious challenge. These offer that challenge. Also, they offer a recognized standard of training; once you can crush the #1 you can move on to conquer the #2, etc. With off brands it is very hard to compare your progress with anything meaningful. Very well made, I have broken lesser grippers, craking the handles or springs. That's not going to happen with these. Folks with hands unused to tools may find the checkered grips painful at first; if so, wear a glove like you would with any heavy tool. Personally, I do not find them uncomfortable at all to squeeze, but I work with tools a lot and have tougher hands than the average. If you work regularly with these you will too!Customer Review: Wanna shake hands?

It is nice to have a firm, even strong grip. It is not nice to crush the hands of people you meet. But I could...To be serious, I always had a decent grip, but I was set back heavily by an injury to my left underarm. The CoC no1 heped me build the strength in my left hand back up. Without a good grip, I would have real problems performing heavy deadlifts and cleans. You may have tried "grippers" with plastic handles and a light feather before. You know, the ones with almost no resistance. Once you touch a CoC, you know this is something completely different. It is well crafted, feels solid and gives real resistance. Once you build up to sets of eight to ten repetitions of closing this gripper completely, you'll have grip strength that is almost scary for the average person.Customer Review: The superior hand grip developers

Now, I felt all those plastic hand grippers way too easy to train with and could close them several hundred times and keep closed for long periods of time. I began to close those typical sports grippers with only two fingertips involved at a time: thumbs tip and some other fingers tip.
Then I began to wonder if there would be some ultimate tools to further develope in crush strength. I found out about CoC gripper and had #1.5 loaned to me from my neighbor and fell for these grippers. I thought that one should be starting at the bottom and bought #1 and have had them just few days and have almost closed these.
To close CoCs you have to have all your effort in closing them.I can't but give full 5 stars for CoC hand strength developers!
