Period. - These are by far the best grippers in the game. They are the standard. The knurling is perfect, not too sharp, not too dull. They are very difficult compared to other grippers of similar ratings, hence the certification process being so difficult. They are one of the few high quality grippers that I can hold in my hand and feel will last a lifetime. They remain the same spread width and difficulty after years of use, unlike some cheap clones I've used. Don't waste money on cheaper alternatives with inferior materials out there -- you'll be happier and stronger. Review: Grippers - One of the best grippers.

Shoukd I start with trainer or #1?** A: Dear Darren:We recommend that you start with the Captains of Crush Trainer. When you can close it for 10-12 full, legitimate reps, you can start to work on the Captains of Crush No. 1 as well. Thank you for your interest in IronMind equipment and best of luck with your training! **Q: Does ordering from Ironmind on Amazon include the coc setting card?** A: Dear Sir/Madam: Many thanks for your inquiry. The Captains of Crush ID card is not included with Amazon CoC gripper purchases. If you would like an ID card after purchasing a CoC gripper on Amazon, kindly send us an e-mail with your mailing address and a copy of your Amazon order and we will be happy to provide a complimentary CoC ID card. Thank you again; we appreciate your interest in IronMind equipment! Sincerely, Judy Mariuz **Q: I have Walmart medium strength grippers. I do them ok I want to move up but not so much that I can't do themWhat Strength COC gripper would suit me?** A: I have those walmart ones and they are easy. If you can do a set of 12 it is time to order the CoC "Guide". I would say they are a little tougher than the walmart ones. I read the walmart ones are 50lb and the CoC Guide is 60lbs so that seems right. Great quality. Or get to where you can do 3 sets of 20 with what you have and get the 80's. **Q: Best no to start with** A: For an adult, normally if a person is ready for serious grip strength training but has not specifically trained with even a plastic-handled sporting goods store hand gripper or done any crushing work, we recommend that they start with the No. 1250 Captains of Crush Trainer gripper, or a No. 1402 CoC Sport gripper. If you have been working with sporting goods store grippers and have worked up into high reps, or if you use your hands daily in a stressful physical task, like construction work, then we recommend starting with the No. 1251 Captains of Crush No. 1 gripper. Please let us know if you have any further questions! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the best, the standard. Period. *by A***Z on August 13, 2025* These are by far the best grippers in the game. They are the standard. The knurling is perfect, not too sharp, not too dull. They are very difficult compared to other grippers of similar ratings, hence the certification process being so difficult.

I’m so close to closing it, I can’t touch the ends yet while gripping them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The very best of all grip trainers - worth the price !!! *by K***M on March 19, 2017* I have used the coc grippers for years and they are the best by far of any product out there. I see other reviewers complain there should be instructions ; if one would take the time to read the back of the package a training regimen is simply and elegantly explained - low reps and high effort. If one wants more there are 4 ! instructional booklets described on the same package for purchase [through Amazon if you wish ] and 5 websites for training info . As to what size /strength to get ? You cant go wrong ! Too easy and it becomes your warm up gripper to prevent injury. Too hard it becomes your goal! Plus the low rep high effort in closing the higher end which for my old office puke I mean business professional hands are the 2.5 and number 3 ; it can be a whole body effort if you keep an erect skeletal form in which you can recruit forearm arm and shoulder then core and legs combined with breathing techniques to close the gripper . If you have to adopt a "thinker "pose or be tempted to use anything as a crutch to close the gripper - back down and train with a lower number. I recommend as does the company post workout massage of your hands and fingers to keep the muscles supple. In my old man opinion true strength includes softness and control. You can use these grippers to have the power to crush or to shake hands with a toddler or woman with a gentleness that they feel no discomfort. Lastly properly used they last for years I have several at least 5 or more years old. With low reps and higher strengths you will wear out before they do ! Happy training! ## Frequently Bought Together - IronMind Captains of Crush (COC) Hand Gripper - The Gold Standard of Grippers | The World's Leading Hand Strengthener - IronMind Expand-Your-Hand Bands 10 Pack: Kiss Elbow Pains Goodbye - Prevent, Rehab, Reduce Pain from Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel.
