Excellent!
It’s been over a year and still handling amazing! For those of that are having squeaky problems I recommend using WD40 as it will help with the squeaking. Trust me I used it and now it’s no longer squeaking. Please take into consideration that it is a metal and it is bound to squeak at one point or another. Also, I recommend using a tennis racket wrap like Prince or something like it and it will work like a charm. See picture below.
This product is well made and I am going to be purchasing the 140 next. If it squeaks, WD40 it, if the grip is too sand paper feel use a tennis racket wrap which you could buy at any sporting goods store

I crush you.
These are some pretty serious grippers. I have above average hand strength from doing manual labor all my life, swinging sledgehammers etc. so I decided to go with the men's set with the 1, 1.5, and 2 grippers. Im glad I did, I can close the number one probably eight times, and the 1.5 once so its a perfect place to start. The knurling is very aggressive, so if you fold doilies and pet rabbits for a living you may want to wrap the handles in cloth tape. Perfect for toughening your palms though. I would also recommend the expand your hands bands to keep from messing your elbows up.

Superior Quality Grippers
These are the best grippers on the market bar none. They have a high quality finish and are made with gym quality materials. I bought the mens set (1, 1.5, 2). If you have never trained with grippers in the past I would definitely recommend starting with the trainer gripper. The Size 1 gripper is no joke. Most people that I know that have tried it cannot close it. It took me about 1 month using it prior to moving into 1.5. For anyone who types all day in an office, these grippers are great to have on your desk to work out your fingers, hands, and forearms throughout the day. Great way to prevent carpal tunnel!

Captain of Crush #1--140lbs
Recently ordered the 140lb Crush Grippers and it is a good workout. I was on the fence on which one's to get as I exercise regularly. So for those trying to figure out which ones to get: Here is my current strength level--Dumbell Curls at 65lbs/ea, deadlifts 400lb+ up to 12 reps. Since these are the two things I can think of that are directly associated with grip strength I would say these #1 grips at 140lbs are good if you're around that grip strength level. I do a few reps and it's pretty tough to close it completely up to the point where the handles touch and then hold for several seconds. When I first got it I was able to do a few reps and hold and it was moderately tough. So, if you're a regular weight lifter #1 or #2 Captain Crush Grips would be good to play it safe.

SNAP !!
Bought a few sets over a year ago. Used primarily the 0.5 and 1.0. Broke left wrist, took a few months away from the grippers. Went back to the 0.5 a couple months ago to work back to the 1.0. Grabbed the 0.5 this weekend and pop, there she went. Spring steel fatigue for sure. Contacted Ironmind, they absolutely refused to stand behind their product. Oh well, still really cool grips.

Love it!
I bought the No. 1 with a few doubts. I never trained my grip before, and it says most weight lifters can't close it. When it arrived, I tore the package open like a kid on Christmas. I was surprised that I was actually able to close it. I can only do reps of 5-7, but, man, is it a challenge. Around rep 4, I start to make some of the ugliest faces known to mankind lol. Well built and fits great in my hands. Definitely can't wait to move up in numbers. Great product.

CoC - Advanced Set
Just received my advanced set this past week. The set includes the trainer, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 grippers. Each gripper comes individually packaged, and can be opened as needed so you can keep the ones you aren't ready for yet in new condition, or whatever you wish to do. I had not been training grip strength at all before this, and after only a few days, I am already feeling the improvement. Day 1 I struggled to close even the trainer, and I am now already up to closing the 1.5 (beginner gains I know!). I will probably move up to the 2 soon, but don't want to get ahead of myself. Anyway, the grippers are high quality, and probably the best available on the market. I believe that it pays to buy the right product in the beginning, so I went all out on the introductory set, and am glad I did. As I progress, I will just get the other individual grippers piecemeal as I feel the need. As with most physical things, there is actually a lot of technique involved that the lay grip-strength student will be unaware of, so I would recommend to anyone just starting out to check out the plethora of videos on Youtube (some better than others) that are devoted specifically to CoC gripper training and technique. These will bring you up to speed on holding, setting, closing the grippers, ect., and will help tremendously with ensuring proper gripper training. I believe there are also some books for sale, but you can probably just get all you need for free online. I would definitely recommend purchasing any of the gripper options for anybody serious about improving there grip, or even overall strength training.

Great Product
I just received the CoC's that I ordered. Got a Sport, Trainer, and 1. Wanted to get a light one, working one, and figured I wouldn't be able to close the 1 yet. The Sport is pretty easy, Trainer is good for me to work on, and I am about 4 mm from closing the 1. Craftsmanship is really quality, nice weight but not heavy. The round handles don't let you cheat and kind of tuck the grip in your palm like some cheaper ones I've had. For strength reference, I lift routinely weights, including wrist curls, and use hand tools to carve wood, so I'd say the 1 and either a Sport or Trainer would be an excellent combo for someone starting out with grippers. Have fun!
