Product Description
Captains of Crush grippers are recognized around the world as the gold standard for building and testing hand strength--for over fifteen years, these are the grippers used by some of the biggest names in the strength world, as well as by everyone interested in building a better grip for their job or favorite hobby. Easy and fun to train with, these are the grown-up version of those cheap imports you might have enjoyed as a kid. Original, authentic and unmatched, the quality of Captains of Crush grippers is legendary. From their aircraft-grade aluminum handles to their tougher-than-nails springs, these grippers are both precise and durable. If you are ready for serious grip training, we recommend that you start with our Trainer and work your way up, enjoying the challenge at each stage. If you close our No. 3 or our No. 4 under official conditions, we will certify you, giving you the most recognized bragging rights in the world of hand strength. Proudly made in the USA, these are the grippers that everybody talks about. NO. 2: The No. 2 Captains of Crush is formidable, and while it happens occasionally, it is very rare to see someone close this gripper the first time he tries. When you can close the No. 2, you are ready to begin training for world-class levels of hand strength, and dont think this is a game for men only--we have had more than one woman close this gripper.

 Captains of Crush No. 2 April 2, 2008
I have a C of C No. 1. I was able to close it a few times when I first got it and then went up to about 12 reps. I then bought the No. 2. I have had it almost a month and I still cannot close it completely. There is a big jump in level of effort between the No. 1 and the No. 2. I am considering getting the 1.5.
Wow. February 9, 2008
I still can't close this one, but that has nothing to do with the quality of this product. There is absolutely no other gripper that even remotely compares in quality. It's amazing.
It's all been said January 5, 2008
Great product. Does what it says. Do yourself a favor and buy these because you cannot get COC certified with anything else. And who wouldn't want to be certified in a category similar to Magnus Samuelsson and other strong men?
Actually when I got my #2 I was able to close it once the first time. Do yourself a favor like someone already mentioned, have #1 mastered by being able to do several sets of 10 of #1 or at least close to it. My personal goal is to close #3 some day and maybe beyond.
Do Not Start Here!! December 7, 2007

My personal COC grip strength progression has gone as follows.
COC Sport, COC Trainer, COC #1, and now, the COC #2. I have a #2.5 on order and I already own a #3 just for grins; keep in mind, the #3 is light years away from the #2.
Had I started with the #2 (as was suggested to me by an "expert") not only would I not have been able to close it to begin with, but my grip likely wouldn't have developed nearly as strong as it is today, having followed the proper progression.
There are a lot of people who think they should start with the #2.
Really, unless you're an absolute freak-of-nature beast- don't.
The #2 is the threshold for 'exceptional' hand strength. Once you get here, you can bet the farm that your hand strength is going to be superior to most any random person off the street. After conquering the #2, you can decide if you want to continue on the journey and shoot for "world class" hand strength via the #3.
As others have said, the COC #2 is just like all the other COC grippers. Top quality, super durable and high performance.
Incredible, Indestructible, Addictive December 5, 2007

As another reviewer put it, the Ferrari of hand-grips. I was tempted to call it the Cadillac of hand-grips but now that I think about it, that just wouldn't do it justice. These grips are solidly constructed, 100% metal with knurled gripping surfaces and easy to read engraving so you can tell which tension you've picked up (I own several tensions). I've tried every brand I've come across, and these are the best. They don't break, they don't slip, they're consistent and they are available in bone crushing tension levels and many stages between beginner and pro.
