I have one, so start screaming! Not for sale though. Here's a link to the pic. www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/davidhornesgrippercollection.htmlI got it from strength historian Joe Roark, who got it from Jubinville. JUBINVILLE (Ed) (Pictured left) Roark inscribed on the handle. Joe told me that “ Ed wanted to have a gripper made that would be slightly harder than the Iron Mind #3, and he was confident that the product he achieved accomplished that goal. It also seems he told me he had a batch of 100 of them made”. Ed gave this gripper to Joe, and Joe has given it to me. |

Thats great David.!!!! Joe Roark's Iron history is my favorite site on the net. If you are into strength training history, Equipment, Records Etc.. Iron history is the place. I have the some of the old Iron man mag grippers (Body Culture). made by Warren Tetting , and an orig. Tetting version Titan telegragh from the 1960's (Slightly different from Iromnind). The Jubinville gripper has escaped me so far.. Jim

what dates where the Jubinville gripper made? I have a old gripper that looks likes the picture David has posted that was painted all black when I got it. No markings. Was advertised as being the strongest gripper at the time ie harder than the iron mind #3. Don't remember who I bought it from.

James,
Yes I like Roark's Iron History site, and have a look daily.
I have 6 x Iron Man grippers from the 60/70s as you can see in that link too. Three are non-knurled and the hardest is very touggh to close.
Steve,
I would say the Jubinville gripper would be produced 70/80s period.
