What is certification on the Captains of Crush Grippers?
In 1991, to recognize his exceptional accomplishment in closing our No. 3 gripper—IronMind decided to “certify” Richard Sorin, documenting his feat of grip strength and establishing it as a high water mark for others to shoot for and try to match. We included Richard’s photo and feat of strength in our 1992 IronMind catalog, and when John Brookfield duplicated Richard’s feat in 1992, our gripper certification was off and running . . . although it would be another two years before Tyce Saylor joined the illustrious Richard and John on the world’s most prestigious hand strength list.
