Just released, "The 2004 edition of the No. 3 Captains of Crush® gripper continues the IronMind® tradition of continually working to improve the appearance, precision and durability of this world-renown gripper.

"Even when our progress is subtle, we seize every opportunity to improve our grippers, so we have always said that our latest grippers are also our best grippers," according to a company statement.

An object of passion for many, Captains of Crush® grippers are the benchmark for grip strength enthusiasts around the world, and outstanding performances on them have been formally recognized since 1991, when IronMind began certifying people who closed the No. 3 Captains of Crush® gripper under official conditions.

Richard Sorin was the first man certified as closing the No. 3, and he is also the first person who will receive the 2004 edition of this icon of the grip(per) world.
