Made in the USA and known worldwide, nothing else puts power in the palm of your hand like a Captains of Crush gripper.

Why Captains of Crush Grippers?
Training Tools not ToysSo, if you’re serious about having stronger hands—whether you are a senior citizen or a SEAL—pick the best tools you can get your hands on, starting with Captains of Crush grippers. This is the gripper that changed the world, replacing plastic playthings with something suitable for serious strength athletes, IronMind’s focus since 1988. |
Custom Fit for Your NeedsThe world’s leading hand strengthener, IronMind’s Captains of Crush grippers come in 11 strengths, allowing for progressive training, from rank beginner to someone who can literally crush a raw potato in his bare hands. |
Top Quality and AffordableWith legendary build quality and proprietary features, Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers are in a class by themselves, and while you might not have the budget for a world-class car or truck, CoC grippers are affordable so you can get a top-drawer training tool, instead of a piece of mass-produced junk. |
First Family of Grip StrengthCaptains of Crush (CoC) grippers are part of the CoC Compatible (CoC²) of hand strengthening and hand health products developed by IronMind, the industry leader, Grip Central since 1988. |
Where to Start
- If you are a beginner, a senior or a rehab patient, theGuidemight be perfect for you.
- If you are active, but have not been training your grip and your job does not involve hand strength, then the Sport is the most likely place to start.
- If you have been doing serious overall strength training, but have not specifically trained your grip, start with the Trainer.
- If you use the strength of your hands in your job or if you have been training with sporting-goods-store-type hand grippers, start with the No. 1.
Just to keep this in perspective, most people who lift weights cannot close a Captains of Crush No. 1 gripper the first time they try and only rarely do we ever see someone close a Captains of Crush No. 2 gripper on his first attempt.
Grip Training for Baseball
Whether hitting, pitching or throwing, increased wrist and grip strength are key to playing better baseball.
- Hitting: Gain control, boost bat speed, and add the horsepower you need to hit those long balls
- Pitching and throwing: to increase velocity, accuracy, stamina and protection from injuries, make a balanced grip training program a regular part of your workout
Grip Training for Golfers
A strong grip is essential to golf. Pros tend to have greater maximum grip strength than amateurs and—somewhat paradoxically—stronger hands allow you to have a more relaxed grip while maintaining head control and consistent body mechanics.
Grip Training for Shooters
Your thumb is important in shooting, but when it comes to controlling a handgun, it’s secondary to your other four fingers, so your focus is on what’s called crushing grip (think shaking hands and squeezing). Captains of Crush grippers are your first choice for increasing your crushing grip and they will be the cornerstone of your training.
Grip Training for OCR and Climbers
Hand strength is key for obstacle course racers (OCR) and climbers, and most of the grip-related challenges you will face will depend upon the strength and endurance of your crushing grip. Captains of Crush grippers are the fastest route to a stronger crushing grip.
