The CoC Silver Bullet will put you on target for your gripper goals: hang a small weight from the strap, slip the end of the CoC Silver Bullet in between the handles of your favorite Captains of Crush Gripper, and clamp down and hang on for dear life. If you let the gripper open up even a hair, the Silver Bullet will fall to the ground (watch out for your feet!), marking your best effort.
John Brookfield's seminal MILO article "Hand Grippers: Closing the Gap" [July 1996, Vol. 4, No. 2] inspired strap holds: the idea that you could effectively train on grippers by hanging a small weight from a strap and then hold the strap in place by crushing down extra hard. This proved to be a potent training tool as it provided a new way to tax and build your grip strength as well as a way to effectively divide the gap between your favorite grippers ...
Very serious grip guys, contest organizers, and those who like modern art will want their own Silver Bullet Disc for training and competing--or maybe just hanging on the wall.

Genuine CoC quality, about as tough to close as a sporting goods store gripper. If you're weak as a kitten, rehabbing or just want to start easy, get a Guide. For beginners, seniors, rehap patients. Similar in difficulty to a sporting goods store gripper, but with legendary Captains of Crush quality.
Guide @ 60 lb.
Known around the world as the gold standard for building and testing hand strength, Captains of Crush Grippers are the single most important grip strength tool you can choose--for the quickest gains in grip strength and hand health.
Where serious grip training starts, this is harder to close than anything you'll find in a sporting goods store. If you're ready for serious grip training; athletes, weightlifters, public safety officers, and Sport CoC graduates. This is the stepping stone to the larger-caliber CoC Grippers.
Point Five @120 lb. Transition to the powerhouse CoCs, the Point Five is perfectly positioned to give you the boost you need to conquer the No. 1. No more excuses . . .
No. 1 @140 lb. If you've been training your grip already, start here; most strong guys cannot close the No. 1 the first time they try. This is the benchmark gripper for having a good, strong grip.
No. 1.5 @ 167.5 lb.: The bridge between a No. 1 CoC and a No. 2 CoC. If you are still gaining strength rapidly on the No. 1, move directly to the No. 2. If your gains are slowing down and you are clawing for progress, go to the No. 1.5.
No. 2 @195 lb.: Master the No. 2 if winning or losing--or living or dying--might depend on your grip strength. When you get to the No. 2, you're in the realm of extraordinary grip strength, exactly what you need if your life, or someone else's, depends on how strong your hands are.
No. 3.5 @322.5 lb.: Bridge the gap between the No. 3 CoC and the No. 4 CoC. IronMind will certify your accomplishment if you close a No. 3.5 under official conditions.
Agility: light action for every hand. Less resistance than a CoC Guide, for hands that hurt or for a warm-up that is like using an empty bar, even if you can snatch 200 kg. Keeping your hands strong, limber, and agile is key to preventing hand pain and injury. This friendly light-action Zenith Gripper is designed for everyone who wants to take his or her hands for the equivalent of a daily walk: it works out the kinks, gets the blood pumping, and feels good even on hands like Scarlett O'Hara's.
