I've recently had a number of people, veteran and noob alike, talk to me about hurting their setting hand when doing work with grippers. Knurling on gripper handles can be sharp and just like a cheese grater, it can rip up your finger in short order. How do I keep from turning my finger into hamburger meat? Watch this and find out.

The grippers used in this video are a Captains of Crush #1 rated 79lbs, a Gillingham High Performance 5 rated 113lbs, a Gillingham High Performance 7 rated 153lbs, and a Cannon Powerworks CPW300 rated 184lbs.

You can get all these grippers at www.cannonpowerworks.com.

For a good explanation on gripper ratings (and why the manufacturer rating doesn't mean anything), check out this video: youtu.be/Uvkr771Dym0
