Models
IronMind’s original grippers, introduced in 1990, came in three levels of increasing difficulty: No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, with the No. 3 being the most difficult to close. They continue to define the core of the Captains of Crush product line.
In 1992, IronMind introduced the Trainer, a gripper somewhat easier to close than the No. 1. In 1994, IronMind released its most difficult gripper, the No. 4, a gripper that to date only five people have closed under official conditions. (See: Certification)
IronMind introduced two new models in 2004 that were easier to close than the Trainer: the Guide and the Sport. The company released three “bridge grippers” in 2006 – No. 1.5, No. 2.5 and No 3.5 – bringing the total number of gripper models it sells to 10.
All 10 models share the same basic features and are made in the USA.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
