Maybe not being able to close them was a little bit mental as well as physical?
After a year of trying I could imagine getting ground down somewhat.

Congratulations, Red! We're all proud of you. :thumbsup:

NEWFLASH:

My left paw, despite its constant use, isn't quite as strong as my right.

Bought S, T, #1 and #1.5. Still can't get No. 1 ten times on the left yet.

My goal is to get where RedJake was in the last post. Crush the #2.5.

My current update is: I can close the #2 3 or 4 times in a row with my right hand.

My left hand is about this far | | from closing the #2. So far at work 5 people have closed the #2. I've got a poster on my wall at my desk that challenges coworkers to my grippers!!! I bet 100 people or more have tried the #2 but only 5 have did it. I work with LEOs so a lot of them are stronger than the average guy but still only 5! I think I'll get the #2 shut on my left hand fairly soon.
