## Overview

The IronMind TUG Gripper is a precision-engineered hand training tool made from aircraft-grade aluminum with a proprietary GR8 spring. Designed to train individual fingers and thumbs, it protects soft tissue while complementing IronMind’s Captains of Crush system. Lightweight and portable, it’s crafted in the USA by the industry leader since 1988, making it a must-have for serious grip strength enthusiasts.

## Description

Ever notice that your fingers differ in length and strength? IronMind did and set out to design a sharp-looking little gripper that allows you to train your fingers one or two at a time, and unlike conventional hand grippers, it also allows you to train your thumb. Think of IMTUG as being like a tug boat?short, stout, powerful and irresistible?in your grip strength and hand health training program. Perfect for standalone training or used in conjunction with Captains of Crush or Zenith grippers, also from IronMind. Comes with complete training information, backed up by IronMind?s expert, ready-to-assist customer service.

Review: Great product highly recommend. - Bought an imtug 2 and a 4, I use the 2 when I’m just sitting watching tv or carry it in my pocket and use it when I’m out and about as it’s not very difficult, then a 10 reps in 3 different grips of my 4 every few hours been using it for a week or so and I use it to mainly strengthen my pinky as I was struggling to fully close my coc grippers, so I thought strengthening the pinky would help and I actually fully closed my 1.5 thinking it was my 1 which I was having a hard(ish) time fully closing so I thought right, they’re great and very handy to carry around in a pocket compared to a coc and you can use different grips to work different muscles. I would recommend buying 2 different weights a higher and a lower.
Review: Excellent as always from Ironmind - Great compliment to using captains of crush. I can almost close a number 2 CoC but as soon as I use these things on my pinkie and ring finger I can’t budge them and it’s more a coordination thing than strength. I bought the 4 and 5 but in order to use an imtug for my pinkie and ring finger I reckon I need to go much lighter. I am possessed of small hands mind you so I’m no expert on other people but I literally cannot budge the suckers I own.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I know which one to start with? There are too many different levels of strength and it doesn’t provide any helpful info**
A: Dear Nicholas:
 
Many thanks for your inquiry. 
 
For an adult, normally if a person is ready for serious grip strength training but has not specifically trained with even a plastic-handled sporting goods store hand gripper or done any crushing work, we recommend that they start with the No. 1250 Captains of Crush Trainer gripper, or a No. 1402 CoC Sport gripper.
 
If you have been working with sporting goods store grippers and have worked up into high reps, or if you use your hands daily in a stressful physical task, like construction work, then we recommend starting with the No. 1251 Captains of Crush No. 1 gripper. 
 
For more information about selecting a CoC gripper, please see the following information on our CoC grippers FAQ page:

You are also welcome to give us a call at 530-272-3579, M-F, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm PST and we would be happy to talk with you about making a gripper selection.
 
Thank you again for your interest in IronMind products.  Please let us know if we can help you further.
 
Sincerely,
 
Melissa Galpin

**Q: How do i know which tug gripper to buy?**
A: Dear Steven: You would select the IMTUGs based on your interest in developing your pinch grip, ring/pinkie fingers or middle/index fingers as well as where you are training on the Captains of Crush grippers. For example, if you are working with the CoC Guide or Sport, you will want an IMTUG1 or IMTUG2; if you are working with the CoC Trainer, Point Five, or No. 1, you will want an IMTUG2 (pinch), IMTUG3 (ring/pinkie), or IMTUG4 (middle/index). If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you.

**Q: How difficult is it to close a tug 7? is it easier than the coc no. 4?**
A: 7 is hard. You are suppose to start with the easy ones first, and work your way up

**Q: How can you tell them apart? Do the grippers have a label on it to determine its resistance level?**
A: on the bottom of each gripper there is a letter stamped to tell them apart. mine are G, S,T, and 0.5. that corresponds to 40, 60, 80, and 100 lbs. when you buy one, the packaging will list all the letters and what they correspond to.
