  • The J.C. Korth Gripper


    • If you are a fan of hand grippers you'll want to make a note of this one: the earliest patented nutcracker-type hand gripper design was back on May, 14th, 1912: The J.C. Korth Gripper. Grippers were around as early as 1901, but again, this is the first patented design. As you can see, it was part of a dumbbell which makes for a very interesting piece of training equipment.
