Confused at the ease at which them came off I grab the other one. Im confused, I tug hard on one and bam the thing rips straight off. Fast forward a bit more (im not longer sponsored by scramble at this point) and im at home working out and I remember I have the Orangahangs, I wanna train some grip so I open the packet (hadn't been used since I got the replacements) and I hang them on some hooks in my garage to do some pull ups on, I grab each side with a lapel grip, lift myself up and *chhhhhh* I hear a bit of a tear. Fast forward a bit and my sponsors at the time scramble release their own grip trainer and I get sent a pair. I was appreciative as I did like them, I received the replacement pair and I kinda forgot about them. anyway.) and organised for a replacement pair to be sent. In all fairness, the service was excellent, I didnt even have him on facebook so I dont know how he found me (come to think of it, its actaully quite worrying. The owner of Origin found it and contacted me. We pulled and I herd a small tear, I got excited (I like to break shit). I finished my workout by doing an exercise where we attached the pair together and I held one side and the Goat held the other, we pulled until someone let go (kinda a tug-of-war). I excited got them out, did some pull ups, played around etc etc. I loved them, im a huge fan of grip strength and love any grip related toys. I first got the OrangaHang trainers a few years ago. Without shipping, a pair of Orangahangs cost $49 (£31) and a pair of the Scramble trainers cost £20 ($31) (Crazy coincidence.).
Id probably give the edge in feel to the Scrambles as pistol grips and sleeve grips are both pretty useful things to train. They were equal when it came to holding the sides in a lapel style grip. However I found the OrangaHands far better for rolling into a tube and holding like a wrist as the thickness meant when rolled up they had a lot more mass to them than the Scrambles. I've trained with both and found the scramble ones a lot better for using a sleeve grip (grabbing the bottom and curling it around the tip of your fingers) and pistol grips, I found this slightly less practical with the OrangaHangs considering the thickness of the material. The Orangahangs are made of a significantly thicker material than the Scramble trainers.
The scramble trainers need to be put on something with some length to it (barbell, kettlebell, pull up bar) whereas the OrangaHangs can be clipped onto loading pins, chain, bands, etc, etc which just the addition of a carabiner clip. The metal ring allows almost endless attachment possibilites that can be very quickly and easy changed. I feel that in terms of versatility the OrangaHangs take this. The Scramble trainers on the other hand are constructed of a single piece of material comprising of the body and a hole on top that you use to feed the body through to attach it to stuff. You can either feed the loop through its self around a bar or simply use the metal ring and attach that to a clip (or tie shit on it, or whatever you can come up with). The OrangaHangs are comprised or a two piece design the body of the gripper, where you hold on to in various way, and a loop that attaches the body to a thick metal ring. As far as i'm aware I would say that the Orangahangs are probably the most popular and well known having been around a while before the scramble ones, but while the concept is the same the actual design of the two are very different. The concept has been around for a while (I saw some primitive versions of these from a company that I cant remember back in 2006). They are used to work your grip, specifically your hand and finger strength as to strengthen it for when you next grab someones lapel or sleeve. They are pieces of gi like material that can be attached to a number of different pieces of equipment (barbells, pull up bars, kettle bells, cable, etc). Both are these products are of very simple concept. Also neither company has asked me to review these. Yes I was sponsored by Scramble in the past but that shall have no baring on this review, favourably or unfavourably. Firstly I would like to say that this in an unbiased review. The Origin "OrangaHangs" (sweet name) and the Scramble grip trainer (Come on guys you can do better than that). Today I shall be reviewing two similar products by two different companies.
