Another Grateful Customer

We recently received a letter from a man telling us he was ordering a pair of our new grips.  He said he had been on crutches for over 30 years and after shoulder surgery was having pain due to pressure at the base of his thumb on the opposite hand.  He had doubts our grips would help relive this pain, but decided to order a pair of our closeout grips rather than replace his standard rubber grips which routinely wear out.  After installing and using one of the Robbins Grips, he found the weight distribution over his palm truly relived the pressure on his thumb.  He was so impressed he wrote us and told us we “had made a great product!” and ordered a pair of the newer grips made from the strengthened material.

It is really nice to have someone tell you that you have “made a great product!”  Even though we have heard that before it is always good to hear again.  If you use crutches and your hands are hurting, maybe you should give a pair of Robbins Grips a try.

Good News We are back on track!

Some time ago we were forced to change manufacturers.  In the process we changed not only manufacturer, but also manufacturing method.  We moved from rotational molding to injection molding for our grips.  This also meant a drastic change of material.  Before implementing the change, we had the grips lab tested and certified.  Regrettably, it turned out that once in service some of the grips did not hold up to the standards needed.  Though they would not break, some of the grips did, after use, start to show evidence of cracking.  We put production on hold until a solution could be found.

We are very pleased to say that a new, stronger material has put us back on track.  Through more testing and in service use by several of our full time crutch users we are pleased to be back in production.

Currently we are limited in colors and only have creamy white and black.   However, we hope to have pink, blue and possibly granite before long.

We are still offering a few pair of our original rotational molded grips at a discounted price. Several of our customers have used those continually since we originally went on the market, and been grateful  to have them.  Indeed, it is input from these uses that has allowed us to refine and improve our grips over the years. 

We enjoy hearing from our customers and take all feedback seriously, and strive to make a product that keeps every user happy.
