| 5 | Gripperpedia is collecting reliable information about this gripper brand or model, including its manufacturer, production history, specifications, photographs, and contemporary sources. | 5 | Godlike should not be confused with the separate [Gods of Grip Elite Series](/Gripper_Brands/Gods_of_Grip_Elite_Series). In a January 2022 discussion, reviewer Terry Conjugate Iron confirmed that the grippers in his earlier review were the original Godlike series, not the newly discussed Elite line.[^2] |
| 6 | |||
| 7 | The Godlike range used mythological model names. A surviving Gods Of Grip-branded product listing identifies the gold **Achilles 200 lb** model.[^3] These advertised pound labels are model strengths, not RGC measurements. | ||

| 17 | ## Essential successor | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | The replacement Essential line has five advertised strengths: 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 lb. Its colors are blue, green, gold, red and black respectively. Gods Of Grip describes the Essential handles as having low-to-medium knurling.[^1] | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Those details identify the successor product. They should not be applied retrospectively to every Godlike model or used to merge the two generations into one catalog. | ||
