I new to this forum .i had used the capt crush #1 that a co-worker let me use.I finally brought my own and have had them about a week.i m able to close them and do 15 reps with them.i dont know if i should get the #2 .any advice is welcomed.

If you can close it 15 times per hand it's definitely time to get a tougher gripper.... i'm not saying that your going to close a #2 your first try, but i'd say there's a good chance you might, especially if you use chalk.

I agree with Phil - 15 reps on the #1 would give you a good shot at the #2. But if you have an easy #1 and a hard #2, you might need 20 reps +
A #1.5 or a BBSA might be a good in-betweener. (my #1.5 is about 1.4, and apparently the BBSA is about 1.7 so these two really fill the #1 - #2 gap nicely.
