My brother in law is a heavy equipment mechanic. He works with LARGE tools and on large equipment all the time. His hand strength is a astonishing. Don't try to shake hands and squeeze or he will crush your hand.

He injured one hand in some minor accident and when for physical therapy one it to get it back to normal. They start off with getting a base line for hand strength. With an injured hand he pegged the highest reading on the strength meter they ever had before.
The all wanted to be sure he gave it a good squeeze when he was healed up to have a new benchmark.
