Primus Crimp Pot Gripper

The Primus Crimp Pot Gripper is a hard-anodized aluminum pot handle designed for backpacking and camp cooking, combining the stability of a fixed handle with the quick-release flexibility of a traditional pot gripper. It locks onto the pot rim and stays secured until released with a push button, and at 2.5 oz it stows easily between uses.

Locks On, Stays Put

The Primus Crimp Pot Gripper crimps onto the pot rim and holds firm throughout cooking, with no shifting, no tilting, and no need to hold the pot steady with a second hand. That locked position matters most when you are managing a boil on an uneven rock or a tilted stove grate, where a loose gripper or a slippery cloth would introduce real risk. The grip stays in place until you choose to release it, so the only time the handle moves is when you want it to.

One Button, Any Pot

A single push-button release lets the Primus Crimp Pot Gripper detach in a moment and reattach to a different pot just as quickly. One gripper can serve an entire cook set: a pot for boiling water, a pan for a second dish, without carrying a separate handle for each piece. The hard-anodized aluminum construction is designed to protect the pot rim's integrity during repeated attach-and-release cycles, so the pots it grips stay undamaged over time.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Primus Crimp Pot Gripper suits backpackers, bike packers, and camp cooks who carry a cookset without fixed handles and want a single, secure grip that moves between pots. It is a practical choice for anyone cooking on a camp stove where a stable handle reduces the risk of spills.

The Crimp Pot Gripper is a handle accessory only. No pot, cookset, stove, or fuel is included.
