Straps help like you said, even when grip fatigue sets it you back is still holding out and waiting on several more reps, that's where I find straps useful when you are fatigued from high reps but you have several more left in you..

Oh ya bro I got the blue ones those things are awesome try to wrap them around the pull up bar and do some lull ups the thicker the bar the harder it's is. I like them with dumbbell curls also it's harder to do them. I just don't use the grips everyday I don't want to get used to them so I just throw them in there sometimes but ya they are very cool

But these if you put a weight on the bar that you can DL for 10 and put the grips on you will be shocked to see you will be lucky to get 6 maybe 7. That’s just my experience. But ya they are awesome.
I have to disagree with this though.I have carpal tunnel and sometimes drop the milk getting it out of the fridge.
I only use them when I need am but on heavy stuff like shrugs my traps are way stronger than my grip. If I was shrugging gallons of milk my traps would be shittier than they already are.
