I am able to generate more power with a reverse grip pull up compared to regular grip, what does that mean?.

I am currently able to do 5 reps at a time with both regular grip or reverse grip but the first couple of reps with reverse grip it seems way more easier to get my head over the bar compared to regular grip. With a regular grip from the 1st rep it feels difficult but I am still able to do 5 reps. I am trying to understand what is happening here, Has anyone else here experienced anything similar?.

Do these hand grippers help with calisthenics

I was thinking of buying this hand gripper to improve my grip strength and hopefully a bigger forearm. I do have a pull up bar at home and I read here that I should just do dead hangs and not bother with these equipment but I feel like these grippers will be easier on my palms ( I don't like wearing gloves to do pull ups). Are these hand grippers worth buying in general for calisthenics and if so in what exercises will I notice the difference?.
