Yeah, my hands hurt too. The only thing that has helped is when I received my "Titan's Telegraph Key" from IronMind.com. It's a small metal contraption that you put a plate on (order the # II for Olympic-sized plates) and you put thumb below the lower lever, other 4 fingers above the upper lever, and pinch down to raise the weight up. It's designed to build up the Pinch Grip, and I've found that every time I do a few sets of about 7 reps, I feel really motivated to then go to the CoC Gripper and squeeze out a few.
Before I began doing the Telegraph Key Pinch exercise, I had a hard time motivating myself to do the CoC grips, since, yes, they do hurt the hell out of the center of my hand (in the muscle, not the skin). But I guess when I warm up with the Pinch Grip exercise, my grip is good to go.
Unfortunately, the Telegraph Key II is a bit spendy, about $70-$85. I'm glad I have mine, but I can't think of an easy way to build one on your own. You might check out this article (requires pdf to read):
