Gripmaster Hand Exerciser, Finger Exerciser (Hand Grip Strengthener), Spring-Loaded, Finger-Piston System, Isolate & Exercise Each Finger

Same as used in med office

The gripmaster finger exerciser is great for those looking to work on finger strength and overall grip. BUT...please realize that these are not designed for whole hand strength work. They are designed for individual finger work. If you are looking for whole hand grip strength training, you should buy a different device. I see people reviewing these devices saying that they are super easy and not worth the money because they can do like 150 reps on the black (heavy) tension. This is because those people are using this device as a whole hand grip strength trainer instead of a finger grip strength trainer.If you are looking to increase your finger strength/dexterity, these are great devices. And as you increase your finger strength, you will automatically increase your overall grip strength.I have been using these gripmaster exercisers for about one year now and I am a normal, 6 foot, 200lbs male. The reason I began using them was I started to have shooting pain in my forearms from the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome. I figured that if I strengthened my hands and forearms, I might have less problems with carpal tunnel. I started with the blue (light tension) gripper and moved up to red (medium tension) after about 4 months of moderate use. During this time, I tried my best to do all the exercises shown on the Gripmaster website: [...] My routine was three sets of decreasing reps once per day. 15 reps followed by 12 reps followed by 10 reps holding each finger or grip hold for 5 seconds.After 4 months I went to the red (medium tension) device and continued my routine. By this time (4 months after initial use), all my pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome was gone. After another 4-6 months using mostly the red device, I decided to try the black (heavy tension) gripper and purchased the black and red combo pack even though I already had a red device. The black device was challenging and still is, but I can still do my normal workout routine with it and it has increased my grip strength even more.The interesting thing was that the new red device was much stiffer than my old red device. This was the first time that I realized that these Gripmaster devices "wear-out" fairly quickly with normal use. By wear out, I mean that they lose tension and become easier to compress over time thereby giving you less of a workout. As best I can tell, within 4-6 months of normal daily use, the tension will be significantly lower than when first purchased.Overall, I don't like that the tension drops off fairly quickly under normal use. But I cannot argue with the results and that is really what matters. As long as you are willing to replace the devices every 6 months or so, you will be very happy with the results from the Gripmaster. I give these devices 5 stars because they do exactly what they are designed to do and strengthened by hands and rid me of carpal tunnel pain. My hands and grip feel stronger and as a bonus...I've found that the hand exercises provide some stress relief as well.Bottom Line: If you want stronger hands, fingers and grip and you are willing to do the exercises as shown on the Gripmaster website, then you should get these devices. I would suggest that all normal adult males should start with the red (medium tension) and go from there. If you are already very strong or already do hand/finger workouts, you may want to start with the black (heavy tension). If you are rehabing an injury (like I was) or are very old or very young, you should probably start with the blue (light tension) device and work your way up. I would also suggest the blue device for normal women to start with. Women who already do hand/grip work could probably start with the red device and move up from there. Thanks.

This has a very good feel it is close to the one I use in physical therapy would buy this brand again

I loved that the product increased my grip strength and my finger strength. I have never felt more stronger in the gym.

An extremely useful hand and finger exerciser for musicians (and no doubt others). After only a weeks use of the medium (red) gripmaster I notice a material improvement in hand and finger strength. Unlike many products this one allows you to strengthen individual fingers- as well as overall grip strength.I may use the firm (black) gripmaster in a few months time, but the red is quite firm enough. Can't comment on longevity yet, but can say that the removable ergonomic palm rest (which is not removable on the pro model) is handy for the exercises to increase down bearing forearm strength.I bought this and bought theraputty locally in black and blue. The theraputty does not result in calluses, which the gripmaster may. The solution is to wear gloves with the gripmaster, and alternate with the theraputty. I use both the red gripmaster and the black theraputty and highly recommend both products for musicians who need to strengthen their fingers/hand/forearm especially after injury. I find this combination excellent although it may be too firm for some, in which case buy the softer gripmaster and putty

I've used traditional grip strengtheners for as long as I can remember. There was a time when I literally took one everywhere I went (it started when I broke my hand and I was using it for rehab). Bought these as an alternative to the regular style because I started learning guitar. At first I wasn't sure because it seemed hard and rough on the fingertips, then I realized thats exactly why I need them. Playing guitar forces your fingertips to build callouses and these actually help with the process as well as helping to train your fingers to work independently of the others, which is essential to guitar as well. They work exactly as I'd hoped when I bought them. I would just caution you to start with an easy one. My grip strength is super strong, but finger tips are a different story. Start slowly and work your way up.

I'd say I have average hand strength for a 22 year old male (I'm short, but rock climbing makes up for it). As others have stated, it's fairly easy to just power grip the device. However, if you use their recommended exercises or come up with your own, it can provide plenty of resistance. I work high in reps (30 to 60 depending on the exercise) while walking to school, and I think it helps. At some point, I will move up to the heavy strength model, which was conveniently included in the combo pack. Definitely worth getting both for me. I will say that the structure is a little bit wobbly. It's not a lot, but I do notice. It also isn't super comfy (but who exercises to be comfy?). I don't know how well it would work for someone with big hands, or particularly small hands. I could see it being a possible problem.

I have had problerms with pain in my joints and this exerciser works great at strengthening and relieving pain.

Der Gripmaster macht einen stabilen Eindruck und wird bestimmt einige Jahre halten. Es lassen sich mit Konzentration Übungen der einzelnen Finger ausführen. Hier ist es sinnvoll und schwer den Ring- und den Kleinfinger gezielt zu trainieren, weil es gerade diesen beiden Fingern an Kraft fehlt im Vergleich zu den übrigen. Die Gummierung und der Haken für die Daumenmulde erlauben einen guten Grip zur besseren Durchführung der Übungen.

Das Gerät macht was es soll und fühlt sich eingentlich gut an.An der Verarbeitung gibt es nach einem Tag Benutzung nichts zu meckern.Liegt gut in der Hand, keine scharfen Kanten oder Ecken.Ob die anderegebene KG Zahl stimmt habe ich noch nicht überprüft.Nur aber das ABER:Ich vermute das es sich um einen Nachbau (Plagiat) handelt.Im direkten Vergleich mit dem schwarzen Gripmaster (auch bei Amazon gekauft) ist hier die gummierte Seite dünner und anders geformt.Warum sollte ein Hersteller bei unterschiedlichen Farben / Stärken andere Griffe verwenden?

Ist perfekt für das Training meiner Finger II-V, wenn ich sie separat belaste. Für das Griffkrafttraining der kompletten Hand und des Daumens ist der Widerstand für mich persönlich zu schwach. Das ist natürlich individuell verschieden.

Cadeau pour une personne qui souffre d arthrose dans les mains , elle s en sert facilement et ça lui fait une bonne rééducation
