Product Description
Once you exercise with Gripmaster you will notice an amazing difference almost immediately. The patented Gripmaster is the finest hand exerciser in the world because it is the only hand exerciser available which can isolate and strengthen each finger individually. Exercising with your Gripmaster is the ideal way to build and maintain strong, healthy hands.

Amazon.com Product Description
Isolating each finger so it can be exercised individually, the patented Gripmaster strengthens hands, wrist, and forearm with spring-loaded piston technology while ensuring the palm doesn't slip from a molded grip. This model offers heavy tension (nine pounds per finger) and is recommended for men for extra-strong hands. Sturdy and highly durable, the Gripmaster easily fits in pocket or purse, enabling hand exercise anytime, anywhere.

A few daily workouts with the Gripmaster Pro and you'll enjoy better control of a baseball/softball bat, tennis racquet, or golf club, with each finger working in seamless unity with the others. You'll also find a ton of other uses for the Gripmaster Pro, including playing guitar or violin, rock climbing, bowling, target shooting, martial arts, yoga, or even relieving stress while clicking a mouse or gaming for hours on end.

Exercising with the Gripmaster is the most efficient and effective way to maintain the health and conditioning of the hand. It's the ideal way to maintain the suppleness and flexibility of the hand to prevent injury. Each finger of the hand is powered by a completely separate system of muscles and tendons located in the hand, wrist, and forearm. The ability to control the ball or control the bat, racquet, or club all starts with the hands. Your hand is really five separate systems which work in seamless unity. The only way to develop superior strength, endurance, and coordination in your hands is to challenge and develop each finger individually. Once you exercise with Gripmaster you'll notice a difference almost immediately.

5 out of 5 stars Gripmaster for rehab strengthening fingers and hand   January 6, 2009
Gripmaster Hand Exerciser Black, Heavy Tension (9-Pounds per Finger)Law enforcement officer utilized Gripmaster for rehab of right trigger finger that was torn up/broken in a dog attack. The Gripmaster design utilized individual finger strengthening/coordination. It worked very well to quickly bring strength and coordination to the damaged muscles and nerves. purchased 9# and 11# to match weapon trigger pull. Should have started with 5#. It was used in conjunction with a trained occupational therapist. Still use daily. Much more flexibility in exercises to train muscle groups


4 out of 5 stars light pressure hand exerciser   December 23, 2008
This is a well-built product. It's moderately comfortable to use. The pressure is light. For the average person it's easy to do 60 flexes in 1 minute. I gave it four stars because it might induce arthritis in some people. After I used if for a few hours in one day I started to get arthritis type pains in my hand. However, I found it's a great stress reliever if used for 1 minute at a time occasionally.


2 out of 5 stars Not the same Gripmaster you might expect   December 17, 2008
I have a Gripmaster that I bought probably 6 years ago, and it's solid and the movement is very smooth. I bought one of these new versions of the Gripmaster and it absolutely blows.

First, the name/graphics label is not what is pictured. It says "prohands.net". Nice, sounds like a top-tier company [/sarcasm].

Second, the action is not smooth at all. The springs between the palm and middle section stick constantly.

I don't get how there are a bunch of different products called the "Gripmaster" and they are all slightly different versions of the same thing. I need to find the company that is making the version of the Gripmaster that is like my older one, because this new one sucks and is going back to Amazon.



4 out of 5 stars Heavy Tension is too light   November 19, 2008
I am a underweight 29 year old male, and I wanted a hand grip stress reliever when I work at the computer. The "Heavy Tension" should be labeled light tension. The design is good, but the springs need higher spring constants. I am considering getting a higher tension hand grip.


5 out of 5 stars from light to heavy, and beyond.   November 12, 2008
Great product overall. I've started from Light tension and worked my way through medium, heavy is getting a little easier, and I plan on grabbing the Extra Heavy pretty soon. Most of my daily routine involves hand labor...to keep my joints healthy I take glucosamine & condriotin, and work my hands out with these Gripmasters. I'm on a computer doing graphic work and design, typing, and stringing lacrosse sticks most of the day at work, and I've been playing guitar for years, and I can honestly say, for those who use their hands a lot for tedious or labor intensive actives, or just for general sports like hockey and tennis, and computer work, these are a great tool to build up finger and hand strength. I'd also suggest starting light and working up from there, depending on age, and hand strength. I'm slim, 22, not really built, but my hands can take abuse and come right back for more. Read the instructions also...it's much better to do more reps of whatever exercise you plan on doing of a lighter tension, then only a few of a heavier tension. Also, to build more wrist and forearm strength, I'd suggest one of those gyro balls that must be kept in motion...compliments the Gripmaster very nicely.
