Product Description
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 medium tension (seven pounds per finger) and is recommended for men. 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.

 Heavy Tension is too light November 19, 2008
Daniel B. Thompson
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.
 from light to heavy, and beyond. November 12, 2008
Thomas Debole (long island, ny)
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.

Hand Strength Reduces the Rate of Aging ... October 24, 2008

According to Dr. Oz and You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You), hand strength reduces the rate of aging ... so this was one of several products I purchased as I implemented the Staying Young program.
I am extremely happy with the construction of the product, the size, and the usability. Everyone in my family messes around with it when they see it setting around so I'll be buying the next levels up for them: Gripmaster Hand Exerciser Blue, Light Tension (5-Pounds per Finger) and Gripmaster Hand Exerciser Red, Medium Tension (7-Pounds per Finger) and Gripmaster Hand Exerciser Black, Heavy Tension (9-Pounds per Finger).
I am in my mid-40s and not the "strongest tool in the box" so I purchased this extra-light tension version so as to not inadvertently cause damage to any muscles, tendons, or ligaments. I made the right call with this tension level and enjoy using this device while I'm on my daily walks. Because you use the fingers separately or together, it gives you many more options for hand strengthening than the more typical grippers. Also, the package includes a glossy page of different exercises that you can do.
The product came exactly as pictured. It's inexpensive, durable, attractive, and seems like you would use it forever (who doesn't have an opportunity to sit around a squeeze with your hands?) -- so I put this on the "everyone should get one" list.
Bon Appetit!
