 Just awesome! Oct 23, 2006
By April P
I used to try to strengthen my fingers using the Gripp balls, and later, the Gravity Gripp, which were grip balls that were also 1 pound weights. However, they were bulky, hard to get a grip on, and heavy and pretty silly looking. So, when I saw the picture of these awesome little gizmos in a catalog, I ordered one right away. They are about the same price of the Grip balls, but they are SO much cooler! Not only is this good for fitness training, they're even better for musicians! (my instrument is piano.) These are light and flat and they fit right into a purse. I don't feel silly using this out in public -- if anyone asks, I just let them try it, and they are immediately hooked. I carried my blue one around everywhere until this weekend, when I gave it away to a friend.
It is difficult to know which tension to use. I'm a woman with small hands, and found that I am right between the blue and the red. I use the blue one for 4th and 5th finger (left hand). I can usually handle the red one for everything else, but the booklet says that repititions are more effective than heavier tension. I use mainly the blue one now. I hope to work up to the red, but that will be a while. I'm also going to buy a couple more so I can work both hands simultaneously.
I do have one caveat -- make sure you use these correctly. Don't overdo it, or try to use a heavier tension to just to feel all macho. Like any weight training, you have to press the buttons precisely to isolate the muscles. Don't use your whole arm just to get the button pressed. I found that if I started to cheat, I got a little wrist pain and felt the beginnings of tendonitis. (another reason I'm staying on the blue tension for now.)
Oh, and buy your Gripmaster here at Amazon. They are $15 each everywhere else.

Should be standard equipment for all guitar players! Feb 15, 2011
By FordChick73
I love this product!! I just love it! Any guitar players out there who are reading these reviews, wondering whether or not they should invest in this tool, go ahead and click the "purchase" button!
I bought this one because I wanted to strengthen my fingers to better my guitar play. I bought the blue one (5 lbs) and this was a good one for me to start with. I am pretty strong so I was going back and forth regaring which one I should get, but I'm glad I aimed low and went for the blue because even though my grip is strong, when it comes to my individual fingers, that was an entirely different issue.
I've been practicing with the hand exerciser for about a week now, and my guitar has never sounded so good! I can play for a very long time with my chords being nice and solid the entire way through, I'm so happy I went ahead and bought this hand exerciser. On their website, they have various hand exercises you can do, depending on what purpose you got the exerciser for. There is a section specifically for guitarists (and even within this section, it is divided into various types of guitars, such as bass, acoustic etc...).
My pinky finger is slowly getting stronger, it's the slowest one in catching up, and no doubt I will purchase the next level up once my pinky is as strong as the rest :)
(I also bought that ruff rider attachment for this hand exerciser, which purpose is to help build or maintain calluses, and this too was money well spent! My calluses has built up very quickly, and what's even better is that I can take this with me on vacation, or if I go through a period with little guitar play, I can work out with the hand exerciser in order to keep my fingers nice & callused. I highly recommend for guitarists to spend the extra $$ for this attachment.)
Anyway... I have nothing bad to say about this tool. I totally love it. All guitarists ought to have one of these, or perhaps multiple.... for various locations (such as 1 in the car and 1 in the guitar bag or something like that).

Great Product + Great Price = Great Way to Work Your Hands & Forearms! Nov 22, 2005
By Kelly Garbato
"www.easyvegan.info"
I recently purchased a pair of the Gripmaster Hand & Finger Exercisers in order to help build forearm strength. As I was unsure which tension would be appropriate, I bought one each of the Light/Blue (5 lbs. tension) and Medium/Red (7 lbs. tension) grips. I've had them for a little more than a week now, and I just love, love, love them! Perhaps that's a little more enthusiasm than anyone should muster up for exercise accessories, but I really do enjoy the grips. I leave one out on my desk at all times, and get in a little work here and there when I stop to read a document or whatnot.
The Gripmaster Exercisers are different from conventional grips in that you can either work your entire hand at once, or each finger individually (great for guitar players, I've heard!). One side features four small levers, each with its own spring, that can be squeezed together or one at a time. The plastic on the flip side is molded together so that you can work your whole hand as one unit. The black rubber cushion is removable, and you can place it on either side of the grip. It's an awesome idea, and allows for maximum versatility!
Just for reference, I'm a female, in relatively good shape, but with painfully little forearm strength (my biceps are huge from years of Tae Bo, though!). The 7 lb. Medium/Red grip is do-able, but challenging. The 5 lb. Light/Blue grip, on the other hand, makes for a much easier workout; I oftentimes find myself squeezing it while doing other things, and I only feel it after a number of reps. If you're a female and not in great shape, you'll want to start out with the Light/Blue grips (or even the Extra Light/Yellow ones), and work your way up. Out-of-shape guys can probably get away with the Medium/Red ones to start. If you've got good hand/wrist/forearm strength, don't even both with the lighter tensions - skip ahead to the Medium/Red or Heavy/Black.
Although I've only owned my Gripmasters for a week or two, and can't personally vouch for their durability, they do seem sturdy and well-crafted. My fiancé's brother, an amateur boxer and guitar player, used his for years without a problem, so I have faith that I'll be squeezing these babies well into 2015!

By Ann
I injured my arm and hand, this is one of the tools I used in the Rehabilitation Clinic. This is a quaility product,the blue one is the one I use the most at home. I am 69 years old. This is a good product to help strenghthen fingers and hand. I purchased the yellow one also.
I would purchase both again.

 Definitely takes some grip! Oct 31, 2009
By Carl Reed
I got this to strengthen my fingers for guitar playing. I have to say it definitely takes some serious grip to use. I strongly considered getting the yellow model with lighter tension (3 lbs), but after a little research opted for the blue model with five pounds per finger. I'm okay with it, but I do think the lighter tension model would have been easier for my two smallest fingers. My two smallest fingers are the weakest and can only slightly move this 5 lbs of tension. That's why I think for my purposes, I would have preferred being able to move and strengthen all the fingers. I would suggest researching the models on the internet and reading about them before you buy. Also if you are like I was with doubt about your hand/finger strength you should probably go with the lighter tension model. Overall the Gripmaster is made very nice and serves the purpose. I have no complaints with the product. Just know your abilities.
