"Good for hand strength"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Features
I teach guitar lessons. The progress of the younger kids was slower due to lack of strength and toughness in the hands. I got them each a Gripmaster (extra light tension) with the caps for toughening the fingertips and told them to use them for 3 minutes, 2X a day (in the car on the way to and from school). They progressed a lot faster, and were excited about their success with the guitar. This was much better than the frustration I was seeing before. I plan to continue to use these with my students.
Value
Considering what they're paying me for lessons, this is a tremendous money saver for the parents. It costs less than 1 month, and increases the student's ability tremendously.
The Wow Factor
Hey, it works.

""Nimblize" Your Fingers!"
Verified Purchaser

I don't see this Gripmaster wearing out in the future. I bought the optional "Ruffcaps" that slip over the finger pads, and have ridges which augment your callouses. they're kind of expensive for what they are, but they have definitely helped me, as a person returning to the world of playing after a 25-year layoff!
Sound
N/A - it's a hand exerciser!
Features
A well thought out product!
Ease of Use
This little device is amazingly efficient! At first, you'll realize that your hands really DO need some exercise.(I'm using the blue, or "light" version.) I found that my finger strength had improved a lot in a less than two week period.
You don't need to use it for long periods of time, either! I use while watching TV, probably for less than 1/2 hour per day. A few minutes here and there add up quickly!
Quality
This is a well made product.
Value
It's well worth the price.
Manufacturer Support
Don't really know, since I haven't needed any! I doubt that this device will ever actually break.
The Wow Factor
This device is more of a "practical" item rather than a "WOW" item!
