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.

 It's ok...Had better September 1, 2010

I was debating over getting the 7 pound or 11 pound version. I wish I would have gone with the 11. The 7 pound isn't actually too much resistance. As many other reviews have said though, it's pretty uncomfortable. The black back on the exerciser isn't really a pad, it's more like the slightly rubberized hard plastic (kind of like on some cell phones). The tips where the fingers lay are directly on hard plastic as well. I have larger hands, but my hands aren't beefy. So it doesn't hurt from challenging my muscles, it literally hurts to the bone after a while. That being said, this device doesn't offer much travel. I can tell when I squeeze, I'm not getting full travel in my grip. Therefore I'm not completely working my muscles. I wrapped a small towel around this for padding and started getting tired after about 200 reps, which is too long for me. So personally I would have preferred the 11 pound version for more of a challenge. I work in a call center so I've used a lot of these hand exercise devices for a long time. The guy next to me at work said it's fine, so this device doesn't seem to be universal, but depends on your hand type. Price was reasonable and shipping was quick. Overall it's a good product I'd say. Build quality is acceptable but not exceptional. Just not the one for me.
 Rock Climbing Finger Power August 31, 2010

I bought this product to strengthen my fingers for rock climbing and I am very satisfied. I have used the overall hand exercisers in the past that are for the full hand. The thing I really like about this product is individual fingers can be worked separately or in groups. The prohands website also provides a list of exercises that are great for different activites. The padding and overall comfort is very good. I can use this for a ton of reps and there is still no discomfort. This has really helped my climbing skills and let me advance a few levels because of the smaller holds that I can now use. Also good for guitar playing, firearms training, among other things.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1D7TOT5C0IM5H My purpose was to build up my forearm and grip. some say that this product is excellent for guitar players and I can see how this product assists in playing a guitar

I bought this on the recommendation of my guitar instructor. I am glad that I did, this product has strengthened my fretting hand so much faster than just playing alone could do. Just be sure you don't go overboard as repetitive motion will cause carpal tunnel.

Well this has to be about one of the best devices out there to strengthen your individual fingers. While other grip strengthening devices, like the "Captains of Crush" squeezers, will most surely improve one's overall grip, there's always a chance that the stronger fingers are doing most of the work, leaving the weaker ones getting a less than perfect workout. Not so with the Gripmaster.
I've been lifting weights for over 20 years and after trying this, I found several of my fingers weak, that is being unable to participate a lot when I tried to squeeze my Gripmaster. I got the red one, which is medium tension, and while overall its not TOO hard to do, there are a few fingers that just can't keep up! I think what I'll do is just use this one until all my fingers can do the exercise equally, and then move up to the next higher tension model.
Looking for a good way to strengthen the individual fingers? Try it- you'll be surprised how much of a workout some of your fingers will get. Guitar players, people who type a lot, or anyone trying to rehab a hand will greatly benefit. Also suggest Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow for elbow tendonitis.
