D’Addario Varigrip Hand Exerciser–Improve Dexterity and Strength in Fingers, Hands, Forearms- Adjust Tension Per Finger– Simulated Strings Help Develop Calluses- Comfortable Conditioning

I settled for this particular model on the basis of other reviews and its brand. To date, I have not been disappointed, it’s doing what I want it to do and I am already feeling the benefits. It is easy to use and easy to adjust the spring tensions for individual fingers. Initially I found the fourth finger key too strong, but by altering the strength on the other fingers, within days found significant improvement on the fourth finger which already transferred into my woodwind, keyboard and string playing. Taking off the grey moulding to cover the keys is really simple and doing the exercise to maintain string callouses is simple and again, effective. This is a robust, compact and simple device, stores and transports easily. Some may quibble at its cost but I think it easily justifies itself, is easy to use and produces results quickly. A basic but really useful tool for the musician- I’m very pleased I bought this, to borrow another well known phrase: “ it does what it says on the tin” ( although this one comes plastic sealed to a card:D). Some may think five stars rather generous, but it does and is continuing to do all I expected of it so how could I give it less? After all, I’d happily buy it again if I need to.

It looks and feels well made. It performs quite well in a number of configurations, and it all depends on what you expect from it. I was a bit disappointed that the tension was as strong as it is at it's weakest setting - this makes it difficult to use as a practise aid for finger co-ordination - for example for finger picking guitar or trumpet etc. Weaker springs would have made this much easier, and tension could be increased if desired. I bought the varigrip mainly to exercise my fingers at the onset of arthritis, and I'm not sure that it will actually help. This is mainly because it is difficult to use the grip to bend specific finger joints enough, and I now also have my doubts about strength exercises actually easing the symptoms of arthritis anyway. No doubt the grip will improve the strength of fingers, hand and wrist, if that's what you want.

Definitely helps to buildup strength in your fingers, and I like the added feature of being able to build up the calluses on the finger tips. Very well made, and the price was reasonable. Recommended!

Good quality works well

Great hand’s strengthener. Very useful wheels to adjust intensity and its ergonomic

I bought this to increase the strength in my fingers for playing the guitar as I was getting pain in my index finger joints when trying to learn bar chords and I also didn't have much strength in my little finger. I've been using this for a few weeks now and have found it to really help. I would prefer if the index finger could be harder as I find it a little easy to depress, even on its hardest setting. The little finger however could do with being made easier as it is hard to depress it fully even on its lightest setting. I'm not sure how beneficial the mock guitar strings will be for me as I play regularly so I can't really comment too much on their effectiveness, however if ever there is a point that I am unable to play for a while then I will definitely try this out. I've lost my finger callouses a couple of times in the past so know how painful it is to build them back up again and if this can prevent that then it's definitely worth a try!

As a guitarist I'm a bit cranky about things that might affect my ability to play and, helping an elderly friend with her gardening I used many 2-stroke power tools for a while until my hands began to ache and feel a bit seized up. When those danger signs came along I stopped using the equipment and broke out the elbow grease, but still needed to rehabilitate my hands from the RSI-inducing traumas of power tools. This has proven perfect to do just this. Physiotherapy is all about very subtle movements that bring back the use of hands, and any other limbs for that matter, and the D'Addario hand exerciser has really helped me to bring back the deterity that I need to continue with my guitars. It can be used in either hand, with the grey cushioned part against your palm and your fingers on the pressure pads in either orientation, a bit like ambidextrous trumpet keys. Exercising is something you can do while waiting for something else to happen, such as a kettle boiling or a WAV file to be rendered in your DAW! Just pick it up, spend a minute on each hand every day, and you should keep hand function going for a long time. It takes me all my strength to press some of the keys, but that;s not really what it's about so much as flexure of the joints and a building up of musculature that does so much to protect joints and even reverse the symptoms of arthritis (as happened several years ago with one of my knees - I managed to get back to walking miles from barely being able to walk at all). Used little and often, this is a great aid to hand function and deterity. This is one gadget that really needed an extra 6th star for the rating.

Hızlı kargo. Kaliteli. Yaylar biraz sert ama zamanla alışır sanırım.

Great product! I love this

Buen producto si quieres foratalecer tus dedos o recuperarte de lesiones tipicas de los guitarristas. Tienes unas ruedas para ajustar la tension en cada dedo y puedes quitar el protector de goma si quieres hacer callo en los dedos, aunque te recomiendo que los hagas a base de tocar. Producto con la calidad de Daddario que nunca defrauda

Pros: Compared this to the other types. I prefer this product due to the stability of each finger press. They sit in their own slot with their own adjustable spring. I feel more isolation of the finger being worked out, whereas the other types move around quite a bit with the shared spring. The adjustability makes this product more versatile. I think I could have spent 2-3x as much to cover the range this handles. Overall great comfort, well formed grip, fantastic value, and top tier performance for the product category. Cons: If you need a very light hand/finger exerciser you may want an extra light in the other design. If you hand very strong fingers/grip, you will probably be purchasing an extra strong version of the other type of product as this only adjusts to a certain amount of tension. Overall great product that covers what 3 or 4 individual hand exercisers would of the other brand's product, and great stability for focus in the exercise.
