Amazing Core Fitness ACF Hand Grip Strengthener Strength Trainer Adjustable Resistance 22-88 Lbs Best Hand Exerciser Gripper or Ball Set

Most DIY’ers think their grip is fine. In addition to doing countless manual jobs, many exercise and lift weights. Why do they need more grip?That’s exactly what I thought. That was before my thumb joints, bruised and broken playing football 50 years ago, began hurting.That’s when it occurred to me that unless I’m pinching something with my thumb and forefinger, my thumbs don’t get much of a workout. Most of my grip comes from 4 fingers and the heel of my thumbs.Most people have a stronger grip in their dominate hand and the muscle in the heel of that hand is bigger.If you want a muscle to hurt, stop using it. I was injured in Vietnam and spent 3 months in a military hospital before returning to the states. The importance of physical therapy can NEVER be overrated.Keeping muscles toned and balanced is critical for staying well and strong as we age. Don’t take my word. Ask any Orthopedic surgeon or Professional Physical Therapist. Generally speaking, they will tell you that exercise is the most important thing we can do for our health and well being.After using this ACF grip for 30 days, my grip strength has quadrupled. I began with the lowest setting and have increased to the max doing 40 reps with each hand. And changing resistance is as simple as turning a knob clockwise as needed.Adding one drop of pure liquid silicone to the threaded shaft and hinges adds to the ease of adjustments and smooth, silent operation. Even so, I’m more concerned with making this device last. Amazon and hobby shops also sell several lubricants safe for plastics on metal.This is a great way to exercise especially if you are one of those who hate exercise. Try it while watching TV, especially sports or a heart-pounding movie on DVD and you’ll forget that you are exercising until your forearms starts cramping.Working thumb muscles is easy. Hold the device with 3 fingers of each hand on one handle and your thumbs on the other. Press with your thumbs and work them until they cramp.Trying this technique with one hand might be risky. From experience, if the device flies out of your hand while watching a DVD at your computer with headphones, it will either hit your nose, knock over your drink, scare the cat out of the room or ding your computer screen.Most people don’t realize what a luxury a strong grip is in their day to day activities until they begin to lose it. This device not only increases strength in grip but in the biceps, forearm muscles and shoulders. Twisting your arm in varying positions while exercising also facilitates muscle strength in a wide range of muscle groups.And yes, my thumb joint pain has vanished and shoulder pain has greatly diminished.STAY HIP WITH LESS LIP AND MORE GRIP.

These are reasonably comfortable to use, they don't hurt the fingers (although my hand is a little too large for them). Despite them being made of mostly plastic, they seem to have enough metal in the construction to make them sturdy. Two slight cons though:1. Even at their hardest setting, they are still quite easy to squeeze together. I was expecting slightly more resistance2. These are potentially miscalibrated. I bought two of these so I could exercise both hands at the same time, and at their maximum difficulty setting, the two units do not feel the same. At first I thought that maybe one hand was stronger than the other, but when I switched hands (and had someone else try them) they confirmed that the two units don't feel the same.Other than those two little quibbles, these are quite good and do the job well

I just purchased this two days ago and I have been using it several times per day since. I had read the negative reviews complaining about noise and/or breaking. My hand grip makes no noise whatsoever and looks fairly sturdy. I had purchased it originally because from spending so much time on my computer for work each day, I had developed a trigger finger in my pinky from overuse of the mouse. I found if I stretched my finger it made it better so when I came across this hand grip exerciser I thought it may help and it definitely has.I keep it next to my computer and use throughout the day. The knob in front is very easy to turn to adjust the pressure you'd like to use. The item is not big. At it's widest at bottom of handles it is 4" and the item is about 5.5" tall. I have probably average female hands to larger than average in terms of my finger length and I find this grip diameter suits me well. I think for men who may have larger hands this would be too small to get all fingers wrapped around the inside lever where your fingers go. It is lightweight.It's really helped me quite a bit with the trigger finger and helping that get healed by stretching my fingers and building up hand strength. I will write a follow up review if I the item breaks or has an issue.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great tool if you are looking for an exercise to increase your grip strength. I bought one to help my laser sailing performance, because after a few hours out on the water my forearms were getting fatigued from pulling rope. I’ve been using the ACF grip for a number of months now and I can defiantly feel a difference when I pull rope. I actually ended up buying a second one to keep in my work office.The comfortable ergonomic design made this one of the best hand grips I’ve ever used. The ACF grip is as sturdy as they come. It has a solid plastic base with molded foam handles for comfort and a metal resistance spring. You can adjust the resistance to customize your exercise by turning the adjustment knob.Hands down my favorite feature of the ACF grip is the curved handle. If you reverse the grip, the curved part of the handle fits perfectly against your thumb in the thenar eminence area.If you are just looking to increase your strength I would recommend getting the ACF Grip Strengthener. I did a full video review on YouTube, you can easily find the video by searching for the JustJerstin channel.
