 What CJ "chris911" said January 25, 2008
For everyone that's saying "it's for big hands." I have very big hands, and I still find this very uncomfortable. The rubber elastic resistance makes it sluggish and akward. You only work it on the squeeze. And I don't feel like my pinky is getting a workout, either. I liked the 5 dollar ones that I have better. At lest they have a foam cushion that's comfy. I'm returning this garbage.
 More problems than it should have January 19, 2008

For what seems a simple device, this has some problems that I did not anticipate when I ordered it. I rate it low because such a simple device has only a few features, so a few problems means it's overall problematic.
1) It has a very strong rubbery smell that gets on your hands
2) As you work it in your hand, the rubber resistance piece works itself off - imperceptibly at first so it just seems that the resistance has softened - and finally slips all the way off - after say 20 or 30 quick repetitions. You have to keep pushing it back in place just to use it.
It does have some advantages. Good, I think, for larger hands. Grip is cushioned, but still works against your skin enough that over time it may help develop calluses (great for me since I'm using this to strengthen for windsurfing, which is tough on hands).
Basic, and available in a lot of places...but do you want it? November 10, 2007

I'd like to reaffirm 3 points in the previous reviews. The first is that this is designed for people with slightly larger than average sized hands and fingers(particularly the thumb), so it is not the one size fit all solution.
The second is that you will definitely outgrow those weights relatively fast.
Lastly, when you exercise with this, only part of the motion strengthens your muscles. The second half does very little, so you need to do more reps to get the same results.
I personally like the wedge, but I went with this initially because I thought the adjustable weights were pretty cool. I purchased it on blind faith needless to say. Would not recommend this to anybody, there are better.
1/2 the workout October 8, 2007

the top is a rubber resistance block. the 1st rep utilizes the full range of this block and is ideal. Unfortunately, you only get that on the 1st rep; every rep after it does not fully reset--only 1/2 way, so you don't get the full range.
Good, not great, design September 16, 2007

major flaw is difficulty in changing between any of the three resistance levels provided. Directions make it look easy. It isn't. Otherwise, a well made product, with more comfortable grips than the usual spring-loaded hand grips.
