Review: Simple and effective. - 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.
Review: Great product but has limitations. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this help me play bar chords???  Specifically my index finger  across all strings - can't seem to get all the strings pressed down to play a bar**
A: Yes, and no. This will help build up the strength needed to maintain a barre but that's nothing that constant practice won't help with. This excels for individual finger strength, use this to get your pinky leveled up.

**Q: Will this help with piano playing as well?**
A: That's partly what I bought it for.  Finger strength is always good, but I'm not convinced it's a major help (I suspect that 15 minutes a day of classic strenghtening exercises such Hannon would be more benifical).  The main problem with it is that it drives the family mental as I sit there squeezing it while we're watching a DVD :)

**Q: Is this useful for violin players?**
A: It will help with all stringed instruments. I appreciate the neck on a violin is thinner, however it is the same muscles used.

**Q: How does it compare with the gripmaster pro and sportgrip?**
A: Sorry cant compare but it is very effective for arthritic hands

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good training aid
*by A***R on 30 December 2025*

Will definitely help with individual finger strength and overall hand strength. I really like the added callus board although I feel it could be deeper to replicate playing on steel strings. However I guess that would leave your fingers sore and result in the inability to practice on an actual guitar. Overall it’s a good training aid and recommend it, especially for beginners.
