GD IRON GRIP Grip Strength Trainer Hand Gripper Forearm Strengthener Metal

I bought this with the silicon grips. It feels very comfortable in my hand. It adjusts tension easily. It feels very solid and durable. It is very well made, with good strong materials, and functions smoothly. I have had other grip exercise devices that did not hold my interest due to discomfort, or limited capability. This is one I will be using for a long time, and as I get stronger it will continue to challenge me because I can keep raising the tension. I hesitated a lot before purchasing this because of the high price. After using it I have no regrets--it was money well spent. I bought this as a result of an arm injury. I came to the conclusion my mediocre grip strength was a possible contributor to my injury. Earlier in my recovery even the lowest setting on this device was too high for my injured hand. So that is something to consider. I used more remedial things like soft squeeze balls, etc. Even for my uninjured arm the lowest setting is one I like to use at times. I am an adult male in my late 60's and I work a lot with my hands. Even with daily physical work my grip strength was diminishing, and I was seeing the limiting effects of that in a variety of activities like tree pruning and construction. This device is helping to counteract that. Note: I use it both upright and upside down, as this varies angles at which my fingers are engaged.

The quality on this strength trainer is phenomenal. It’s mostly metal, the silicone grip is soft and helpful, the adjustable options are amazing, and the stand makes it almost an ornament or decoration in a room. The power this thing holds is insane too! It goes real high and I know I can train with this for a LONG time. I have no worries about it breaking in my hands like cheaper, louder grips. This one is smooth, quiet, and powerful. If you want a quality grip strength training too, this one has 5/5 quality for sure and is worth the money.

Very well made, good quality and materials One of the best grips that i ever purchased I recommend to choose the SILICONE version cause its very comfortable and dont slip on hands I was expecting to be a bit more difficulty (heavier) but looks like i got stronger hahaha For brazilian customers: I bought direct from AMAZON US and received in my home (Brazil), worth every money!

Just unboxed this and tried it out, so this is an initial review. The quality of this gripper is phenomenal. Definitely a well made piece. Puts competitors to shame, which is fairly hard to do given the simplicity of what hand grippers are. 1) it’s silent. I have several Captains of Crush grippers and they develop a squeak that can get annoying. 2) Decent range of difficulty. This replaces the Captains of Crush Guide through the 1.5. 3) Easily adjustable. I have other adjustable grippers with wider range, but they involve moving two heavy springs to random spots. Those spots aren’t indicated and usually require an internet search to determine what the resulting difficulty amounts to. But, they lack other adjustments.... 4) adjustable width. The gripper can be adjusted to hand size. My CoC grippers are just past the limit of comfort for my medium hands. This becomes an issue when progressing up a difficulty level. I find myself with a weird angle in my wrist. This leads to wrist pain that eventually starts to negatively affect my grip training and other exercises (think bicep curls). This is a HUGE improvement for me. 5) In-line handles. Has a better feel AND helps prevent the angling of the wrist I mentioned. 6) The handles themselves feel great. Plenty of texture for traction but the actual checkering isn’t sharp. New Captain of Crush grippers usually have a sharp texture that’s rough on hands until you break them in. I work in the medical field so keeping my hands relatively smooth is appreciated. Not to mention potentially compromising my skins integrity can put me at risk in said environment. This is a great gripper that replaces six $20 grippers if you use CoC grippers. The handles can also be adjusted down by removing set screws. This givens a little more leverage when working on going from one stage to the next. Definitely worth every penny at $50. If you’re big into grip training you owe it to yourself to try this gripper. Unless something changes this is replacing my beloved CoC grippers

I researched and read so many reviews of the different versions of the GD grip trainers and ended up ordering this one. I am certain I picked correctly. It is sturdy, smooth, and way to adjust. It has three width settings and many strength settings. The grips are grippy and comfortable. Feels like it will last forever. Absolutely worth the price.

I have the 90. I would give a 4.5 if I could but I'm rounding down for things that are not perfect for me. The build quality is an easy 5 star. The metal grip has a sharp texture for excellent grip but it will grind away soft hands. I'm using a disposable glove on the 141/64 setting or above, otherwise my palm looks red and will likely bleed in time. The spring is being compressed, you do not pull the spring apart. As the spring collapses, the tension changes by a lot. I'm not clear where the 141lbs part of the squeeze is in the power band. My 12 dollar spring is smooth across the entire power band. So what you get with this is and easy squeeze to start and it progressively tightens up.If you are good with that then it's not an issue. I might prefer having 3 or 4 basic spring tensioned devices because the power is smooth from when you start to finish the squeeze. With the Iron 9 it feels like the 141 lb mark is a tiny part of the power band. I wanted to describe the issue as good as I could. Yes, I do like this device and will keep it but if I wanted to do it again, I would buy maybe 3 of the one trick pony spring devices that do one weight only. For the smooth power band.

Update June 11 2020 - just a quick note to observe that after a year and a half of frequent use this has failed misera...,kidding! It’s FANTASTIC! It looks and performs like day 1. It has been a valuable part of my quarantine exercise and while I no longer remember what I paid for it seeing how thrilled i sounded after a week I can definitely say this was one of my most successful purchases. Assuming the build quality is same as what I got there is just no way you won’t have happy with it. I will update this review if this item doesn't live up to my expectations in the future but for the time being having owned it for about a week I can comment on a few things. The build quality is incredible. This is just a thing of beauty which anyone would be proud to display on their desk. It's an absolute conversation starter, I leave it set to the weakest setting on my desk and everyone who walks in tries it and comments on how beautiful it is. It's a much better value than the 80 model IMHO because of the inclusion of the grip extenders. I put them on as soon as I got it and don't plan on taking them off. Using the markings on the grips it's very easy to get in-between force values between the 55, 84,112,141,170,198 lb jumps. I basically use four grip positions... all the way down (pinky at end of extension) (easiest) ... hide one ring, hide three rings, hide all rings (hand all the way up to the top ... hardest) and it makes it REALLY nice to have weight progressions. my only disappointment is that I was working on a GD-PRO 70 gripper (which maxes out at 154lbs) and it doesn't look like the weight markings on the GD-90 and the markings on the PRO 70 are consistent. That's not a big deal and might be related to the 70 rather than the 90. I certainly much prefer the looks and hand feel of the 90

I’ve used many hand grippers in the past, and every single one eventually broke, either the spring snapped or the grip wore out. So, I was looking for a reliable, branded option and found this one. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but I ordered it anyway, and honestly, I’m impressed. The build quality is solid, and it even comes with a holder, which is surprisingly useful. A few things to keep in mind before buying: This thing is heavy. I’m a healthy, average‑built person, and I still can’t get past the lowest setting yet (I’m sure I will eventually). The coarse aluminum grip is rough on the hands, so you might want silicone covers or sleeves. This is real exercise equipment, not a toy or a simple stress‑relief gadget. Overall, it’s a serious, well‑built gripper that feels like it will last forever !.

EXcellent

Das Produkt kam in einer wirklich makellosen, dennoch leicht zu öffnenden Verpackung an. Die Leiferung war schnell. Von der Qualität des Produktes war ich sofort überzeugt, nachdem ich einige (in dem Fall: wörtliche :-) ) Handgriffe damit gemacht hatte - alles extrem robust, absolut geräuschlose Bewegung, kein Quietschen oder sonstiges. Auch die Einstellungen der Griffstärke über den oben angebrachten Riegel ist sehr leicht durchzuführen. Einige Rezensionen kritisieren die Rauhigkeit der Griffe - diese haben ein flaches, eingraviertes Fischgrätenmuster, natürlich aus Metall. Jetzt muss man sich aber mal ehrlich machen: Das Gerät ist dafür da, ganz spezifisch die GriffKRAFT der Hände zu trainieren - und nicht dazu, (wie ich :-) ) weiter "sanfte Büroarbeiterhände" zu haben oder irgendeine Art der kosmetischen Behandlung durchzuführen. Ja, das Gefühl ist anfangs minimal rauh und es kann beim Hochstellen der Schwierigkeit mal ganz leicht (leicht!) zwicken oder sich komisch anfühlen. Ganz ehrlich: Das ist zu erwarten. Viel schlimmer wäre es, wenn der Griff völlig glatt wäre und man (gerade am Anfang bzw. beim Hochstellen der Schwierigkeit) dauernd abrutschen oder falsch greifen (und somit falsche Bewegungen durchführen) würde. Das Gewicht des Gerätes ist relativ hoch, ich persönlich führe es seit einigen Tagen in der Hosenseitentasche oder im Rucksack mit, da man in Wartesituationen immer mal (geräuschlos) ein bisschen damit pressen kann. Insgesamt also ein Produkt, das wirklich alles erfüllt: Von Verpackung über Qualität bis hin zu den Produktbildern stimmt alles: 5 Sterne, solid Korean quality!

Honnêtement, j'avais un peu peur de mettre autant d'argent dans ce genre de gadget, seulement il n'a en rien l'air d'un gadget on voit bien qu'il est solide et fait pour durer! Je ne regrette rien. (a part mon égo qui prend un coup a bloquer sur les 64kg ^^) Je le recommande les yeux fermé ! Il fait un peu mal aux mains mais avec les callosités, cela passera dans le temps.

Absolutely incredible purchase. The handles are incredibly sturdy, this thing was built to last. But it’s almost mandatory to get the tape with it as the abrasive metal is too course for most hands. Super easy to change weight for it as well!

Met dit apparaat doe je geen miskoop. Oer degelijk uitgevoerd en met genoeg weerstand voor de sterksten onder ons. Ik ben blij met dit apparaat en kan me niet voorstellen dat het geen jaren en jaren mee gaat.
