Classic Hand Gripper with Anti-Slip Foam Handles

A classic hand gripper with a steel coil spring and soft red foam handles, for anyone who wants stronger hands, fingers and forearms without needing a gym. Squeeze, hold, release: it’s the simplest grip trainer there is, and you can use it almost anywhere.

The spring gives the same resistance on every rep, so you always know what you’re working against. The foam sleeves cushion your palm and fingers and keep their hold when your hands get sweaty, which matters in a Karachi or Lahore summer. It’s small enough to live in a pocket, a school bag or the drawer of your desk.

Why you’ll like it

• Steady steel springA coiled steel spring gives a firm, even squeeze from the first rep to the last.
• Anti-slip foam handlesSoft foam is kind to your palms and doesn’t slide around in a sweaty hand.
• Nothing to set upNo knob, no counter and no batteries. Pick it up and start squeezing.
• Goes everywhereUse it at your desk, in front of the TV, between classes or between sets at the gym.

How to use it

1. 1Hold one handle across your palm and wrap your fingers around the other.
2. 2Squeeze slowly until the handles meet, or as far as you can.
3. 3Hold for a second, then open your hand with control.
4. 4Do 10–15 squeezes, switch hands, and rest for a minute between sets.

Start with two or three sets for each hand, three or four days a week, and add a few squeezes as it gets easier. Train both hands the same amount so one doesn’t get ahead of the other.

Who it’s for

Gym-goers adding grip work, cricketers and badminton players working on their hold, students and office workers who spend long hours typing, and anyone trying grip training for the first time. This is a fixed-strength hand gripper. If you want to make it harder as you get stronger, an adjustable hand gripper is the better choice.

Tip: keep your wrist straight while you squeeze. A bent wrist takes work away from your fingers and forearm.
