GD GRIP PRO

This grip strengthener seems to be very well built. I have been using it for about a week with no issues. Here are a couple of comments based on other reviews, questions others had and some questions I had before buying it. Will this fit my hand? - I have smaller hands and I was concerned this would be difficult to use. Measuring from the bottom of your palm to the end of your middle finger, my "hand" is 6.5" in length. I have no issues gripping this. Sometimes, I find myself sliding the grip further down my fingers towards my palm. So, there is even a little extra room if your hand is smaller. It does get slightly bigger as you increase the resistance. It is about 0.25" wider (at the end of the handle) on it's hardest setting. How hard is this to grip / Can I use this or is it too hard to squeeze? - Yes, unless you classify yourself as very weak. I used to rock climb (not professionally or anything) but I haven't done that for years. I purchased this to use while I am watching TV, reading at work, etc to give me a little workout and improve my grip strength. I would say I have average strength (there are some pickle jars I can't open and reach for the rubber mat to improve grip). I am currently using this on the W setting, which is the lowest setting and I can complete about 30 reps with full travel of the grip (bottoming it out so the handles touch). Eventually, I expect to move up the scale, but I'm not looking to bulk up. Is this worth the price? - Bottom line, yes. It is pretty robustly built. It feels solid in your hand and doesn't feel cheap. I used to have one of the plastic 3 spring compression grippers and those feel cheap. The grip has a slotted pattern to it which keeps it lighter but retains strength/rigidity. If there's one weakness, it might be the strap. It is a standard cord strap that is found on most point and shoot cameras and could wear out over time. However, I don't really use it and may remove it entirely. This would be your preference. Does this make noise? - For the most part, no. I have held it up to my ear and I can hear a very, very faint click which occurs about 3/4 of the way through the travel when it is on the weakest setting. Turn up the resistance at all and the sound disappears. If I am holding this in my hand, in a comfortable, bent arm position, I can't hear it. It is only when it is about 8 inches from my ear that I can even perceive the sound. It is in no way obtrusive, distracting or a detraction from this product at all. Other grippers I have used creak and squeak during use. This does none of that. Bottom line, this is highly recommended and I would purchase it again. It is far better than the many of the other different styles of grippers I have used. As a bonus, the strap is reflective for when you're out running/walking in the dark and want to work on your grip strengthening.

Best grip exerciser I have ever owned or seen. I’ve owned the simple kind with the big spring at the top. They only have one tension and grip length setting. So that’s the first plus. This one has adjustable tension and grip length. Other grippers have a single pivot point so most of the hand tension is on the fingers at the bottom of the grip. You can actually lift your index finger during exercise because it’s not getting worked as much. This gripper has a scissor action that puts the tension more evenly across all fingers. That’s the second big plus. There are lots of other adjustable tension grippers available. But look at the hinge at their pivot point. They all have minimally small pins through the hinge. This looks like the weak point to me or their smaller springs. This gripper has much more robust hinges and springs. That would be the third big plus. I found the handle surface to be a little smooth feeling at first. After using it for a while, my hand strength improved and I have no problem with the grip. The stresses on my fingers made them a little sore and I was wishing for a softer grip, but after a while my fingers toughened and it’s also not a problem. Man up. The grip is fine. I got one without instructions in English. I played with it and got frustrated and almost sent it back. Don’t do that. It’s not that hard. Here is what you need to know. Tension is the black knob on the front. The silver wheel is the grip width. It’s not exactly straightforward because one affects the other somewhat. Start here. Unscrew the front knob until it’s not engaging the frame. Then screw it back to just touching the frame. This is minimum tension. It’s also how you should store it when you’re not using it. The frame will bow if full tension is left on it all the time. (See pics in other reviews.) Now adjust the grip width. Open the grip to full open to take the pressure off the silver wheel. Spin the silver wheel toward the front (towards tension knob) as far as it will go. Then putting your hand on the gripper, figure out how far out you want the grip to open. Hold it there and spin the wheel back to touch your grip length position. Now your tension is at minimum and your grip length is set to your hand. Give it some squeezes. If it is too hard, shorten the grip length. If that’s still too hard, this one is not for you. If it’s not enough tension, squeeze the gripper to take tension off the tension knob. Then spin the knob in the direction of the arrow. I went one revolution at a time until it was too high and then backed off until it was just right. There is a hole and an arrow on the tension knob so you can count revolutions. If you move the tension very much, it will change the grip length and you will have to readjust that with the silver wheel. Don’t forget to open the grip to take the pressure off the wheel to make it easier to move. That’s it. Here is a tip. Remember how many revolutions of the tension knob to get to your setting. Always unscrew the tension knob to just touching the frame for storage. Then when you’re ready to use it, just spin the tension knob to your setting. Hope this helps you to like your GD 70 gripper as much as I like mine.

Over the last year I purchased a few similar grip strength trainers and this is by far my favorite. it has a sturdy construction that feels nice in the hands, but the one feature that really sets it apart are the rubberized handles. The other ones like this that I have tried were just plastic or metal handles, and when I started using them for higher resistance, the grip would slip or it would get uncomfortable to use. The rubber grips add a little bit of cushioning and some grip so the trainer stays in the same spot in your hand your entire workout. This trainer has a button activated rep counter, which registers each rep when you fully compress the handle. Nothing earth shattering, but it works well. The trainer is also easily adjustable using a large metal dial and a smaller knob at the front to adjust spring tension and handle travel. My only wish for this would be more detailed resistance markings on the trainer. To determine the amount of resistance you need to count the number of dial and knob turns and note the position of the handle and compare it to a chart on the package to get a rough approximation of the amount of resistance you are dealing with. Overall this is a great option for a grip trainer. The spring give a consistent resistance throughout the pull, it is comfortable in your hands, and easy to adjust.

One of the best purchases I’ve made for continuous improvement. Has seriously helped me improve my grip strength which has lead to gains on OHP, dumbbell press, farmer carries and shrugs. If you’re an office worker who wants to increase your ability to control heavier weight for longer this is what you need.

Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich verschiedene Handgriff-Stärker getestet – einige aus billigem Plastik, andere mit vernünftigem Plastik und angenehmer Beschichtung – aber sie hatten alle dasselbe Manko: Die Metalfeder brach irgendwann, meist innerhalb von ein paar Monaten (bei mir waren es 3-4 Monate). Frustriert von diesen Ergebnissen suchte ich nach etwas anderem und stieß auf den GD PRO-70 Handgriff-Stärker. Was mir auffiel, war sein Design; anstelle der typischen Metalfeder verfügt er über einen anderen Mechanismus, der zuverlässiger zu sein schien. Also entschied ich mich, es auszuprobieren. • Dieser Handgriff-Stärker zeichnet sich durch seine robuste Bauweise aus und vermittelt sofort ein Gefühl von Haltbarkeit. Der Federmechanismus ist durchdacht gestaltet und bietet gleichmäßigen Widerstand ohne die üblichen Abnutzungsprobleme – ganz anders als bei den vorherigen Modellen. • Mit einstellbarem Widerstand von 25 bis 70 kg (55~154 lbs) ist dieser Handgriff-Stärker für verschiedene Stärkenlevels geeignet. Ich schätze es, den Widerstand leicht anpassen zu können, während meine Griffkraft sich verbessert, was mein Training effektiver und individueller gemacht hat. 👉 Gekauft am 19. Oktober 2022 – hat es sich durchweg gut bewährt, ohne Probleme wie gebrochene Federn, Risse im Plastik oder andere Mängel. ✅ Vorteile: 🟢 Robuste und langlebige Bauweise 🟢 Zuverlässiger Federmechanismus 🟢 Einfach einstellbarer Widerstand ❌ Nachteile: 🔴 Nichts, was mir einfällt Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass der GD PRO-70 durchweg solide Leistung bietet. Sein Design und seine Bauweise sorgen für eine problemfreie Nutzung, wobei die effektive Widerstandseinstellung das Krafttraining verbessert.
