Adjustable resistance
Turn the dial, then squeeze
The barrel on the side is printed with a scale, 60 kg at one end and 5 kg at the other. Twist the knurled knob and the spring tension moves along it, so one gripper covers a gentle warm up and a set you have to work for.
- Marked 5 kg at one end and 60 kg at the other
- Twists by hand, no tools and nothing to unscrew
- One gripper instead of a single fixed setting
How to use it
Four steps, start to finish
Nothing to charge and nothing to assemble. Turn the knob, take hold, squeeze, then let it open again.
1
Set the resistance
Hold the frame steady and turn the knurled knob on the end of the barrel. The setting moves along the printed scale between 5 kg and 60 kg. Start at the light end.
2
Take hold
Rest the long rear handle across the heel of your palm and curl your fingers round the shorter front handle. The ribbed rubber sleeves sit where your hand does.
3
Squeeze
Close the handles smoothly rather than snatching at them. The metal coil spring above the pivot is what you are working against.
4
Release, then repeat
Let the spring push the handles back open at the same speed you closed them. That is one repetition. Stop when your hand has had enough.
Close up
A closer look at the build
Four parts do all the work. Here they are, magnified straight out of the photograph.

The 5 kg to 60 kg scale
Printed straight onto the barrel, with the knurled adjuster knob and its chrome collar on the end.
2
Metal coil spring
Sits above the pivot, anchored to the frame at both ends, and takes the load every time your hand closes.
3
Ribbed rubber grips
On the standard model shown here, both handles wear a moulded rubber sleeve with deep ridges across the face.
4
Closed finger loop
The top of the frame is a full loop with a crescent groove moulded into the side of it.
Where it gets used
Keep it where you actually sit
Grip work does not need a gym slot or a change of clothes. Leave the gripper beside the chair you use in the evening and it gets picked up between other things, which is the only reason any piece of home equipment ever gets used.
- Works sitting down, one hand at a time
- 185 g for the standard model, 205 g with the rep counter
- No left-hand or right-hand version, swap it over whenever you like
Rep counter
Count your reps, or keep it simple
The standard grip trainer is the plain one. The rep counter model carries a small mechanical counter on the rear handle, with a two digit window that turns over as the handles close and a lever to send it back to zero. Everything else about the two is the same.
- Standard model weighs 185 g with no counter
- Rep counter model weighs 205 g
- The counter is mechanical, with a reset lever on the plate

Small change.
Real comfort.
Grip strength is built in small doses, a minute at the desk, a set while the kettle boils. Set the dial where it feels right today, and move it along the scale when it stops feeling like work.
