Just bought one of these:

Probably a waste of money but will see if it helps improve my finger strength. I used to use one of the metal hand squeezers when I was more into sailing, rock climbing etc however they always squeaked far too much.

 

The GripMaster is quiet, I'm using it while I'm on voice conferences in the office.

Captains of Crush are for those who are really serious

It is also awesome for strengthening your fingers for guitar, particularly your pinky.

They are good, being you can focus on a particular finger if you like and not the whole hand.

 

However I have to say I am disappointed that this thread didn;t take a turn for the worse by now..

I had bought one of these types of things to restrengthen my hand after breaking my wrist a couple years back. Mine was the familiar hinged type, but instead of the fixed spring tension, it had a rubber ball inbtween the two handles that was compressed when you squeeze. The ball was also adjustable in where it was situated so if you threaded it towards the top, it was easier and threading it downward made it more difficult. Works a little better than buying all those in different preset strengths and helps progress when you need it.

However I have to say I am disappointed that this thread didn;t take a turn for the worse by now..
