Finger and Hand Extensor Exerciser Trainer with Resistance Band Stretcher Strengthener

I was hit by a car as I walked across the street back in May. Physical therapy has been good, but I was looking for something to help me as I walked throughout the day or sitting down, watching a movie. I ordered this. When it arrived, I opened it and quickly fell in love with it. The wrist band itself is nice, soft and doesn't agitate my incision area on my wrist. The bands are not super strong, but neither are rubber bands. Overall, the wrist piece is very well made and easy to assemble the bands on it. It is lightweight yet works wonderfully. I do a few repetitions as directed by my physical therapist - I substitute this for the actual rubber bands she recommended. I will be showing this produce to her and recommending it to her as well. I was a bit leery about the price when I ordered it, but in the end, I am very satisfied.

This helped me heal tendonitis in my palm and it really is great for stretching and flexing and doing eccentric (reverse) exercises. The downside is that two of the bands broke with normal use within 4 weeks. They do give you a couple of spares. Other than that it looks and feels nice. If you buy this, just expect a temporary product that might last for a few months and many need to be replaced.

Why is it women seem to lose hand strength after we leave our early 20s, and it just keeps going downhill from there? Don’t tell me I’m the only one to notice this. As a kid I thought I was so awesome always opening the jars and bottles my mom couldn’t. ‘*Pshhh* you don’t need Dad!’ And she even worked with her hands as a hair stylist for a while, so she was keeping them exercised.I never thought I’d run into those same issues. But apparently 20 years of full time work using mostly mouse & keyboard took its toll. Shocker.Combine that with overuse injuries from crazy projects around the house (think full body weight on hands and knees scrubbing and using a palm sander to refinish Saltillo Floor tiles many hours a day over 4 weeks), and I was messed up.My wrist was aching, pinky tingling, barely able to swivel my hand or hold onto the edge of a paper plate with food. This was off and on for a couple of months, slowly recovering & reinjuring. Until I was testing mobility one day and made a fist, then fully extended and splayed all fingers and thumbs straight out. It felt amazing! I did it again a few times, then jumped on Amazon to find a hand exerciser!This thing is great. It’s not meant to really build super hand strength, use the squeezy type models for that. But this exerciser is great at rehabilitating weak muscles on the outside of the hand and the wrist. And because of the way it’s designed, it really helps strengthen the stabilizer muscles as well.I haven’t even been consistent with it, but my wrist hasn’t relapsed, and is stronger and feels less fragile than it has in a long time.Love this little exerciser, I’m just not looking forward to replacing the little rubber bands as they start to break down. I’m thinking for the cost of the simple device’s materials, the supplier could easily toss in a second set of bands.

I am sure many can relate on how difficult it is to find a decently built product that helps with wrist extension. This product does exactly as it is advertised. The bands that fit over each finger are built with integrity and even if they do break, the company actually gives you 3 Extra finger bands (8 in total) within the box itself. I also love the fact that this product can be used for eccentric and concentric contractions. Overall the price of the product (Roughly $30 USD) is a little on the higher end of this type of product; but, it is built to last rather then some of the cheaper wrist extenders that sadly break after a few attempts at using it. Also the product is very easy to use even though the instructions do come in a foreign language (Instructions not in English)

Really interesting, useful device. Recently diagnosed with RA, so keeping my hands in tip top shape has become a life or death situation. There are all kinds of solutions for strengthening grip, but nothing for fully extending fingers. After 25+ years computer work/editing videos, I have moused the ever loving hell out of my hand. Absolutely amazing career, but very taxing on the body, particularly hands, neck and shoulders. ANYTHING you can do to keep moving, and keep in shape is essential to avoiding an inevitable diagnosis like RA, or something similar. Devices like this are essential for preventing injuries and also therapy after injury or arthritis diagnosis.Can’t comment on the quality of the rubber bands yet, because I just received mine. But, I only used it once, and can report that it works as advertised. Thanks!!!

The manual was vague went to web sight and got a little more information,no instruction to get replacement bands.

AS advertised

This is a great exerciser for the hands. I have the ones where you press down on, and my dr. told me to put my hand in rice and push out with my fingers. Not much resistance there, but these did the trick. I was learning to play a uke and when I started using these. I immediately had an easier time moving my fingers around the fretboard.
