Sidewinder Revolution - Wrist, Forearm, Grip Strengthener #1, Adjustable Resistance

Great bit of kit. Similar sort of motion as can be done using a wrist roller, but loads more convenient and variations, and more importantly for me available to get the exercises done. I have it always on my desk and can do some reps as and when I feel like it. Certainly appears very robust and solid, and though early days, seems to alleviate forearm pains I've been having when doing other exercises (pull ups most notably). The resistance isn't spring loaded at all - all done by friction. As such, the resistance works in both directions at the same time, thus saving time!

Excellent

I really enjoy using this product as it fun and somehow comforting to use. I think it's helped improve my wrist and forearm strength. My sidewinder Revolution is extremely well built and I think it will last many years. I'm hopeful to some day hand it down to my grandson.

Fabulous product made really well and I am getting stronger using this. Only downside was the price.

I used the Sidewinder Pro Xtreme for a year, and then bought the Sidewinder Revolution 1. After using the Revolution 1 for 3 months, I have to say it is my favorite Sidewinder. I have zero blistering of my hands, and I find it to be very comfortable. The trick to comfort is how you use it. You want the tension to distribute more evenly throughout your hand. I like holding it in the vertical position while extending away and then contracting back. The trick to making the pressure distribute evenly (for the vertical position) is to hold the Revolution up at the height of your head while exenting away and contracting back. I can do 500 reps a day with zero blistering and no discomfort of any kind.If you experiment, you can find other ways to use it that also distribute the pressure evenly. The traditional wrist roller position also distributes the pressure more evenly.For me, the smaller diameter (as opposed to the pro) seems to make my forearms contract a little harder. I’m a male with average size hands.Since the Revolution doesn’t have any rubber, it doesn’t make my hands black. Also the Revolution 1 doesn’t slip even with sweaty hands.The Sidewinder is the only exercise I have ever performed that thickened my hands, and I personally think the Revolution 1 the best model.Another convient advantage is the compact size of the Revolution, easy to travel with and throw in your workout bag.As others have mentioned, the construction is incredible, made to last a lifetime.

From reading the description of the Sidewinder Revolution wrist and forearm strengthener, I could visualize what it would probably feel like to exercise with it. Using it showed I was correct. You get resistance in both directions, so you exercise both sides of your forearms simultaneously. I had broken my wrist ice skating last year and hoped this device could help me to strengthen my wrist and forearms. It works perfectly. You can get a complete range of movement in both directions and the resistance is infinitely adjustable. Not only have the muscles in my forearms gotten stronger in a few weeks, the pain from my wrist injury is going away at the same time. This device is also extremely well built and will probably last a lifetime. One of the best purchases I have made.

Works exactly as advertised, great quality metal construction. No rubber handles to tear/degrade (do not own the advanced models with non-metal handles). Great knurled design makes for true man-grip handling like dumbbells. Got my forearms burning as I'm typing this review, and the adjustment is at approximately 50% full span of resistance meaning this will not be maxed out for many moons to come. Refreshing change from the forearm clamps, which are very linear in motion and boring. This device is non-linear and great for wrist/forearm strengthening. Using a barbell is ideally great, but the momentum of the bar spin cheats from the exercise, where this device has no momentum and forces you to constantly work to keep the rotation going. Yeah, you can do this with a piece of wood, string, and weights, but why bother with the BS workarounds. This device is a great addition to my toolbox of pain and yields great gains. A little pricey, but worth every penny when you may have to choke out a pit bull to save your life one day...a potential lifesaving device!
