GD IRON GRIP Grip Strength Trainer Hand Gripper Forearm Strengthener Metal

The quality on this strength trainer is phenomenal. It’s mostly metal, the silicone grip is soft and helpful, the adjustable options are amazing, and the stand makes it almost an ornament or decoration in a room. The power this thing holds is insane too! It goes real high and I know I can train with this for a LONG time. I have no worries about it breaking in my hands like cheaper, louder grips. This one is smooth, quiet, and powerful. If you want a quality grip strength training too, this one has 5/5 quality for sure and is worth the money.

Hands down the best purchase I have made in a long time. This is very well made, durable, simple to use, and is outstanding. Zero noise like others I have used. This will get your hands and forearms pumped.

Very well made, good quality and materials One of the best grips that i ever purchased I recommend to choose the SILICONE version cause its very comfortable and dont slip on hands I was expecting to be a bit more difficulty (heavier) but looks like i got stronger hahaha For brazilian customers: I bought direct from AMAZON US and received in my home (Brazil), worth every money!

Just unboxed this and tried it out, so this is an initial review. The quality of this gripper is phenomenal. Definitely a well made piece. Puts competitors to shame, which is fairly hard to do given the simplicity of what hand grippers are. 1) it’s silent. I have several Captains of Crush grippers and they develop a squeak that can get annoying. 2) Decent range of difficulty. This replaces the Captains of Crush Guide through the 1.5. 3) Easily adjustable. I have other adjustable grippers with wider range, but they involve moving two heavy springs to random spots. Those spots aren’t indicated and usually require an internet search to determine what the resulting difficulty amounts to. But, they lack other adjustments.... 4) adjustable width. The gripper can be adjusted to hand size. My CoC grippers are just past the limit of comfort for my medium hands. This becomes an issue when progressing up a difficulty level. I find myself with a weird angle in my wrist. This leads to wrist pain that eventually starts to negatively affect my grip training and other exercises (think bicep curls). This is a HUGE improvement for me. 5) In-line handles. Has a better feel AND helps prevent the angling of the wrist I mentioned. 6) The handles themselves feel great. Plenty of texture for traction but the actual checkering isn’t sharp. New Captain of Crush grippers usually have a sharp texture that’s rough on hands until you break them in. I work in the medical field so keeping my hands relatively smooth is appreciated. Not to mention potentially compromising my skins integrity can put me at risk in said environment. This is a great gripper that replaces six $20 grippers if you use CoC grippers. The handles can also be adjusted down by removing set screws. This givens a little more leverage when working on going from one stage to the next. Definitely worth every penny at $50. If you’re big into grip training you owe it to yourself to try this gripper. Unless something changes this is replacing my beloved CoC grippers

The best grippers I've ever used, by far. Solid build, excellent ergonomics, straightforward adjustments. The price is high, but justified. I started with a pair of the 90s, but found I didn't need the extension or the extra 22lbs. of resistance (I should have listened to other reviewers who said as much). These offer much more resistance at their 84lbs setting than a far cheaper adjustable plastic gripper at its supposed 80lbs., so bear that in mind if you're testing cheaper ones at a box store to determine the max resistance you need like I did. I did not test either to determine the accuracy of their given settings' poundage. Just know that these grippers are harder than one other new cheaper pair. Other reviewers write that they've had similar experiences. Finally, the lowest setting (55lbs) matches the resistance on my old gripper in the picture that's been well used for about 10 years. After a brief test, I returned the 90s thru Motofitusa & Amazon easily and only had to pay return shipping (around $6 FL to NY). I then got a pair of the the 80 Lights on prime day for nearly $10 off each, saving roughly $53 total. On both the 90 and 80 Light, the knurling is the same and ideal: small crosshatch size matches the exercise (for example, dumbbell knurling is a larger and deeper crosshatch and barbells sometimes are even larger and deeper than the dumbbell knurling). I had a much better grip on the 80s than my old plastic grippers, and it did not hurt my hands or damage my skin. Lastly, there is a good jump in resistance levels, but I plan to further break the 6 levels of resistance into 18 levels using the 3 levels of grip size. If I can't do the largest grip size at the next highest resistance level, I'll simply close the grip size to the smallest setting, simultaneously increasing the leverage of my grip and reducing the range of motion in order to complete the exercise. As strength grows, I'll increase the grip size to the medium level and finally the largest level, and then repeat for the next resistance level--pretty straightforward progressive strength training. Thanks again to Motofitusa for a stellar product.

I have the 90. I would give a 4.5 if I could but I'm rounding down for things that are not perfect for me. The build quality is an easy 5 star. The metal grip has a sharp texture for excellent grip but it will grind away soft hands. I'm using a disposable glove on the 141/64 setting or above, otherwise my palm looks red and will likely bleed in time. The spring is being compressed, you do not pull the spring apart. As the spring collapses, the tension changes by a lot. I'm not clear where the 141lbs part of the squeeze is in the power band. My 12 dollar spring is smooth across the entire power band. So what you get with this is and easy squeeze to start and it progressively tightens up.If you are good with that then it's not an issue. I might prefer having 3 or 4 basic spring tensioned devices because the power is smooth from when you start to finish the squeeze. With the Iron 9 it feels like the 141 lb mark is a tiny part of the power band. I wanted to describe the issue as good as I could. Yes, I do like this device and will keep it but if I wanted to do it again, I would buy maybe 3 of the one trick pony spring devices that do one weight only. For the smooth power band.

I’ve used many hand grippers in the past, and every single one eventually broke, either the spring snapped or the grip wore out. So, I was looking for a reliable, branded option and found this one. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but I ordered it anyway, and honestly, I’m impressed. The build quality is solid, and it even comes with a holder, which is surprisingly useful. A few things to keep in mind before buying: This thing is heavy. I’m a healthy, average‑built person, and I still can’t get past the lowest setting yet (I’m sure I will eventually). The coarse aluminum grip is rough on the hands, so you might want silicone covers or sleeves. This is real exercise equipment, not a toy or a simple stress‑relief gadget. Overall, it’s a serious, well‑built gripper that feels like it will last forever !.

In the gym, for most of my training that involves pulling, I use lifting straps because otherwise the grip is the weakest link in terms of poundage used. It's not that I have a weak grip; it's just that the major muscles of the back (or glutes, quads, and hamstrings for deadlifts) are a heckuva lot larger and more powerful than muscles like the flexor digitorum profundis and flexor pollicis longus in the forearm that are involved in gripping. Because of that, I've ended up with a collection of various standalone grip exercise devices that I can use a few times a week while sitting in the recliner and watching Prime Video (shameless plug) in the evenings. Most of those options are either fairly flimsy or very poorly calibrated in terms of resistance. For example, I have one set of traditional coiled spring grips where the 200 lb and 250 lb versions are completely indistinguishable. The GD Iron Grip is a phenomenal design. At first, I thought it was going to be too difficult to change the resistance and/or the length of travel. A few minutes with the user manual and practicing the procedures a couple of times and both adjustments are an absolute breeze that can be done in about 5 seconds. And the unit is built like a tank. The dual, high-torsion springs will no doubt last decades, and the resistance settings feel like the real deal. The 141 lb setting feels about like the aforementioned 250-lb coiled spring grip, and I can't effectively use the 198 lb setting yet. Unlike a bunch of other home-use exercise equipment I've bought, this one is worth every penny.

EXcellent

Honnêtement, j'avais un peu peur de mettre autant d'argent dans ce genre de gadget, seulement il n'a en rien l'air d'un gadget on voit bien qu'il est solide et fait pour durer! Je ne regrette rien. (a part mon égo qui prend un coup a bloquer sur les 64kg ^^) Je le recommande les yeux fermé ! Il fait un peu mal aux mains mais avec les callosités, cela passera dans le temps.

Absolutely incredible purchase. The handles are incredibly sturdy, this thing was built to last. But it’s almost mandatory to get the tape with it as the abrasive metal is too course for most hands. Super easy to change weight for it as well!

Met dit apparaat doe je geen miskoop. Oer degelijk uitgevoerd en met genoeg weerstand voor de sterksten onder ons. Ik ben blij met dit apparaat en kan me niet voorstellen dat het geen jaren en jaren mee gaat.

Sin lugar a dudas es el mejor gripper del mercado. Es cierto que tiene un precio elevado, pero merece la pena, dado que en realidad al tener 6 posiciones de diferente resistencia es como tener 6 grippers diferentes. Sin duda es un gripper de gran calidad, se le ve muy robusto. Ademas, te permite realizar las repeticiones con distintas distancias de agarre, agarres más cerrados o más abiertos. Por ponerle algún pero, al menos en mi caso, a partir de la tercera posición de dificultad (112lb o 51Kg) que ya casi no podía cerrarla, al hacer entre 10 y 20 repeticiones me dolían un poco los dedos, pero se puede arreglar con un poco de esparadrapo o similar, como se puede ver en la imagen que adjunto. Con ese apaño ya se puede llegar al fallo sin dolor. Para la mejora de la fuerza de agarre es una gran inversión.
