SKLZ Grip Strength Trainer - Black

Used this for some time at a low level of resistance. This morning the metal of the resistance spring sheared off.

Great product, and that you can adjust the resistance makes them really versatile. Using it as part of exercise routines allows you strengthen your grip plus it counteracts the issues in your fingers resulting from the constant use of computer keyboards for typing etc., the touch pads, and from working with a mouse.

Had it for a 8 month RECOMMEND

I received my grip strength trainer as a gift a little over a year ago (2022). I've used it almost every day since. Today it literally exploded as I was using it. Photo shows the two pieces I recovered. A 3rd piece shot off like a rocket and I've yet to find it. As a result, I would not recommend this item to anyone.

Just purchased today and have to return because its stuck on the highest setting and the adjustment knob won't turn.

My spring that connect the sliding thing to the other spring coils broke. I believe because I left it on 90 lbs which is its max for about three days and that weakened it and somewhere along those days it had ripped in half in the first spring. Then I could not lower it by hand to the minimum so I had to use a wrench. Then was I worked my way back up to 90 it broke like 3 minutes into using it. I really like this tool but dang it’s disappointing. Please work on somehow strengthening that first spring coil SKLZ. O

Been using mine over a yr Everyday did build forearms. And my grip is better But today 03/13/2023 it broke

I’ve purchased two of these and the first one has broke less than six months in.

I got this a little over 3 months and the spring has broke from the top, I did see several reviews with the same problem. Please upgrade to a better spring

I had owned and used this device for about a year when the spring broke. Springs are typically designed for many years of repetitive use so, it appears that the spring on this unit was defective. Others have posted the same issue so it seems there is a product design issue here. I've left a message for the manufacturer. Let's see if they stand by their product.

I bought my grip strength trainer in September 2019. Within about a week that I began using it, at a low resistance, the cap on the knob fell off. This was not particularly bothersome, because the function of the trainer was not impaired by its absence. In the last few weeks, the rubber on the grips began to erode substantially, leaving small black flecks on my hands after use, which interfered with my normal use (as a fidgeting implement at work). This afternoon, the spring snapped near the top while I was working with it. This happened safely, but with a failed spring it is now quite useless outside of as an oddly shaped paperweight.

I appreciate that this product adjustable from 20 lbs to 90 lbs. I am interested in purchasing another unit which is adjustable to 200 lbs. If available.
