Sidewinder Grip Twister — Wrist, Finger, Fat Grip Exerciser, Adjustable Resistance

The Department of Veteran Affairs Should Issue These For Veterans With Carpal Tunnel, Arthritis, Hand Weakness etc...This is a great piece of equipment. Utilizing this, the sidewinder grip bar, grip rings, finger stretchers, and eagle catcher, in a few short weeks was able to significantly increase my grip strength from around 80-lbs to over 100-lbs in both hands and significantly reduce pain in both my hands/ fingers. The Department of Veteran Affairs should really look at issuing these items to veterans with carpal tunnel, arthritis and hand weakness, etc....Furthermore, for those Engineer’s out there, or those unfamiliar with this type of 2nd-order "meaning", this is a great example of a 5th-Wheel, in action.......(see Merriam-Webster Dictionary application for IPhone for further "clarity" )Furthermore, I own this along with the "Side-winder2" "Pro" – Wrist, Forearm, Grip Strengthener #2, Adjustable Resistance - and it is sort of "like" they fit together to form some "type" of special device- perhaps???? I place them end to end an as if almost by "magnetism" or "static" they stuck together?!?! Also, if roll them around one on top the other it is like a "Yoga" bowl for "sound/ noise"!!! Finally, they are in fact heavy enough, if carried in a bag to be utilized as weapons, such as a "steel" "collapsible" “baton”...or a "lock" in a sock! Whether this was intended or not is "well" "beyond" me! However, it begs a question, as in "SF/ SPEC" Ops community and even Krav Maga- and other forms of "self-defense" everything can be viewed as a weapon, from a rolled up "news" paper to a simple "kat's" toy, such as a “fish” on a “string-“aka” a “whip”!!!!It is a “puzzle…” just like many newspaper “cross-word” puzzles are and vary in “difficuilty”…..So, if that is the case, then why are other items banned by local and Federal government...... "For other's well above me to ponder, such as our “elected” officials, etc....as simply cannot ban everything... or, simply ‘Can" they????????."

heavy duty. husband NEEDED this but doesnt use it often. i think it was super expensive for what it actually does lol but it works

I use this device along with other gripping devices and this particular one is perfect for concentrating on hand and finger strength as well as forearms.My gripping strength has improved significantly since using it.

Sidewinder Grip Twister: i had tennis elbow. At least 3 muscles were involved. Although i used 6 months rest and handbell forearm exercises, palm down , palm up and vertical positions, I still had severe pain when i opened a jar or shook hands. The forearm and each finger has it's own muscles to be strengthened; i learned by the pain I felt. So, i bought this and used it for 3 sets of 12 once per week and gripped a hand gripper for 2 sets of 8 once per week. This may seem light, but remember I was in excrutiating pain. Now all pain is gone after one month! One month wont make you strong, but the result was no pain! I started doing a rope pull today. Be sure you only exercise once per 7 or 8 days. It takes this time to recover your tendons and muscles. You need the recovery time otherwise you will continue in pain. Also rub the tendon firmly to unclog your tendon from its tendancy to retain old cells which hold up blood flow and the clearing function.This thing is machined like a Ferrari engine. It strengthens muscles that barbells dont hit. When I die, they are going to wonder what this thing is when my estate is sold off. I recommend it.If you are over 50 years, you are losing your grip strength daily. This roller plus other devices will make you stronger than you were when you were 18!

Awesome, quality construction. Love the fact I can keep in my glove box and get a quick workout while sitting at a red light!

The sidewinder products from Amazon cost more than the one on the Sportgrip website and the sidewinder grip twister was chipped. The other package had a hole in it from Amazon. The sidewinder works great.

I am really impressed. This is built like a tank. I truly believe this will last a lifetime and so far I can't imagine it breaking for any reason short of dropping out a moving vehicle on the freeway?I appreciate the ability to control the amount of difficulty easily so I can do different types of finger and grip work. This is literally the perfect pickle jar opening trainer. I also own the "Sidewinder T6" by the same manufacturer and they are both top notch build quality. I highly recommend getting any of their products if you are serious about making grip and forearm training a priority.

Excellent piece of equipment for the wrist, fingers!! Well made, thank you.
