D'Addario Varigrip Finger Strengthener with Fiddilink

Great Product It has helped me regain the strength and flexibility in my fretting hand for playing the Banjo but I believe it would help in many situations. It was recommended to me by someone who had quit playing banjo and guitar because of arthritis and after using this. product was able to recover enough to play again. I used it to recover after having Carpal Tunnel surgery, the improvement in fine motor skills have I believe to be significant due to the use of this product.

I used to play guitar for years but haven't picked up a guitar for years. Fingers got a little weak. So when I saw this I thought I'd give it a try. Now when I'm just watching TV I can exercise my left hand and it has got a lot stronger. I would recommend this.

This device actually seems to help with finger strength! I am old and have arthritis, but this seems to have Improved my dexterity and strength, so I can continue my guitar playing.

Pros: Compared this to the other types. I prefer this product due to the stability of each finger press. They sit in their own slot with their own adjustable spring. I feel more isolation of the finger being worked out, whereas the other types move around quite a bit with the shared spring. The adjustability makes this product more versatile. I think I could have spent 2-3x as much to cover the range this handles. Overall great comfort, well formed grip, fantastic value, and top tier performance for the product category. Cons: If you need a very light hand/finger exerciser you may want an extra light in the other design. If you hand very strong fingers/grip, you will probably be purchasing an extra strong version of the other type of product as this only adjusts to a certain amount of tension. Overall great product that covers what 3 or 4 individual hand exercisers would of the other brand's product, and great stability for focus in the exercise.

I'm not exactly sure what this does but I know only having a few hours a week (and if that) to learn the guitar means I'll have to exercise my fingers away from the instrument. My right hand grips the computer mouse daily so it's more worked up throughout the week; my left is living mostly a life of leisure so it's weaker. Thought this made sense as it's convenient, portable, and makes no noise. I can hold it while browsing the web mindlessly or while out for a walk outside. It's really neat that the grip part pulls away to reveal molded plastic "strings" to help build callouses. I've been pressing away for a little bit and realize how weak my pinky is. Haven't gotten to where I need that yet but will work it out for the future. A day isn't going to do anything: like lifting weights, give it some time to see results. Also should be good for the drums I keep putting off. Strengthening the back two fingers to use them to bounce the stick instead of excessive wrist motion. The fidget toy is strange, I need to see more videos on how to properly use it. If you want to try it, the combo bundle is only a dollar more for both and I think that's fair enough to give it a go. For the separate price, I would not buy the fidget alone.

Great tools for strengthening and dexterity of your hands whether a musician or not

Helpful for us as we learn to play guitar. These are sturdy, and have been good for practicing some finger strength. I'm sure it could be good for fidgeting and for gaining some muscle strength if you have a weak grip, or need to strengthen your fingers or wrists. Comfortable and natural to hold. Better price when bought together like this instead of separate.

I bought my first Varigrip over 10yrs ago and didnt like it then. I thought it was useless. However, I started playing guitar again and realized that I couldnt get through some technical shredding the way I could when I was younger. Im in my 30s and I can already feel my hands starting to crap out. My fingers felt sore and weak after playing. I Came across a medical store that sold all kinds of arthritis and hand exercising equipment and saw these 2 products. Decided to give it a try again, and to my surprise, it actually worked at strengthening my hand. First few days, I didnt think It was helping at all. The Varigrip plungers where uncomfortable and very stiff. I thought I thought I needed a lighter version, but I just kept fidgeting with it. After 2 weeks, my grip felt stronger and I currently have the resistance cranked all the way high on the Varigrip. I might have to buy the stronger heavier version. At first, i thought that I had just loosened up the tolerances from wearing it out, but it wasnt until I saw my younger brother (7 yrs younger) struggling with the varigrip, that I realized that it actually helped strengthen my grip. Most people that use the Varigrip will struggle with depressing the pinky and ring finger plunger. Those of us that use the grip frequently will have no problem with that. My advice, is to just stick with it past the first week at least. Its annoying to use at first, but now it actually feels good to squeeze the varigrip. I find it kind of soothing. Now for the Fiddilink review. This thing sucks. its stiff the first time you try flipping it, but now its so loose and floppy. I really do not see any benefit in flopping the fiddilink around. I see it more as a fidgeting toy. I prefer to pump the varigrip instead.

Os produtos são muito bons. Qualidade e a acabamento superiores.

This was a gift for a guitar player. It feels well made, the individual finger adjustments are great, silicone makes it comfortable to use and the fidget thingy is a nice bonus. I’m not sure the string callus part would really work but nice to have maybe more as a massage.

A great addition if finger strengthening is needed. Great for playing with while reading, tv watching, etc

Excelente calidad y muy útil para entrenan la digitacion y fortaleza en las manos

Good to keep the fingers in shape whilst on holidays and as an everyday tool.
