Not for beginners... Jul 16, 2007
By C. S. Patterson
"~*"
I began my search for some good grip strengthening equipment a few months ago...It was a pathetic sight, watching me fight & fuss with various jars & bottles, who's lids would just NOT come off for me!
First, I purchased the blue & red Gripmaster Hand Grips from Amazon...they were amazing, but you progress through them so quickly, that they become unchallenging after a couple weeks. So, Instead of spending another $12 on the black Gripmaster, I purchased these Valeo Grips.
I'm not thrilled. To strengthen your hands and forearms, it is recommended that you go for more repetitions, rather than high resistance. It is impossible for me to do more than 3 sets of 15-20 squeezes with these because the resistance is so tough. The handles themselves are not conducive to more reps. Once your hands become damp, they slide a bit, making it harder to squeeze and keep correct form.
For someone more advanced, I'm sure these will be fine for you, but for those just starting on a strengthening routine, I'd avoid these for now.

 GOOD PRODUCT FOR GRIP STRENGTH FOR THE PRICE Nov 08, 2008
By HARBINGER
I HAVE USED VALEO HAND GRIPS IN THE PAST AND FOUND THEM TO BE GOOD QUALITY AT AN INEXPENSIVE PRICE. YES, THEY WEAR OUT IF USED FIVE OR SIX TIMES A WEEK OVER A YEAR OR SO, BUT THEY DELIVER. MY SON, WHO IS A BLACK BELT IN HAPKIDO, AND I BOTH USE THESE AND FIND THAT THEY ARE GOOD FOR BOTH OF US IN DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING GRIP STRENGTH. THEY ARE AT ABOUT A MEDIUM LEVEL. NOT TOO EASY AND NOT TOO HARD. JUST ABOUT RIGHT FOR A PERSON WITH AN AVERAGE OR A LITTLE ABOVE GRIP STRENGTH TO STAY IN FORM OR DEVELOP FURTHER, DEPENDING UPON HOW MANY REPITITIONS YOU WANT TO DO.

 You get what you pay for Feb 11, 2007
By Dan's NWO
These things are awkward to handle and simply don't work well. Shell out the extra five bucks for some foam grips.

 VERY uncomfortable grip Apr 05, 2010
By K. Hayward
The hard plastic with the finger scallops just does not feel natural in my hands. Go for foam or rubber grips without finger grooves and you'll be much happier. I don't mind working out but these are just a pain in the ass.
Save your money, these are absurd May 01, 2012

Absolute garbage. In fact I do not believe anyone can use these effectively. The design is flawed, they hurt the hand. I have been using grip exercisers for 35 yrs and have worn out many after years of use. You will never wear out these Valeros because they cannot be used!! The grip design is so bad it is painful to use. I returned mine. Paid return postage and a RESTOCKING fee. Look elsewhere.
