This gripper set gives you five hand grippers in rising strengths, from 45kg up to 136kg, so you can start on the lightest and move up as your grip improves. It suits climbers, lifters and people rebuilding hand strength after time off. Because the set covers a wide range, two people at different levels can share it.
The five strengths
| Colour | Strength |
|---|---|
| Silver | 45kg (100lb) |
| Blue | 68kg (150lb) |
| Black | 90kg (200lb) |
| Red | 113kg (250lb) |
| Silver | 136kg (300lb) |
Build
The handles are aluminium and the spring is steel. The grip section on each handle is roughened, so it still holds when your hands are sweaty. Handle diameter is 1.8cm.
Working through the set
Start on a gripper you can close for sets of 8 to 10 reps with control. Once that feels easy for a few sessions in a row, move up one strength and drop the reps. Train both hands, and rest a day or two between hard sessions, since forearms tire quickly. If you are using the set during rehab, start on the lightest gripper and follow your physio’s programme.
Our guide to grip strength exercises has more ideas for training and testing your grip, and you can measure progress with the Grip Strength Tester. Lighter grip tools for rehab are in Hand Therapy Equipment, and more trainers are in Grip Strengtheners.

Good quality hand grips no issues with them the handles are grippy not comfortable but not going to easily slip out your hand so I don’t mind if it may cause some calluses. A good deal and shall be good in the long run.
