grip strengthener

Squeeze for strength

A grip strengthener is a device designed to build hand and forearm strength through repeated squeezing.

Most are spring-loaded with two handles that resist being pressed together: I keep a grip strengthener at my desk.

Athletes, climbers, and musicians use them, as do people recovering from hand injuries.
