Marcy Wrist and Forearm Developer/Strengthener Home Gym Gear - Wedge Multi-coloured, 9x4x1"

Works perfect on my 30min drive to work, just do a lot of reps. This is the 2nd one for me, had this year's ago, but lost in a move. Don't listen to people saying it's not enough tension, just do more reps and sets, you will feel it. Helps those 3's also.

This thing is pretty phenomenal for the office. I don't know if I would keep this in a personal gym as another piece of equipment for a workout session, but for working out in what would otherwise be unused time in a work day, this kicks the proverbial butt. I saw a coworker who had one, used his, and ordered this that first night.Be aware that it is not a brute strength device, but rather an endurance focused piece. I have a job which requires me to be on the phone and when I'm not typing, I can pick this up and use it for a minute or two and definitely feel the burn. I have very strong wrists and large forums and this is great when used correctly. Good for distraction or to get the blood flowing a bit when sitting at a desk all day.Pros:- Workout your forearms in the office without disturbing anyone (other than the people who smile and wave back to your bobbing hand)- Adjustable settings make this useful to most people. I crank it all the way up and go until I can't anymore.- Can be flipped for extensions as well as curls- *Can* be used for finger(s) isolation. This is admittedly a bit tricky, but worth the experimentationCons:- Wrist size. I have rather large wrists (6' 260#) and the wrist grip is snug. I work with a lot of people who were collegiate athletes, now 1-4 years out of school, and they have no issues. The majority of people won't.- Hand grip loosens regularly during use - minor issue - just keep tightening the screws after use

This isn’t bad for the price. It’s fairly comfortable and it is easy to use; however, like another reviewer stated it does not adjust enough to be much of a challenge for many men. This is absolutely great for women, for older men and women, and for young teenagers until they become a bit too strong for it.This is also EXCELLENT for people who are rehabbing an injury to the forearm, wrist, and/or hand. Even though it doesn’t have the tension required for young to middle-aged men (I’m 46 myself) it DOES work and you can feel a good burn when you do a lot of reps. Set the tension to the tightest setting and do about thirty reps and you will feel your forearms burning.You can use this while you’re watching a movie or reading a book or doing anything that doesn’t require two hands (keep your mind outta the gutter!) and while the tension isn’t fantastic for most men, and certainly a few women, it can be set high enough to give your fingers a good workout. I’m probably going to order a second one so I can just work both forearms, wrists, and fingers at the same time while watching a movie. And if you put on a movie and use this the entire time of the film you WILL feel it working.This will not be good for people who are either very obese (sorry, but at least I’m saving you $25 and saving you from having to return it) or ridiculously muscular forearms because there’s not much room in there. If you take a look at the pictures I took for this review you’ll see that there’s not much wiggle-room in there. I’m a 6’ tall man (or at least I was; now I’m more like a 5’11 cripple with terrible posture) and I weigh about 210lbs with about the average amount of muscle a man my age who is only a casual lifter would have.Like I said earlier it’s not shabby and I actually kinda like it; I just wish that it had two or three times more tension.

Great product

This is a great device for exercising your wrist and forearm. To the naysayers who say "you won't use it" I say that I use mine nearly every day. I make it a part of my exercise routine which also includes a bowflex, free weights, an elliptical and a Versaclimber. I have had one of these units for the past at least 8 years. The last one I bought I bought in 2014 - it lasted a little over 3 years before the wire cable started to fray. I am very happy with these units and hope that this one lasts as long as the last one. It is true that it will last a lot longer if you don't use it , but I will not complain for 3 years of service from a device that costs so little. I find the device to be comfortable to use , easily adjustable and well made.

It does a great job with muscle building noticed big difference in the couple weeks had it. BUT IT BROKE!!! It would be a 5 star if this didn't happen. The nut that adjust the tension snapped in half. And the bottom pad came out. I was going to yank the pad out any how. Because it not made for people who already have forearms of a man.

It's good. Using a flat bar hurts my wrists. With this device I can adjust the grip to be at an angle and hold my arm in a comfortable position while using it.

Received the product in a package that was opened previously (perhaps used by someone else) and was stored up in someone's attic for the past five years. Expectations were deemed low at this point...Product usage in concept is general at best and basic to the point. Yay. But once you overcome the resistance of the current setting, to adjust to the next level up, that little knob just spins in place and does NOT increase the resistance to allow you get gains.I had so much hope (no I didn't) in this product, but was disappointed in the product presentation [packaging] followed by second-hand usage that this product will just be donated to a stroke patient rehabilitation center for those able-bodied individuals that can get "some" utility out of it.RECOMMENDATION: Don't waste you $$$ on this product; just buy some dumbbells and do wrist curls.
