Digi-Flex-10-0741 Cando Hand and Finger Exercise System Red, 3 lbs Resistance

This is one of the three exercisers in the set I bought. The set is 3 different strengths. 1.5 lbs, 3 lbs, and 5 lbs. I bought these for my son to strengthen is fingers for playing the violin. I already had a 9 lb model, which was much to strong for him. The 1.5 lb and 3 lb are useless for us. He can easily completely compress them with very little effort. I'd say if you are using them for rehab, or have very weak hand strength they would be good. My son is 11 and the 5 lb model was the best as a starting point. I ended up getting the 5 lb and 7lb in addition to the 9 lb I already had. Obviously it's going to be different for each person, but I thought the lower models were just too easy to make them useful. The quality of the product is good, it also comes with an instruction sheet that shows different ways to use it depending on what you want to accomplish.

Good price, good product, serves its purpose for strengthing, lightweight, perfect fit, comfortable, can be used in n either hand, works well for arthritic hands.

Not sure what is meant by 'softness'. The unit grips with no padding supplied. The level of resistance on this particular unit is 3 pounds. Not sure less resistance is available; in case that's what you meant by 'softness'. Hope that addresses the question.

I purchased the Red 3 lb. resistance Digiflex first and used it for a couple of months. Today I received my Green 5 lb. Digiflex and tested it. I found it to be a good step up. I didn't notice much change in resistance; however it feels like enough of a change to provide a challenge which is what is appropriate now. It's a good addition to whatever else you may be using for rehabiiitation such as hand putty and compression bandages.

I started using these hand exercisers about 3 weeks ago hoping to reduce pain in my wrist due to tendinitis/pre-carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been using this and other finger exercisers every other day and it has made a noticeable improvement. I have less constant aching in my wrist, which is great because I've been dealing with this problem for over 10 years! My only complaint with this product is that the shafts for the finger buttons start to get less smooth after I'd used it for less than a month. If the pressure on the buttons is not completely straight down, then it would seem to meet resistance going in, making it less smooth to push down, especially on the buttons on the ends. I tried putting some powder graphite lubricant on the shafts and so far it seems to have fixed the problem.

I love this product because it's exactly what I use during my physical therapy appointments. The strength is appropriate, and the mechanics of the product are sturdy and hold up to my increasing ability to use the muscles it is designed to strengthen.

Great product highly recommend easy to use does not stress your hand

Recommended by my physical therapist. I love that it’s available in different strengths. I really love that it included suggested exercises. You can exercise all fingers at once, or one at a time.

Good for strengthening your hands
