Cheap and Effective
The long and short of it is, they do the job they are intended for at a low price. All told I payed about £6 for them, which considering the use they are likely to get is good value for money. The tension is about right, and the padding on the grips ensures they are much more comfortable to use than my older pair, which had hard plastic handles. In fact apart from the handles they are exactly the same as my last pair - The spring mechanism is 100% identical. And I can do almost double the amount of repetitions with these. Proof of how much of a difference a few millimetres of foam makes to usability.

A couple of minor negative points that have already been stated by other reviewers - The ergonomics aren't great so they could be a bit more comfortable in use, and the handles discolour very easily. But in the scheme of things these aren't a massive problem, and overall, if you're looking for a cheap set of handgrips that gets the job done - You've found them.

A good product
Hi

I just recently bought these. They are a good pair of grips, and really work your wrist, hands and forearms. I tried the usual 3 set 12 rep thing with these and could not manage more than 7 reps in the second set, which certainly means these are not kid stuff.
The only reason I am giving 4 stars here(other than the fact that there is no 4.5 rating available to select, a shame) is because I thought it should have adjustible levels of resistance, and the grip bars though comfy are not ergonomic. Hence it takes some time to get used to them. They tend to slip away from their position some times.

Otherwise a great product for 5 quid.

Cheers
Birdy

Feel the burn
These are by far the best hand grips i have ever had. Alot stronger and harder than my previous pair. Great for arm stregnthening and toning. I would highly reccomend to anyone. M.J.S/2008

York Handgrips
I purchased these handgrips primarily to workout whilst watching TV, and they really are up to the job. These handgrips give a sound muscle toning workout to the forearms, without the need for going out of your way to use them. My one criticism is that a day after my first use of them, my palms felt tender and lightly bruised. This did not have a real impact and after about five days of using them, my hands started to adjust to using them, and now I have no trouble with them at all.I feel very happy with my purchase.
