Grip Strength Tester, Hand Grip Dynamometer with Trainer | Digital Strength Gauge 265 Lbs/120 Kgs for Testing at Sports, Home & School, Including Exercisers for Hand & Forearm Training

I was expecting this thing to be weak, creaking plastic. It is not. I like getting surprised by higher quality with Amazon, occasionally. It has a smooth rubberized plastic surface, I think is great. I suspect that would absorb skin oils and get problems eventually, but I think that would take years and years. The handle does not really move noticeably. That is as I expected. Probably piezoelectric, like all the modern scales. But that also means it probably is not ideal for exercising your hands. For that, you need something with spring steel or a weight on a pulley. But it does what it is supposed to do, which is measure your grip strength. I was able to set up 2 users without using the manual, so reasonably intuitive. I will have to look at the manual and look at all the other features. The display works excellent, and is backlit. No difficulty seeing or reading it, even in the dark. The buttons make a sound, not electronic, just mechanical, sounds fine, and it is nice to know that a push is registered. Reasonably compact, so storage should be no difficulty. No, my only disappointment is that I don't appear to be as strong as I once was. I have a ways to go. I am somewhat concerned about the reading limit, but I probably won't peg it for a year or two. I am only getting to 190 lb. So, 74 lb to go. I figure if I can peg it at some point, I can change the distance setting to something where it is less optimized for my hand. That should be good for at least another 20 or 30 lb. They probably should have made it to go to 300 lb. More people would think it would work for them. Most of those would be wrong, and the 264 lb would be just fine, but people think they are stronger than they are. I can't speak to accuracy. I have some spring things and I can completely close the 200 lb and get close with the 250 lb. But it is probably incorrect, rather than this. Piezoelectric scales are usually very accurate, so I would think this is as well. Oh, I really like that it has both rechargeable and battery options. I tend to not buy stuff with rechargeable, because I have been stung with stuff that only recharges a few times, like my blood pressure wrist thing. Am I really going to be able to take that apart, and put in a new battery? This is what made me buy. That, and the good price. But as I said, I got more than I expected. I am rarely really pleased with a purchase...especially with inflation the way it is. Oh, just learned something new. Don't keep doing it over and over, or you will get a blister. You probably are not going to beat your first or second try per hand anyway, at least I didn't. Put it away, and try the next day.

I just got this Hichor hand meter. The directions are not the best. No where does it talk about being able to use for both hands. It is almost like it is for one armed people. So I’m assuming????? You set up #1 for right hand. #2 for left hand for person one. Person two get #3 & #4. ??? Is this what people do? I assumed it came with rechargeable batteries with the cord included. But never saw directions says 1st to charge fully. So back to reading….and saw please note……explains no batteries…..must install reg batteries. Cord is just for using if there are no batteries. So back to figuring out how to set up for right & left hands first 2 family members. UPDATE: customer service reached out offering to compensate me for the troubles of trying to figure this thing out by the lack of full directions. I felt bad, cause the Grip Strengthener works great and I should not have given it 3 stars I was just so frustrated, then I felt it implied that it had rechargeable batteries, which it did not. But the item works great , after getting thru my frustrations and figuring it out!

Well the grip tester adjusts, which is good, however I think that the adjustment screw can catch on the side a little and possibly give you a reading that's too high on the first pull. I did it and got a 180 pound reading. The subsequent squeezes yielded a more consistent range in the 150 pound area. With each squeeze your strength goes down, which is to be expected. I'll have to retest next week but I'm pretty sure 180 was a fluke. I hate the gimmicky age related stuff. The device really should just power on and let you test and retest, but it's not as simple as that. Sometimes it glitches a little or shuts off quickly. Bottom line is, works but make sure you take the first reading after adjusting the grip length with a grain of salt. Update, new max is 161, so the 180 number can't be right.

Well this device gives you the truth alright. You think you’re lifting your body weight well, scapular pull ups, push ups, heavy free weights and curls, but grip strength is considered by some researchers to be a huge marker for potential future dementia. And what’s more, the DISCREPANCY between right vs. left hand grip strength is also a contributing factor and for me, who works in a dental office and uses my right hand WAY more than my left, this is concerning. So enter this device. First of all, it’s super easy to set up 1,2,3 user profiles. It uses both 2 disposable/rechargeable batteries as WELL as an internal charging and it comes with the USB C cord as well. It’s comes with a PAPER instruction manual, which, in this day and age, I’m sorry, it’s still appreciated. The device is definitely sobering with its display showing “weak, normal, strong” for your profile. It’s important to set up your age in the device so you get the appropriate evaluation but there is an included paper chart of where one should roughly be according to age. Now, since I have very small hands and tiny fingers, (my hand is about 5” from wrist to middle finger tip) I think the readout will register lower because the adjustment doesn’t truly move that far for very small hands, so I consider my grip strength to be “normal”. The device doesn’t lie, and there’s no other way to keep track of this important new health metric. I highly recommend.

Took this to work so my co workers in the office can compete. I have people coming by my desk to try it. My buddy closest to me got off the charts with 160lbs and how I have to beat him. I can only get 120. Durable and accurate.

This electronic hand dynamometer works great for tracking grip strength! It feels sturdy and well-built, not flimsy like I was worried it might be. The grip is comfortable, and the digital display is bright and easy to read. I’m not 100% sure how accurate it is, but it seems pretty close. It’s easy to use, and setting up different user profiles was simple. I also like that it offers both rechargeable and battery-powered options, so I don’t have to worry about it dying on me. One thing to keep in mind—this is more for measuring grip strength, not for building it. If you’re looking for something to train your hands, you might need a different tool. But for tracking progress, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Overall, I’m happy with it! It’s a solid product, and if you’re looking for an easy way to measure grip strength, this is a great option.

Over time, the plastic frame and internal sensor on this unit warp/twist under heavy force, causing the readings to drop significantly. Back in February 2026, my peak right-hand reading was 202 lbs. Since then, the unit has been squeezed over 1,500 times by more than 80 different people. Eventually, all of my strong friends noticed their numbers consistently dropping on this device. My own readings fell by at least 20 lbs, maxing out around 188 lbs. Frustrated that my hard training wasn't showing results, I bought a metal GD Dyno 200 to compare. On the GD Dyno, I immediately pulled 218.4 lbs—a number that actually makes sense, considering I can nearly close a Captains of Crush #2.5 (rated at 237.5 lbs). To confirm the Hichor was the issue, I tested them back-to-back at the exact same handle width: I hit 218 lbs on the GD Dyno, but only 188 lbs on the Hichor. If you are training seriously, avoid the plastic units. Your numbers will eventually stall and decline as the frame warps. Save yourself the headache and buy a solid metal dynamometer instead.

Use to improve grip strength and also helps relieve me of carpal tunnel issues. Great build quality. I have read that using these devices can help with lowering blood pressure which is a nice bonus.

Works great. Handle can be adjusted for hand/finger length. Consistent results after re-testing. Even rates your strength based on your age. I've been exercising for years so my results were pretty good as I expected. I really like that you can now actually measure if your grip strength is improving. A neat tool for not a lot of money. It IS mostly all plastic but it seems durable and accurate. Recommended.

Es un producto chino. De mala calidad. En otras paginas he visto por 13 euros y me han cobrado 100 y al devolver hay que pagar los gastos de envio aranceles y enviar a nueva york.. una estafa por todos los lados

Works well. Grip could be a little more comfortable, but I'm not going to mark it down for that. Helps me keep track of my progress, allows me to know when I should break from training.

Comes with a chart to tell you where you should be given your gender and age bracket. Provides the ability to adjust for pounds or kilograms. Allows you to set for many different users to track based on their age and gender. Good device for the low price.

More fun to use than you might think! We bring it out at gatherings and dinner parties and guys ( girls too) absolutely cannot resist trying it and comparing their grip strengths. It’s not always the weight lifter in the group that has the strongest grip so that makes it more fun. For personal use it is an accurate way to measure any gains in grip so it functions well for that use. It was money well spent. Good product.
