Are yall's pinkies keeping up? Closing the medium tension one is fine for all my fingers except my pinkie. It can barely move it -__-

Muscle mind focus is the key. You have to focus on the forearm muscles you wish to work. Focus on pinky and squeeze hard.

Ha ha! I gave my medium to my 6 year old grandson, but I use the heavy tension. I think the pinky just goes along for the ride. You have to really concentrate on using the pinky. In reality, the pinky is not a very big part of your grip and forearm development. Place you hand on your forearm and flex your pinky. Not much action in your forearm, right? Now squeeze into a fist. Feel all the muscle action? Don't fret the pinky :)

Hi Isabel, I noticed my pinkie to not be as strong at first. Then I stopped trying to do individual fingers and just work on making a full grip, as in a handshake. After a couple weeks, all my fingers were stronger, then I went back to working on the individual fingers. All my fingers had made some improvement, but the pinkie is not as strong as the others. I have the Grip-Master "Heavy Tension" model, and I have reached the conclusion that the pinkie is not suppose to be as strong as the big meaty fingers on the hand. I have accepted the fact that the pinkie is the little finger and it won't be as strong as the others. However, I have used it to compress the Grip-Master "Heavy Tension" model and I can do it, but it is a good bit of effort to compress it down all the way. I can do it, but I ask myself, Why? I have no plans of crushing walnuts with my pinkie, so I really don't see a need to do a workout routine to beef up my pinkie. It does get stronger from doing a handshake grip of all fingers. I step through all fingers and the little pinkie is able to compress the button down. Over time, you will probably see strength develop in your pinkie, but I don't see a need to be able to crush walnuts with it.

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

Sounds like the tension knob or cable that controls it may be broken, when i turn my tension knob to increase tension I feel it even if I only move it from 1 to 2.

Your able to move your fingers a bit. It doesn't like completely stop you from moving your finger at all.

The bending at your palm thing is throwing me off a bit. The splint will be isolated to your pinkie and is fully adjustable. If you adjust the top part you should be able to gain 1/4"

I have a small hand and can fit all 5 finger tips if I turn the hand slightly sideways so to make sure the thumb can have enough access to the light. This feels awkward. I find it easier to do the thumbs separately.

I just tried it on my pinky and it's doable. I haven't tried really using it yet,but for the most part it's keeping it from bending if you're having trouble with a trigger finger. Its adjustable so it should work

I held my object together pressing with my index finger counting to 10 and it held. If your object is large enough to clamp, you may want to do that and spare the pressure on your fingertip.

I don't have that problem. As I turn the knob to the right, the tension increases. It lessens when I turn the knob to the left.

What I found on this highly annoying issue is that the button is too small for my thumb. But the symptom should appear when trying to start too. The work around is to build up the button to make it easier to push. I've used trimmed rubber bumper pads, but I'm thinking a drop or two of some kind of glue might be better.

I get the same "slop". Barely moves a fraction of a millimeter but enough to be annoying. It appears that many have this problem when I do a search. Seems many are coming up with clever ways to fix this...many are adding a thin piece of rubber to tighten everything up.

We only screw it in to hand tightness. We've never had a problem. I know this sounds dumb, but have you tried putting in different?

I'm sorry Tracey your having this problem but you usually twist it one way to extend it and the oppisite to retract it. There's also a clear stopper in the midddle. Make sure to take the stopper out then try it. If thats not the problem then it might be broken. You might have to exchange it for a new one. I hope this helps.

U need to speed up your finger movements buddy. Try doing it quick. It works fine for me !!

The button where you hold your thumb gets pretty hot. The button was ridiculously hard to keep engaged. I'm not sure if I just got a defective one, or if they're all like that. This one got hot enough to hurt.

There is a ballon that squeezes the hand. There are balls that are supposed to massage fingers and the palm is supposed to get warm. No air to fingers. It needs serious redesign. The balls are barely felt. The squeeze is waaay too much and personally it made my thumb joints extremely painful from the squeeze. Definitely not a recommend from me.

Put a little pressure and make small circular motions. Basically put your hand in a comfortable position so the mitt doesn't slip off. Thats how i've been using it.
