The simulated strings are really just bumps under the grip, but when you reverse the grip, it's wobbly (see pics 2 & 3), and the rubber grip easily gets slippery, so I left it in its original location and put standard staples into each of the finger "buttons" - now, I can build up my callouses on each individual finger while I sit at my desk.

With a quick mod, it's awesome!

So, I got this just to maintain some sort of guitaring motion while I'm at work. I had no idea this could be used to improve performance the way it has, and in such a short time! I w it as more of a gimmick. Well, I was wrong.
This thing is great. The action is not as smooth as it could be, as it is all plastic, but the results after a week of use surprised the junk out of me! Fingers are noticeably stronger and more dextrous. I've been playing for about 30 years and I was shocked at the difference this thing made in my playing. The key is not to press each plunger like you're riffing... Take it with you in your pocket and press and hold each plunger, one finger at a time for 6 second each, as many reps as you can fit in. Trust me, after a week, you will be amazed at the difference of the feeling of your guitar. Bends will be effortless and your speed of hammer-ons increased along with better accuracy. I'm not making this up, I was very surprised.
For those wondering, "where is the simulated string, to maintain callous???", on the opposite side of the plungers, the gray rubber piece that cushions against your palm, remove that to reveal 3 simulated 10 gauge E strings. These also surprised me at how well they worked to build callous on my pinky, which does not get used often enough! I just press each finger, four at a time, into the " strings " and hold. The result is awesome. Give this thing a try, it's not just for n00bs!
I bought this for my dad who suffered a T.I.A., transient ischemic attack, a small stroke. He left dominate hand was affected. He is barber and this tremendously affect him.
His index and ringer finger were coming along nicely but his pinky and ring finger we slow to rehabilitate.
The Varigrip help with the two fingers lacky behind the rest becauase of the individual finger settings. I would recommend it to people who needs rehab in their hands due to injury along with it original purpose.

For ALS, MS, CIDP and masturbation hand strength this item can't be beat. Motor-neuron disease steals muscle strength. My hand therapist and her sisters recommended this item.

I have one of these that I keep at work, and absolutely love it. But when I bought one for home, they have updated the model with a contoured grip, which I don't like nearly as much. It may seem picky, but I find the flat grip more suitable for developing finger dexterity because you're free to position you thumb on the back grip if you want to change position, whereas the moulded grip kind of locks your hand into one position, which seems more suited for strictly developing strength. I would say the change is not an improvement, and it's definitely not what's pictured, so I'm returning it.
