Could have been solo much better
by arthur alinikoff (1 out of 5 stars)

I'm a drummer, have been for over 50 years. Last year I was diagnosed with mild osteo-arthritis, uncomfortable enough to effect my playing and cause me to do something about it, like exercise. I heard about this product and the reviews were spotty but I thought I'd take a chance since some users claimed that use of this contraption helped them with their arthritis and strength issues.

It's easy enough to use but there is one gaping flaw in the system. The stretchy bands used will snap after a couple of uses. I've already gone through 4 of them, I have two left, which means I'll be buying these bands forever just to keep using this thing. I'd like to return it for a full refund. I'm not going to spend my life re-buying bands no matter how cheap they are.

The people that designed this thing are onto something really good but they cheaped out. Replace those insipid bands with some industrial strength bands or strong springs wrapped in nylon for flexibility. Those should last a user a long time, probably cost a little more on the outset but cost much less over the long haul.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNTIL THEY IMPROVE THE BANDS. YOU'LL BE WASTING YOUR TIME AND $$.

Bands Easily Break on Low settings

I play Fingerstyle guitar so I need to stretch my fingers. I bought the Xtensor believing it was a good product and it seemed to look good. I should have done more research. The bands break easily and the one provided as extra are all small sizes. These also break easily. To replace the band cost just as much as the Xtensor itself since the sell them at $5.95 plus $8.00 shipping from the company. Almost $14 dollars for the new band but they do not provide the sizes inside the bag or box. I would stay away from this product until the start spending money to develop thicker bands. The CEO message is great but it is dated 2011 while they did not develop new bands as yet. Do not buy any more of Xtensors products until they upgrade the bands as well as letting you pick out the sizes.

Defective Parts and/or Design!
by Michael Bradley (1 out of 5 stars)

This worked for one day. The product clearly stretches the hand. Second time I used it the elastic bands wouldn't stay in place. Now I saw reviews going back years ago that say the same thing, but I figured no one would sell a defective product this long without fixing the problem. In present state, this product is not usable. I am surprised that Amazon would sell a defective product like this one. I am extremely disappointed in the vendor and Amazon!

Don't waste your money

The bands on the finger extensions break constantly. I broke two of them within a week of getting the item. The seller immediately sent replacement out, but they broke as quickly as the first ones. Don't waste your money. I have been using regular rubber bands around my fingers and get just as good a workout. You may have to tie knots in the rubber bands to get the proper tension, but they don't break!

Received this and the first three times I used it ...

Received this and the first three times I used it, bands broke and I had to replace with extras included. If this continue to happen, I have no choice but to return it. I bought similar unit to use at my summer place a few months ago and have had no problem with it. It seems to me the bands should be more heavy duty. I was using them on the first setting.

Good Product

I love the device. It is helping me to build and strengthen my forearm muscles and making my pimp hand strong. So watch out hoes! My onlu concern would be the bands. I hope they last or come in a thicker resistance. I started off doing a hundred reps per hand on the middle row but now am up to 120 feeling the burn. Ooh Yeeea!

NOT For Large Hands or Lean Wallets
by jeff w (3 out of 5 stars)

I read some reviews about how this Exerciser may help with Carpal Tunnel pain and decided to spend the money. I followed the instructions to the "T" and am now sharing my own personal views and experience. If you have large hands (meaning wide and long fingers) this device is not for you. The rubber straps are really made for folks with shorter fingers and will snap after a dozen uses or so. The part that fits in the palm is also small and tight for me and the Velcro strap barely fits around my wrist. My hands are large but not giant (I can "palm" a basketball 1 out of 10 times). The straps will have to be replaced often in my case and I'm just not willing to do that and would rather obtain another exercise device that will handle the larger hands and wrists without constantly breaking "down." Bah, Humbug. This thing made me grouchy and I'm not normally that way. A small disclosure to anyone with large hands would have been appreciated.

Good concept, cheap parts.
by D. Miller (2 out of 5 stars)

Great idea, bad results. First use one silicone finger band snapped. Sent that back and ordered a replacement. Same thing happened on first use.. Send back. No usable. Oh, I am an old man. 70's. So no super strength going on either...

My Second One
by L. Leung (4 out of 5 stars)

So I can work on both hands simultaneously. The small bands tor the ring and little finger of one hand becomes the index and middle finger of the other. Who has time to switch every time? I questioned the bands were too brittle even the first use when I placed the order for all the big bands with the staff, I was reminded that the instruction did say to stretch a little before use. I use this regularly to relieve the stress because I use my mouse all the time at work. I wish I had this or something when I endured a tennis elbow for 6+ months few years ago.

Good exercise for the hands
by Larry D. Griffin (3 out of 5 stars)

I had a problem at first. The bands for the fingers broke after just a few uses, less than two days. I contacted the manufacturer and he asked if I had pre-stretched them. The instructions that came with the unit did not say anything about doing that. He sent me some new bands and a new instruction sheet. Since then, no problem. I play a dulcimer and feel that the exercise will help a lot in getting my fingers to do the work on the fret board.
