        Comments about Power Putty Hand Strengthener:

        I may be new to climbing but not new to working out and athletics. I got this and was so excited I pulled it out of its box immediately and started using it, while in a work meeting. Was great, used it for about an hour straight. Got home put it away and didn’t think of it again. Next morning I woke up to itchy hands and these small little blisters between my fingers. They were the cause of the itching. If I squeezed them clear liquid came out. I have never shown signs of being allergic to anything including silicone or latex. I was not actually sure what it was from until I showed a friend the item he messed with it and began to show the same signs within minutes. I wouldn’t get it if I were you.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Power Putty Hand Strengthener:

        Just because it's the cheapest doesn't mean it's not the best! The best part about this stuff is that you can use it to train your hands in so many different ways, unlike the spring things... Just don't lose the little instruction manual, or think that you can buy the hard stuff right away- medium is plenty solid!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Great hand strengthener, versatile, tons of workout options (more than just in the instruction book).

          I'd go with the firmest putty. If you need to soften it, stick it in your pocket for a while. if you need to harden it, stick in the fridge for a while.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              I think this product is great. I am sorry that the other reviewer had such a terrible allergic reaction to it, but neither me nor my friends have had any trouble with this putty.

              Its incredibly versatile (as someone else mentioned) and works out the muscles in your hands, fingers, and forearms in different ways.

              Great stuff... I guess being putty it has the potential to pick up dirt, but I've had mine for 4 months and it looks brand new.

              Comments about Power Putty Hand Strengthener:

              It was really fun to use and seemed like it would have really helped my hands get stronger, but after just a few days it had picked up so much dirt and hair that it was just too gross to use anymore, even though I had kept it in the box when I wasn't using it. I recommend a spring or a ball that won't pick up everything that it touches.

              Good stuff for making hands strong

                  Comments about Power Putty Hand Strengthener:

                  This is good stuff, and has definitely improved my hand strength & injury resistance. I've given it to a few family members too, and they like it too. Also, it's kinda fun.

                  I noticed one of the reviews here mentioned an allergic reaction. I haven't had that, and I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else. Sometimes the green (hard) kind does make my hands a little green until I wash them, but I haven't had that problem with the blue (medium-hard) kind.
