    Comments about Black Diamond Forearm Trainer:

    I doubted this donut at first but bought it anyway as just another knick-knack to lose, doesnt look fancy and is inexpensive. WELL, that was last year 2006 I believe, (time flies...) OK, buy this for [$], buy 2 or 3, keep one in the car and use it when the mood hits. DURABLE, GREAT STRESS RELIEVER, ACTUALLY WORKS hands,4arms and even biceps,(fast toning!) and it is fun to see quick imprvmnt. Also, the donut can be worked slooowlyy or quick. Verstile! Highly recommended arm trainer/driving exercise, doesnt impeed manual transmission shift. Buy it, try it, love it or leave it, its [$] and still looks brand new. Simplest "tools" always most effective. (for some of us.) Good luck!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      This is the perfect workout when not climbing, or when fingers are cramping. It not only provides a forearm workout; but also strengthens the fingers and each individual joint.I would recommend this device to all climbers.

        Comments about Black Diamond Forearm Trainer:

        I got this and a gripp medium firmness ball. This little donut works very well as a grip trainer as well as a forearm trainer. You can work pairs of fingers, all at the same time, or just a pinky. I would say that for the price, this is a great product.

          Great tool to work all around hand and forearm strength. Starts out tough to use, but don't give up on it, you will improve. A must for any climber who is getting serious about the sport.

                    This is the best forearm workout I've ever used. I had put it away for about a year, but I recently started working with it again. A couple of weeks ago, one of my boy scouts noticed that I had produced a tear on the inner face. 'Bummer. But, I'm buying two more tonight. This product is THAT GOOD!
