IMTUG4: The Two-Finger Utility Gripper

Most grip training tools ignore the thumb--even though an opposable thumb is unique to primates and closely tied to the development of tools--and then treat the other four fingers as if they're all the same.

Not so at IronMind, where charting new territory is in our DNA, and when we tackled the thorny question of how to best train the hand--the whole hand--we discovered a great irony: the best way to do this was to focus on one or two fingers at a time . . . recognizing that our fingers differ in both length and strength and ever mindful that the fifth member of the club--your thumb--should get the same direct attention as your other four fingers.

Well, you can't achieve these goals with a conventional gripper, so we wiped the board clean and started fresh, and the result was IMTUG . . . a small wonder that will take your grip strength and hand health to new levels.

IMTUG may look little and friendly, but he's one powerful guy. Take the untraditional route to superior grip strength with IMTUG:

• -Fine tune your grip strength training, one or two fingers at a time
• -Ergonomic design matches finger lengths with training range of motion
• -Pocket-sized for portability: easy to carry . . . hard to put down!
