So how do you choose the right wrist exerciser to suit your needs? Well, the answer lies in the question. You start by identifying “your needs”!

After all, with all the wrist exercisers and wrist exercise tools in the marketplace, it’s quite easy to get confused.

So first you have to ask yourself what is you want to achieve?

Are you simply looking to build stronger wrists for general purposes such as carrying your groceries home or overcoming an old injury, or are you looking to develop your wrists and hands for a specific sport such as golf or baseball? Only you know the answer to this question.

And with that said, I have compiled a list of the best wrist and grip training tools available and included descriptions of each and what they are most suited for, to help you make up your own mind and maybe point you in the right direction.

So here they are:

The Russian Kettlebell

The Russian Kettlebell is a great wrist exerciser has many uses. Whilst it does strengthen your wrists, it also helps develop many other muscle groups including improving your overall core strength. Kettlebells are popular with a variety of athletes ranging from mixed martial arts to golfers.

So compared to many other wrist exercisers, I wouldn’t say it’s only good for one particular muscle group, instead I recommend you use iron kettlebells as part of all of your wrist training endevours.

Gripstik Wrist Exerciser

The Gripstik is not only great for developing wrist strength, forearm muscles, and upper arm muscles, but it can also be used to speed up the rehabilitation process after injury as well as relieve aches and pains caused by repetitive motion.

Whist it will build wrist strength, it’s strength benefits will be limited to only the muscle groups surrounding the wrists. Therefore making the Gripstik a true wrist exerciser.

This wrist exercise tool especially great for athles such as ice hockey players, climbers and motor cross riders.

Captains Of Crush Hand Gripper

Captains of Crush are great for developing wrist and grip strenght, but as the primary movement relies on the opening and closing of the hand at various degrees of resistance, the main benefits will be in hand grip strength rather than wrist strength.

Although there are many other wrist building exercises that can be performed with these grip training tools.

This grip strength tool is great for athletes who rely on strong grip as part of their sport, such as baseball  & tennis players, arm wrestlers and golfers. The Captains of Crush is also great for individuals who just want to build up their overall grip strength.

Gripmaster Pro Hand Gripper

Similar to the Captains of Crush, the Gripmaster pro is a hand exercises tools that mainly focuses on building hand strength. There are many hand grip exercises that can be perfromed with the Gripmaster Pro series and they come in variying degrees of resistance.

The main difference between the Gripmaster Pro and the Captains of Crush is that the Gripmaster Pro works individual fingers and forces each finger to work on it’s own merit, preventing one part of your hands muscle groups from overcompensating for the other.

This hand and wrist exerciser is also good for athletes that rely on a strong grip such as tennis, golf and baseball players.

The Marcy Wedge Wrist Exerciser

The Marcy Wedge Wrist Exerciser is one of my favourite wrist exercise tools as it is so easy to use, but in it’s simplicity lies it’s genius. You put your arm inside the device and simply pull the hand downward toward your forearm for as many reps as you can handle.

The great thing is that you can adjust it from level 1 (which is easy) to level 5 (for advanced users). Not only will this give your forearm a great workout, it will simultaneously make your wrists much stronger.

The Marcy Wedge can be used at the gym, or whilst sat infront of your TV to give you a great wrist and forarm workout on the fly.
