Strengthening Your Hand Grip

["DoubleAction"]

...It used one handed diagonal wire cutters to cut heavy gage steel wire, that is common on 5 gallon pails. I did this for over 15 years in my workplace. Most of my co-workers would use bolt cutters, but, I used hand held professional grade wire cutters, with a leather holder ( holster ) on my belt. At first, It was very hard to cut the wire, but after about 6 months to a year, it became easy, fast, with little effort.

.....This became to show at the range, and in the web of my grip muscles.

...Since I retired; I have to rely on second options, but not as good as the wire cutters :

The 'Weight Winder'.

Another classic exercise is the 'weight winder'. Get a 12" piece
of rod or pipe about 1 1/4" diameter, 5' of clothesline, and a plastic 1/2 gal.
jug. Tie the line around the center of the rod (a hole will help), and to
the bottle. Fill the bottle half full of water, and holding the rod at arms
length with both hands, SLOWLY wind the weight up to the rod, and then SLOWLY
unwind it. Repeat until your arms fall off ;-).

I made my Weight Winder, about 15 years ago, using a 1' inch dowel, long boot laces, and various iron weights. I also have to use a grip master since I had my stroke.
