About this piece

Pair of vintage Soviet hand grippers in heavy cast iron with strong steel springs, 3.026 kg (6.67 lb), 1970s–1980s. Ships worldwide from Ukraine.

From the seller's notes

These vintage Soviet hand grippers are a pair of heavy-duty spring hand expanders made in the USSR in the 1970s–1980s from solid cast iron with steel springs. Unlike modern plastic or light aluminum versions, these old-school training tools weigh about 3 kg for the pair and feel incredibly substantial in the hand. The springs are strong and provide consistent tension.
