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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring hand grippers \/ hand expanders, pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e USSR (Soviet Union)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s–1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy cast iron with steel springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 3.026 kg (6.67 lb) for the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original dark finish with patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed, in excellent vintage condition with an authentic patina.
