too short
I bought this product here several weeks ago and have used it time after time on my clients with little result.
i will say that it is difficult to shop for a tool online. you dont truly know what you are going to get until it is in your hands.
I started out with the Hand-L tool that i loved - but unfortunately after dropping it ONCE it completely shattered - so i thought that going for something that wasnt stone, i would get more longevity out of the tool. (even though things that arent ribbed are too slippery when applying creme).
i bought the large size tool (in green - not that it matters much) and the tool has proven to be too short. the grip of it leaves the pinky left with little to grip. the mechanics that you have to use to get a good grip on the tool hurts the wrist. the tool itself is so small that when gripping the tool and using the thumb press your index finger actually drags on the body and doesnt give a proper pressure gauge that you need when using a tool...
needless to say - hand-L is a better tool, but if you ever drop it, say bye bye. i havent found a tool yet that beats hand-L as far as what it can do.

Awesome
I actually got to meet the inventor & learn different techniques from her. I found it very easy to use & love it. Most clients can't tell I'm using a tool & I'm able to use as much if not more pressure without straining my hand or wrist.

this is pretty cool
This is awesome to use for self massage between clients especially if your hands hurt - you dont have to worry about hurting one thumb while trying to fix the other hand. A few clients who need dt work really enjoy it, but its a good idea to practice before bringing it into a treatment room. I think I've used this more on my hands and back than on other clients, but it works great!!
