I was told by one of the guys at Good & Loud Music that you get the same reaction to playing the guitar. He suggested to just play the guitar more than buy one of those, it will do the same thing.

Also, I also get tired when just doing a barre chord song, but you just keep at it, and you learn how to deal with the pain.

You will probably get the same reaction in the long haul but it has certainly helped me to strengthen my fingers in no time. I like 'em... my 2 cents

No, but you can masterbate while driving (referring to Beauford33's post)...and it costs allot less.

I can't believe I just said that.
