Abstract: The invention disclosed herein provides an exercise device and method of use for strengthening the fingers and hands. The device includes a base with a handrest onto which the hand is placed in a palm-up posture with the fingers extending beneath finger pads attached to a handle joined to a rotatable shaft. Resistance to shaft rotation is encountered by the fingers and hands during exercise which allows the user to build strength and endurance. The rigid shaft includes a sprocket to which a chain having a weight load affixed permits the addition of disk shaped weights for greater resistance as the muscles of the fingers and hands become stronger.
