I used to a long time ago. I got a set when I was in Korea, but apparently my wonderful ex-wife lost them, along with half the rest of my crap, when we got divorced.

Not really. I got good with the basic exercise, finally got to the point where I could go either direction without them even touching.

I can do clockwise without them touching on my right hand and the same when going counter clockwise on my left hand. But I'm still working on counter clockwise and clockwise respectively.

They're used in cases of damage to the hands in physical therapy, and by people who just want to increase their hand strength and dexterity. They say they're supposed to help in stress relief but considering by gray hairs, I doubt that's valid
