The Original Knobble II by the Pressure Positive Company, Ruby Red by The Pressure Positive Company

Gute Qualität, muss noch etwas üben. Nur die Farbe wurde falsch geliefert, was ich schade fand, habe es trotzdem behalten

Wider base means you can actually use it on yourself without it slipping. Don't waste your money on the other one

I purchased this and another massage tool (the indexknobber) to help me work on my horse. I do some sports massage, acupressure and trigger point with him, but because I have tendinitis and arthritis in my hands and wrists, I'm not able to use my bare hands to work with him very well. As far as massage tools go that are made for horses, it's very slim pickings. There is a "Y" shaped tool made specifically for horses, but I found that it placed my wrist at a bad angle when working on his haunches, shoulders, and neck especially, and I wasn't terribly pleased with using it on his back. I have really enjoyed working with this tool on my horse. It's not exactly as versatile as the Indexknobber, but this has been perfect for working on pressure points and knots. The knob is not too big for hitting small points, and not too short. The handle fits comfortable into the hand and has not yet given my wrists trouble. I also like that it is helpful with skin rolls on my horse. I have a hard time doing those with my fingers alone, and if I use this against the fingers of my other hand, it works wonderfully. I do have to admit that I use the Indexknobber more, but that's mostly because I'm working on a horse and need the Indexknobber's versatility more. That said, I do think this would be excellent for working on your own pressure points and knots, so long as they are where you can reach. I've owned the product for perhaps a month now. I have been using it fairly often sometimes even twice a day--before and after my ride--and it is holding up just fine. It still looks like new, in fact, and I'm keeping it in a tack truck so it's not exactly getting kind treatment all of the time. I especially like that it is easy to clean--a must considering I'm working with my horse, and no matter how much I brush him, there's still enough dirt and dust and loose hair to get on the tool. All in all, I'm very pleased with it. Most importantly, my horse is happy, too!

Easy to use. Can get good pressure when you put it against a wall, squeeze between your knees (for vastus muscle). Best to have this along with the Jacknobber II and the Theracane. Each tool has it's strengths and limitations. I've found having all three covers all your self-care trigger point needs.

Gets to the knots without hurting my thumbs
