Pressure Positive Co. The Jacknobber II (Blue)

great item just took too long to get here it took 2 weeks thats ridiculous

My feet and shoulders tend to cause me the most pain and this Jacknobber has given me a lot of relief. For my shoulders, I typically use my theracane as I haven't figured just how to correctly position this thing to dig into my shoulders, but for my feet, this is awesome. There are 4 different sized ends allowing you to switch to the size needed in order to get to the knot causing the pain. I typically run the largest one up and down my arches over my socks to loosen up and sort of "warm up" the area I'm going to work on, and then I use one of the smaller sizes to apply direct pressure and work out the knots.Depending on how much I work the same area, I can end up sore, but the relief I feel overrides any temporary soreness. One 30 minute session with my jacknobber is usually good enough to keep my feet pain free for a solid week before I need to use it again. Now, going back to my shoulders, this thing feels AMAZING when my husband uses it to do my shoulders for me, but like I said, I can't seem to pinpoint my shoulder knots and get it as deep as he can.This also feels good on my calves. Just lightly running it up and down my legs relieves a lot of tension. I think this is a great product for knots and pressure points and the hard plastic material leads me to believe this thing will last for a very long time. I also like how lightweight it is so it doesn't tire my hands when I'm using it. It's also a perfect size ( it stands 3.5" tall and 4" long) and comfortably fits into my hands and my husband's hands.

My wife is relentless with the back rub requests and I have the onset of carpal tunnel to contend with so I ordered this little guy to alleviate my own discomfort during the massages. It arrived in the mail a couple days ago and we are officially through the product's test phase. This review, obviously, is unique to my wife and I so please take that into consideration - she's pretty small.Firstly, on my end, things are great. Most of the quad-legged massage tools I've used have a main ball for grip. They're usually large, which is fine, but they don't allow for much movement . The Jacknobber is much easier to grip. I'm trying to find a way to describe it but I imagine you can sort it out by looking at the picture. My fingers web between the different prongs allowing me a stronger, more confident grip. Because of this, movement is smoother and the strain on my palm and wrists is lessened greatly. Thus, for me, this tool is a solid victory and definitely worth the low prices I'm seeing here.Now, we have ran into some problems working her back with it. Again, my wife is a slight whisper of a woman and running this thing along her spine feels a bit aggressive sometimes. The smoothness of the nobs allow for a kinder transition over bone but it's still not exactly what we need - said nobs are too far apart to hug snugly her spine. This isn't a huge problem, however, as I just rotate my grip and work the muscles with one ball instead of two. If you're servicing a skinny woman, buyer beware. You'll get inventive but shoulder work is pretty easy as is the base of the skull.Where the Jacknobber truly shone, though, was in footwork. After toying with this for a bit my wife got horizontal on the couch and put her feet in my lap. We watched television for a bit before I decided to try massaging the pads and arches of her feet and was wildly successful. It's deliciously invigorating to dole out a moan-garnering foot rub to a woman and for this I thank the Pressure Positive Company with hysterical zeal. At one point I got up to use the restroom and when I came back, she had continued where I left off and was working the ball of a foot at her toe base.Something to keep in mind. :)I recommend swooping this little dude up because the price is nice and every man needs these kinds of weapons in the arsenal.I thank you for your time.- t

simple object made to be an excellent massaging tool

Its pretty short spikes,smaller than expected!

I use the Jacknobber II on the muscles around my right SI joint. These muscles are deep and very hard to reach, but the nobber's smaller points (it has two diameters: 7/8 in. and 1 1/8 in.) are very effective. The tool's height is 3 1/2 in., which makes it possible to apply a lot of force into the muscle by using your own weight.The first time I used the nobber I stayed on the floor for 30-45 minutes or more, placing it under my hip and working it deep into the muscles. Pressing those long-cramped muscles into submission felt so good that I over did it, and I had a little soreness the next day. But I started to learn how to use the tool with greater and greater effectiveness without getting sore at all. The tool's hardness is an asset in my opinion. It is not difficult to control how much pressure you apply, and the tool doesn't squish away when you want to press hard.I'm amazed at how many nooks and crannies with cramped muscles I've found around the SI joint using the smaller points, and how many directions I can tug and press the muscles with it. I've tried the Davinci Tool Firm and the Knobble II as well. They are both good products and have their uses - but for deep, pinpoint control, this tool is my favorite by far.
