MicroFET HandGrip Digital Grip Strength Dynamometer w/ Data Collection Software
Capture every pound of grip force — live on screen, ready for your spreadsheet.
The MicroFET HandGRIP digital grip strength dynamometer with data collection software is built for research and education. The included FET Data Collection Software captures raw grip test data while showing a real-time graph, then saves it as a CSV file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, SPSS or R. Underneath, it's the same precision load cell dynamometer clinicians trust for routine screening and ongoing evaluations, with four built-in grip tests: maximum, 5-position, rapid exchange and fatigue.
Key benefits
- Data collection software included: raw data capture with a live, real-time graph.
- Open CSV export: no proprietary file lock-in; analyze in most spreadsheet and statistics programs.
- Four grip tests in one unit: maximum grip, 5-position grip, rapid exchange grip (REG) and hand fatigue grip.
- Load cell accuracy: within 1% of reading, 0.1 lb resolution, no hydraulic oil to leak.
- 0–200 lb capacity: results in pounds (lb), kilograms-force (kgf) or Newtons (N).
- Wireless or standalone: stream over Bluetooth or test on its own with the LCD readout and 30-test memory.
- Rechargeable power: 3.7 V lithium-ion battery with AC adapter and auto shut-off.
- Protected and covered: carrying case and a 3-year standard warranty.
What the data collection software does
The FET Data Collection Software is designed for research and education. It records the full force curve of every grip, not just the peak number.
- Connect the HandGRIP to your computer over Bluetooth.
- Test while the software captures raw force data and draws a real-time graph on screen.
- Save each session as a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
- Analyze the CSV in most spreadsheet or statistics programs — Excel, Google Sheets, SPSS, R and more.

Frequently asked questions
Is the data collection software included? Yes. FET Data Collection Software comes in the box. MicroFET Clinical Software is sold separately.
What file format does it save? Comma-separated values (CSV), which opens in Excel, Google Sheets and most statistics programs.
Can I see the data while the test is running? Yes. The software displays a real-time graph while it captures the raw test data.
Is this version good for clinical documentation? It's designed for research and education. For patient reports and validity checks, add the MicroFET Clinical Software.
Can it be used without a computer? Yes. It works standalone with an LCD display and stores up to 30 tests.
What grip tests can it perform? Four: maximum grip, 5-position grip, rapid exchange grip and fatigue grip.
What warranty is included? A 3-year standard warranty.
