DIY Grip Tools
I have seen several Pinch lever devices on the internet that are on sale for quite some cash so have made up my own for almost nothing and also turned it into a pinch lifting device too.
Using good old 'recycled wood' (there surely is no need to buy this from anywhere - just keep looking till you find something suitable)
Simple to do:
Take a piece of wood about 50mm thick and 200mm x 400mm, drill a hole at the bottom in the middle. Put a bolt through the hole, attach a weight and make sure you have a nut to keep the disc safely attached.
To make the grip thicker, screw another piece onto the wood. Word of caution - be very very careful with your thumb when pinching at the limit of your range, it is very easy to damage your thumb and cause injury which will take months to repair itself (I know this from experience). Take a narrow grip first and increase the width slowly.

If you have no idea how to use this device then I would suggest watching this video

The pinch lift device should be self explanatory. Both exercises are great for building grip and forearm strength.
