There's a very simple thing that works great for grip strength. All grip strength really comes from the forearms, not the hands directly. When you work a hand exerciser - you're really strengthening the forearm and maybe working on finger flexibility.
A piece of a broom handle works for this just fine. Put a rope that is long enough from you with your arms straight out to go to the floor. Tie a small weight (start with something that's no more than 2.5 pounds)to the rope and then tie the other end to the brook stick. Using both hands, roll the weight up, and then roll it back down. (The rope should wind around the stick as your hands roll it.)
Your forearms will EXPLODE after doing that a few times. It's a perfect exercise for grip strength and it's cheap to make.
