MALCO22, et al...
I also agree with what the others have said. You also can better "FEEL" what you are doing with your hands. You can be certain that you are applying the correct pressure...not to much...not too little. You can also jelq in different directions...it's just better with the hands.
With the jelq device, it is difficult to control the pressure, and it is a bit
awkward to use and impossible to replicate the motions and flexability that are possible with the hands... None of this is possible with the device and you are more easily able to cause injury.. I applied too much pressure and caused bruising and a build up of fluids. I was so sore that I almost went to the doctor....and it was impossible to piss easily and impossible to do some other things for about 2 weeks....if you get my drift!
The only thing that I found that just might be better than the hands, was using it for stretching... since you can pull a bit better than with the hands. This is due to the ability to "clamp down" and tightly hold with the jelq devise. Sometimes, while stretching, your hands can't get a good hold or you keep losing hold of your penis and you have slipping. But, that is the only positive thing that I can say about the jelq devise.
And, yes, the replacement rollers are expensive, unless you know how to make them yourself. A trip to Home Depot and a few dollars would do it.
For that matter, the entire devise can be home-made....very cheaply. The Hot Water Canning Tongs can be purchased at
Bed Bath and Beyond in the kitchen department. They are very cheap!
I was too impatient, so I didn't build one myself...I wish I had not wasted my money...either way. There is a very good thread on
"How to Make a Jelq Device", on the Thunder's Place site (

I hope this helps. Good Luck my friends...
