Is it true that the thumb and grip do NOT heat at the same time with this model??? ~I read that in the three star rating comment. Could be a downer,

I installed them on my atv and there are two controllers one for each hand.So far I really like them as it gets cold in northern Minnesota. You can plow snowwith light gloves on and your hands stay very warm.Hope this helps.

Mine will do just the hands, thumb, or both at the same time. Hope this helps you out.

Well with mine no, both work just fine at the same time. Had them over a year use them in the winter time.

Not true, you can adjust the heat on 5 different settings for both the handlebar and thumb. You can turn both on or just one

Mine both heat at the same time. The thumb could be a little warmer though.

You set the heat temperatures separately. You can control how hot you want your thumb/throttle to be and then you set your grip as to how hot you want your grips to be. You can 100% have both the thumb and the grips heating at the same time. Hope this helps.

It is a two zone heater. U can have the grip on one heat setting and the thumb at another. Or one on one off or both on or both off. It is an awesome set up.

Just rec'd mine- no jimping. I'd wait if you must have jimping. I would've liked it, but then, for cardboatd cutting, you should use a hammer grip, and jimping might be less comfortable there.The design is beautiful- like a mini Sage 1, (i have a Sage & have hard used it.) but my version was also VERY tight- the lock, the pivot, everything just barely wanted to move and took a lot of force.I've adjusted it and not it can open 1 handed, but the lock is still a bit stiff. I have way too many Spydies and this is the first w/ QC issues. The build quality is nice, but not superb, (corners need rounding.) I don't know- might have to send it in for repair. Good luck!

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

I've had a Palm Pre Plus for years, now. It gets pretty hot while being charged. It does get pretty warm while talking for some time, too. But, while not in use, it doesn't get hot. I've found that if I prop it up, while charging, it runs cooler.

I got same Model NO, But do you feel it as good tactile feedback?. I feel like its mushy. don't you think the model No. should be different? I think it supposed to be 73P5220

I'm puzzled about the rave reviews regarding cool touch, too. The palm rest area on mine stays cool, but the touchpad is warm - warm enough to make it uncomfortable for me. And the first time I used it, I also experienced significant heat on the underside of the laptop on the side closest to the fan. It doesn't seem to get quite as warm now, but still warm enough that I don't want it sitting on my lap for very long. It's certainly not as cool, top or bottom, as our little Asus netbook.

My wife is using it for weeks and has no problem at all. Easy to handle and no overheating. If you are having troubles with the tip, it could be the temperature control set too high or quality control failed. Good luck.

Yes, just got mine and it would not work. HOWEVER, I discovered the problem ... If I leave the the little latch/key (for the Grip's battery compartment) in the OPEN position, power was supplied. Locking it would causes it to have no power. Obviously this is defective and is going back. Weird, but definitely the issue ... at least for mine.

Overheats? I think P.Doell has the best answer. It is hard to get the battery in correctly, but I've had no problems with heating.

Thanks for asking, and Yes it does. I have arthritis in thumbs too and I use it all the time. My original OXO had a rubber grip which was better for my hand, but the replacement with the plastic handle works the same. I still would purchase above another style or brand.

I have this grip & keep it on 99% of the time. I'll take it off to make sure it stays clean. It's been a wonderful piece of equipment! Highly suggest! Hope this helps!

I used this feature this very morning. I was using the highest heat setting ... And it is super hot ... When I pressed the cool shot button, the temperature eased up, bit was not really cool.

Not sure why. I haven't had any issue with my unit (yet). You may have a defective Battery or Grip. Sorry...

i use a palm grip works wonderful for me, its got a nice curve to it. I have smaller hands as im female, i'm not sure if that makes a difference

The button where you hold your thumb gets pretty hot. The button was ridiculously hard to keep engaged. I'm not sure if I just got a defective one, or if they're all like that. This one got hot enough to hurt.

I haven't used it yet in anything over 80 deg F yet. I've always used a batting glove in my mitt, so I haven't noticed much difference. There does seem to be a little slippage after warming up but I have yet to adjust my glove yet to see if that helps. I'll let you know when it gets hotter outside. Hope this helps.

I think it is suited mostly towards a palm grip. I would find it difficult to use using a claw grip.
