What does everyone think about the pros and cons of using conditioning tools for the forearms, shins, and body such as this one?

I know that it was discussed in another thread about conditioning your shins by using a glass bottle, or other cylinder...and it was pretty well accepted by those who posted as being a way to build up the shins...

I find that I get plenty of conditioning by doing lots of sparring - build up from light to medium to heavy contact. That and doing bagwork and seiken push ups.

Love the quote Bloke! That's one of my favorite movies.

Thanks BigAl - I dig it out every now and then and watch it - so many great lines in it.
