There’s nary a creak to be found when handling the Bob and Brad massage gun and that’s promising long-term. However, if you’re a committed gym-goer or someone who really suffers with sore muscles, you may need to spend more for extra or larger attachments or speed settings. On the other hand, compared to full size massage guns the likes of the Hypervolt, Theragun, Ekrin, or addsfit, the Bob and Brad comes up a little short. The oval shape (pill-shaped) of the handle, and the fact that the rubber application on the handle is the same.

It doesn’t have some of the frills the other guns have, so don’t expect an app, Bluetooth connectivity or even a case, and it doesn’t feel quite as powerful as the priciest guns.
