Thanks so much!! buymeacoff.ee/beforeyoubuy
Did some research on these before buying the Bob and Brad. Heard this was a really good product for the money and I would definitely have to agree! Easy to use, 5 adjustable levels, interchangeable heads, very quiet, comes in a nice case. Be aware you do have 7 days to sign up for the 1 year warranty but its an email that takes literally 2 minutes. I have no complaints about this product and would highly recommend purchasing.
Bob and Brad Mini Massager is quite impressive. It’s quiet, lightweight, and strong for 5 settings. I use the lowest setting to remove my muscle aches and knots. My skin became itchy upon use in the beginning, and customer service says it’s normal to itch at first due to the speed intensity, but it goes away after a while. The itch has lessen but the removal of muscle aches and pain relief outweighs more.It’s easy to use. Press and hold the button to turn on and off. Battery life appears to be long as I haven’t charged it since I received it 3 weeks ago.It comes with a simple bag with all the attachments, instructions, and USB cable cord.I am happy with the product. Thank you Bob and Brad.
After researching many massage guns and reading online reviews, I decided to purchase the Bob and Brad. So glad I did. It is a quality piece of equipment. With 5 different heads, there is one for every use. The heads slip on easily, the gun is quiet and smooth, and so far the battery life has been fantastic. Comes in a very convenient zipper case-good for travel. If you are in the market for a massage gun at a reasonable price, you won't be disappointed in this one.
I did a ton of research on massage guns and finally landed on the Bob and Brad model. I'm very happy with it and it is just as good if not better than my brother's theragun and my friend's hypervolt which cost 3x what I paid.
I think I've watched several hours of your videos now trying to pick through the billion on amazon😂 Being from Canada makes it difficult, but Bob & Brad is the one I finally settled on! Thanks for all the info, you provide an awesome service!
The Bob and Brad massage gun is wonderful to use on sore muscles after a workout. It’s nice not have a handheld massager that doesn’t require another person for use. It’s not bulky and comes with a great traveling case. Then interchangeable heads are easy to switch out. The battery life is long so I have no issue with that. I love Bob and Brad’s information and this product has been all that it claimed to be and more. My husband and I highly recommend it.
My Bob & Brad C2 Mini massager died after 3 months. I'm calling Monday for an RMA. In the meantime, I ordered the RecoverFun Plus and M9 Pro. They're on their way...
I did a TON of research before deciding on this unit. I watched multiple TH-cam reviews, read specs, etc. This doesn't have the trendy name of some other brands, but it's durable, powerful, quiet, comfortable to use (grip/weight/ergos), and for the price it can't be beat.
This is the first kind of massage gun I’ve ever purchased and I am very pleased with the Bob & Bad! I did a little research before I made my choice and I am happy with the power and weight of this thing. It really pounds out the stiff tight muscles in my neck and back. Easy Xmas presents for my two sisters-in-law. COVID-19 means no massage parlor visits and this has been a great alternative to alleviate my stiffness.
I love Bob and Brad massage gun as it provides a powerful force for a deep massage. The weight of the gun is perfect and the build is very solid. The battery life is also very good on this gun compare to others.
@@michael_caz_nyc No, the smaller Q2 one. Purchase on Amazon: @t (affiliate). Full Review: @ I have many other videos that show this massage gun as well for comparisons
@@michael_caz_nyc No I meant the Mini Q2. It's by far my favorite one still. Purchase on Amazon: amzn.to/3olJwSf (affiliate). Full Review: th-cam.com/video/hvQQRYcNc98/w-d-xo.html and have many other videos comparing it.
I've always wanted to get a massage gun but all the most popular brands are incredibly expensive and I've heard they stop working after a few months. After having knee surgery I finally decided it'd be worth it to get a massage gun to aid with my recovery. I had to do some research to find this gun but so far its been incredibly helpful. The Bob and Brad massage gun has a high stall force to get deep into tight muscles without stalling out and stoping working. This has been super helpful to loosen up my stubborn tight hip flexor. I am overall very pleased with this gun's performance, especially for the price.
The build quality on b&b massage gun is excellent for the price, especially when compared to higher cost massagers like the Theragun. Glad I made the purchase.
I bought a used homedics massage chair flap for close to 10 bucks and enjoyed every second of it (that one was quite aggressive compared to this one, this gun is much more efficient however), and seeing that that it broke down on me after my first few uses, I was hoping to get a massage gun. They were quite expensive at the time that happened and bob and brad delivered a fantastic product that looks 10 times better than most I've seen. No way I'd carry around a massage chair so a massage gun is always on the list as far as fitness goes so this is the perfect product for anyone really.I had great lower back pain throughout the year of 2020 and this gun just blasted it away swiftly. A lack of movement is harmful to anyone yet this specific gun is a great tool overall. I love the case it came with for sure.
The wife wanted a massage gun so I started researching. Obviously there are lots out there with the most mainstream products coming from well known brands at premium prices. Lots of watching videos and reviews later led to me landing on the Bob & Brad massage gun. It’s worth noting one video on TH-cam stacks this product against 29 other guns and it holds its weight. First of all, it’s very quiet in comparison to the Theragun which could be considered top tier. I also feel like the size makes it easier to control and hold. One button design makes it easy to use. Even on the lowest setting it has really good power and excellent stall force. The tips are also quality. I can’t think of a single complaint so far. For the price, this gun is the one you should be getting + Bob & Brad are experts in the space.
I was initially going to purchase theragun. I’m the type of person that researches, reads reviews, and watch videos for the products that I purchase. I took the leap and purchased the bob and brad. I’m glad I did. Compact and powerful.
Our massage therapist introduced us to Hypervolt massage gun. She paid over $300 for hers. I did some research. I do already follow Bob &Brad so it's a no brainer that I considered their product. This massage gun is awesome. Small, light, compact. My massage therapist likes it better than hers. A+. My husband told our therapist, "Hey, I might not need you anymore!" Highly recommend (and regular massage therapy!)
Hi, I am a competitive tennis player and would like to get one to relief the muscle especially during the tournament. Mainly to relax the muscle soreness, recovery and prevent cramping issue. Which one would you actually recommend. Maybe best to meet the goals for different price range?😊
I personally carry around the B&B Q2 in my backpack for my ninja competitions for the exact same issue. You don’t really know when your run is going to be and it helps me warm up before my event as well. I love the small and portability of it as well hardly adding any weight or bulk to your bag. Here’s the full review: th-cam.com/video/RGjDxfxVpS0/w-d-xo.html I hope your season goes well though assuming you are in off season now?
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thank you for the reply! And yes just finish the last tournament of the year last weekend and it is off-season now. Good luck for your competitons too 💪😊
I'm torn between the Bob and Brad C2 and the Opove M3 Pro Max. I saw that the Opove delivers 15mm amplitute, whereas the Bob and Brad is only 8mm. I'm 5' 11'' and weigh around 140 lbs. Would my muscles need that extra 7mm or is the Bob and Brad powerful enough for me?
I’m 5’7” and 155lbs and the Q2 is the one I personally use. You sound like you’re a lean person so I don’t think you need the extra amplitude in my opinion
sportneer vs bob and brad? which one has the better stall force? i am not interested in the size/ weight. i like that the sportneer is quiet and has the metal to use with muscle rubs and wipe clean. but i like the cushion head of bob and brad is forgiving for newbies/ accidental going over bony prominences. is the stall force between the two similar/ negligible difference? also is the noise level also similar? what about durability of heads long term - does the plastic heads appear to damage with wear and tear over time? i intend to use it on others as well as myself but i can always get assistance for hard to reach areas eg my back so that is not an issue. it's down to $17 difference between the two after coupon use ( b&b $17 cheaper), which would be the better choice?
It’s a tough call for sure. If size is no issue maybe the Sportneer as it fits some of your other requests. Just be careful around the bones at first and you’ll get used to it pretty quick. The Bob and Brad does have a stronger stuff for us on lower speeds and about the same stuff force and higher speeds
Yeah, I love them both. I personally use the B&B due to size mostly. It is a little stronger on lower speeds, but that’s not usually a need. You honestly can’t go wrong with either
Im contemplating between the Sportneer Elite D9 and Bob and Brad C2. Which one do you think has more power/mm depth? The Amazon product page of B&B advertises a stall force of 35lbs while the Sportneer advertises a stall force of 18.7 pounds. Personally, I'm looking for a good deep tissue massage and something that won't stall out. Battery life and size/weight doesn't really matter to me. Just want something strong that won't stall out. Thanks in advance!!
I’d probably go with the Sportneer. It’s stronger than the B&B. I prefer the size of B&B myself. I have a coupon code for the Sportneer in the description that saves you some $$ on it. I do get a little kickback
If I don’t care about size but am looking for something comparable to the hypervolt (in terms of stall force/power/speed) should I go with medcursor, sportneer or bob and brad? Thank you so much for this vid!
Maybe the Sportneer due to the heads it comes with and metal build. It’s a little weaker on the lower speeds, but also is insanely quiet at the speeds which is nice for lighter massage. It also provides a good amount of power on higher levels
Cool info! I wasn't aware of most of these things while shopping for massage guns. This was really helpful! I saw you Branch out to other stuff, logically. But it's difficult to find something people care enough about and also don't crash into other reviewers. Activity trackers especially with sleep (even though they are mainly too inaccurate) is something that seems to attract people their attention.
I'm hoping to buy one today, do you recommend the Medcursor Mini, Sportneer, or Bob and Brad the most? I'm not really concerned about portability, mostly power and noise (as long as you think the amplitude is sufficient :) ). Also, is there much difference using the air cushioned head vs the ball or fork attachments near bones or tender muscles?
You may want to go with the Sportneer. It is quieter on lower speeds and since you don’t care about portability it’s a great buy. Your cushion is nice if you don’t know where the bones are or are experimenting early on. Once you get the hang of where you need to massage, it’s not really needed. Are usually just put my finger on the bone I don’t want to hit so that way I don’t accidentally hit it
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Thanks a lot! Personally I would have gone with your suggestion, but my wife wanted the lighter of the two (Bob and Brad) once I got a chance to ask her lol. I sent you some coffee as thanks :)
I personally use it every day. If you want something stronger you may want a Sportneer Ellie, Ekrin V37S or Theragun. Make sure you watch videos on those to see if they’re a good fit for you though.
Cheers for the summation. You recommended three at the end, and the B&B C2 was your favourite (before the Q2). Out of interest, why wasn't the medcursor mini or the Sportneer your favourite since they seem to have better numbers than the B&B. Just the size/form factor? Thanks.
Great questions. Mostly form factor. I’ve actually just updated this video. I go through a very detailed tests and comparisons th-cam.com/video/tMUO5Y4AyYA/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to see the list of the other ones tested besides the ones shown in your graphs: Bob & Brad, Hypervolt, Medcursor Mini, NoCry, Softerspot S2, Sportneer D9, Theragun Prime?
I did quite a bit of research on which massage gun to get because there are so many different ones, and a lot of them are pretty much the same guns just renamed and re packaged. I came a tossed the Bob and Brad massage gun and read good things about it. It may not have some flashy name but it is definitely premium feeling and I like how portable and compact it is. It’s also not 500$ I’m happy with the purchase
Hi, It seem from the smaller sized you like the Bob and Brad C2. Have you tried their Q2 pocket sized? I recently got another brand from Costco but weight 4.2 Lbs and feel big and heavy. So looking to replace it with something smaller lighter. Thanks
Hi, your reviews are helpful, you’ve been doing a fantastic job with massage guns. Would be nice to have a review on Vybe Massage Guns, I have tested it and have great amplitude and impressive stall force for the price. What’s your opinion of Vybe against B&B or Sportneer? Thanks in advance
Thanks so much! I put a lot of time into the video so I’m glad they are helpful. I have only used an older Vybe Massage Gun when they were more like jigsaws an insanely loud. I have not had an opportunity to use one of the newer ones
Hey! thanks for the video! What do you think about selling the a massager without a way of using it while connected to the power supply? I'd like to buy the Theragun Pro but the fact that knowing that in the future eventually the battery will die, it makes me doubt about purchasing it, because they can decide to stop selling you a battery, and we would have to buy a newer model of it. Thoughts?
Great advice thanks 👍is the Renpho mini same as Rick and bobs just rebranded? What happened to the best gun under 100 the recover fun ? And do you not use the Renpho adjustable handle gun for 99 dollars that you loved 🤔👍☘️
Do you have the trigger point impact massage gun? I just had this used on me, and was SUPER impressed. In the past, I've been kinda anti-massage gun cause I've really not liked the theragun or hypervolt. Do want to be able to share this with my super muscular husband, too. Had no idea there were so many options!
watching this while using the medcursor massage gun bought through your link! I decided to go with the medcursor because of the variety in heads (especially the soft one because I have some sensitive forearm issues) and I absolutely love it! value for the ~ 130$ is amazing! would buy it again any day and it comes with a one year guarantee (if that really works out🤷🏽♂️).
I have severe leg pain. My doctor says my hamstring is squeezing the sciatic nerves. Which massager gun would you recommend. I am so bad, I walk with a walker or stick.
Oof!! Sorry! That’s gotta be frustrating. Is it because the hamstring is tight? I want to make sure they massage gun would even work for your issue. Massage Gun can help relax your muscle but depending on why it’s pushing on it, then it may not help. Is it an alignment issue? I honestly don’t know too much about sciatica outside of the basics. Overall I’ve been liking the Mebak 3 and Bob and Brad Q2 personally. th-cam.com/video/vlX700YPUKs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/NtQhnwzmYUU/w-d-xo.html
@@BeforeYouBuyReview I guess the hamstring is tight. Not sure. But , in therapy they massage my leg. Now therapy is over, I was looking on Amazon to buy a gun massager but there are so many. I need the pain to go away or lessen. I need a powerful massager to get deep in my muscle.
I personally use the Q2 the most. I have a lot of videos explaining why I chose over C2. Basically same power but smaller, cheaper, quieter. If you want an even larger stronger one then I recommend the Sportneer Elite D9. Make sure to watch my videos on it to see if it’s when you want and it’s a good fit for you. I also have a coupon code if you do like it. Those are my two top recommendations that both have incredible value and are great Massage Guns
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thanks for the quick response! I saw the other videos as well and just ordered the Q2. From my experience with foam roalling to much force is not necessarily the best thing. Unfortunately the coupon code does not seem to work in Germany but anyway your videos have helped a lot and saved me from buying one of the "top rated" products on Amazon
I cant tell which of the 30+ is the one that does the job! The theragun sounds promising. But can you recomend the best ones that do the job? I only care about that nothing else like noise, looks etc. I want one that doesnt stop when I press, and massages deep. But do you know if the theragun is durable and lasts if I use it every day? And the problem is in my lower back, I have to be able to reach there on my own with the massager.
Strongest thing possible is a jig saw with an attachment but I don’t think you’ll like it. Theragun is pretty strong. I’d probably recommend the Sportneer. I think I have it linked in description on this video
It’s one of my top ones because it’s so strong and has some unique features. Check out my recent comparison where I started using my testing to collect data Head to Head Best Massage Guns Tested - Theragun, Hypervolt, Bob & Brad, Kraftgun th-cam.com/video/tMUO5Y4AyYA/w-d-xo.html
I want the bob and brad but in Canada it’s way to much money, it’s over $250 cad 😓 I was thinking the recover fun mini since it’s only about $110 cad shipped to my door do you think it’s still worth it or would you recommend the medcursor mini? Which is even cheaper around $80-90
Hi, First of all thank you for the video. Your content is awesome. I was wondering if you have had the chance to use the RENPHO R4 and if yes what your thoughts are on it? Thanks again
Which model do you think is today the best? I understand that the stall force (the force that you need to stop the movement) and the amplitude of movement are the 2 most important factors... For example the theragun has 16mm of excursion amplitude and a very hight stall force...
I'll answer this one too ;-) Nice! You've done your homework! Good job! Here's what I will say. The one I personally carry is the Bob & Brad. I personally carry it with me to the gym for warmup etc, so I prefer the smaller size. I used the Theragun Elite last night actually. It definitely hits hard, and sometimes too hard it seems when you just want a lighter massage. Everyone is different though. After you narrow it down to the good massage guns, it kind of comes down to personal preference.
I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to check it out. Regarding massage guns in that price, check out the Medcursors. They are incredible values. Here’s a video where I compared 3 different ones in that price range th-cam.com/video/kCNs-3B09I4/w-d-xo.html
Hi there, buddy. Thanks for all of your reviews. I've watched many of them, and now I'm really confused. For my purposes, I don't need a daily carry; I want to use the massage gun only at home -- and I live alone, so the volume won't be bothering anyone else. I'm an amateur athlete, but I mostly need the massage gun to work out some serious, longstanding trigger points, including some hard-to-reach ones on my upper back. I've used foam rollers and lacrosse balls and all of that stuff, and I'm looking for a shortcut. In summary, can you recommend the best massage gun for someone who needs a substantial amount of force, who doesn't mind spending a fair amount of change, and who doesn't need a unit that is portable or small or particularly quiet? One last thing: stall force is great, but it would be more convenient to have the unit do the work instead of my needing to mash the thing into me with heavy pressure.
Sounds like the Theragun could be a good fit. Every massage gun you’re going to have to apply more pressure to dig in deep though. It may be hard to reach back spots. Try using a couch to help apply pressure for instance.
Hey Brother. So you would go Bob and Brad over the Sportneer? Been torn between these two. I like the metal build and the quietness of the Sportneer, but I like the weight and size of the B&B. Thanks!
You nailed it. It’s a hard one. I carry the B&B in my bag and like that one because of size and strength. It’s not quite as quiet but quiet enough for my needs. You’ll have to decide which one you value you more though since they are both similar in price.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Aloha and mahalo brother! Now I just have to figure it out and decide if I want to wait just a few more days to see if any Black Friday deals come up on either of those.
Hey! Great video! Hoping I can review some feedback before I make a purchase. I’m really liking your view on the B&B but I think I’m needing more amplitude (I want it to hurt)!! Price is not an issue. Is the amplitude from the B&B (8mm) VS the sportneer (12mm) that much of a difference? I want the strongest most powerful gun for my back knots
Thanks! the power is broken into speed, amplitude and stall force. I personally feel the stall force on the B&B is plenty sufficient. You may want to check out the Ekrin B37S due to stall force and more amplitude. th-cam.com/video/BH843PM-g10/w-d-xo.html Maybe the Theragun too but I rarely recommend because it’s so loud and expensive. If you don’t care about those it may be an option as well
@@BeforeYouBuyReview just bought you a couple coffees! Really appreciate the genuine reviews, as the overwhelming amount of information these days can be well .... overwhelming. I bought the Bob and Brad Gun. Looking forward to using it for my weight training recovery and warm ups!
Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Glad it helped. That’s exactly why I started this review channel. I always love researching stuff and watching reviews. Thought I would start giving back with honest reviews myself. Thanks again for the support
I’m in the process of rehabilitating a herniated disc in my L4. I’m experiencing numbness and extreme pain down my right side through my thigh down to my shin. I need something to massage the deep tissue in my thigh and hip area to allow it to relax where I can get some relief from that. There’s so many to choose from I don’t know that I need the deep deep tissue massage at this point. I really can’tAfford to spend $600 on a gun. I appreciate all your information.. I am trying to find the best bang for the lowest buck LOL
If you want a stronger one then it's the Sportneer Elite D9 otherwise you'll want the Bob & Brad Q2 in my opinion. See this video on stall force: th-cam.com/video/jQ7ppb5TacM/w-d-xo.html
Do you have a list of all 30 guns you reviewed so we know which ones you don't recommend? I am interested and have heard good things about the Achedaway and/or Achedaway Pro massage guns, and I'm wondering if you have tried either of these massage guns?
I was supposed to get one from them but they never followed through. Their massage gun looks a lot like the RecoverFun I’ve used. That doesn’t always mean it’s the same though. I do plan on going back and listing them. I also might do a live stream where I’m going through the massage guns. It’d be pretty long though
Thanks for the info. I have come to find out that many of these guns have batteries that CANNOT be replaced by the user. In other words, once the battery wears out, it is a pistol shaped paper weight. I think the Recoverfun is one that does allow user replacement of battery. To my mind, any device that does not have a user replaceable battery is going to be built with the minimal durability and quality needed to last just until the battery expires. Personally, I would prefer a plug in version with no batteries or battery as a back up to plug in. I have seen chiropractors with some but never seen one for the public. They are all battery-only. Anyone find otherwise?
There are multiple that have replacement batteries, but that said, I think it will take 5+ years before it won’t hold a charge for a single massage session in my opinion. I’ve had one now for 2+ years and have not noticed any difference at all. Also the first one I got had a cord and I absolutely hated it. You always had to be a few feet from the wall. As always, it depends on how you use it and what you want out of it. That’s why I try to provide information on all products and let you decide. 👍 Hope that helped
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Thanks for your perspective. I have searched quite a bit for corded plug in massage guns with no results and then for ones with replaceable batteries. Only one of the latter I have found - the Recoverfun, has a very overpriced replaceable battery with about the capacity of a cell phone. If you know other corded guns or replaceable battery guns I would love to hear of them. Another reviewer I exchanged with here had never heard of either. A fre leads would be much appreciated!
I trying to get a massage gun but am down to M9 Pro , the C2 Mini Bob and Brad massage gun, the sportneer massge gun, Recoverfun massage gun , and Bob and Brad Q2 Mini massage gun. HELP!
Ha! You have some solid choices in there. My top 2 are the Sportneer and B&B Q2. Here’s my updated video comparing all the data side-by-side. Hopefully that helps you with the decision 👍 Best Massage Guns Tested - Theragun, Hypervolt, Bob & Brad, Kraftgun th-cam.com/video/tMUO5Y4AyYA/w-d-xo.html
Hi. Great review as always. NoCry’s not on the list though you’d reviewed it a while ago (and we exchanged messages on it last week). Was literally about to order when I thought I’d check your channel again and saw this vid. Still of the same view that it’s one of the better ones on stall force?
It's in every graph still. I still recommend and is in my top 5 still. It just depends what features you want. I would say with eyes closed the Bob & Brad massage gun is on-par with the NoCry. That's why I have migrated to such a small massage gun. It depends on the features you want though.
Those are my two favorites I always end up carrying. If you want to spend under $100 then go Medcursor, otherwise I’d personally recommend the Bob and Brad because it’s a little stronger and a touch smaller even 👍 Hope that helps
Help!! Bob&Brad versus the Sportneer - I’ve got them both in my cart! Same exact price w/discounts. Using for back mostly sometimes quads and hip. Not a gym rat but 49 yr old weekend warrior. Don’t mind noise or portability, just want to relief.
If it’s never going to leave the house you may want to go with Sportneer. It’s a little stronger and that will be great for those deeper quads and hips 👍 Happy recovery!
I haven’t officially tried that one, but have used one very similar. See my video on the BeFit. It’ll give you an idea on it. It was my 3rd video I made on this channel: th-cam.com/video/vMSiqsHxpmM/w-d-xo.html
such a great introduction to massage guns, thanks. it is a pity bob and brad does not ship to Australia. if you could consider in your reviews suggestion for the overseas (outside USA) use and also 120/220 v for the use overseas that would be awesome.
What is your top 2 best massage gun from amazon. I am trying to figure it out. I have the no cry on my cart but then you said Bob and Brad is good too. which one of these 2. I want something strong and last longer
They are both strong. The main differences as I mentioned are noise, cost, and portability. I personally carry the B&B because of the size. It's still very strong, especially for the size! It's deceiving, but with the bullet on it you really feel it dig in. You can see my full review on that one here: th-cam.com/video/DzJH_Rnbslg/w-d-xo.html
@@lmagalogo83 shoot! that sucks! are they replacing it for free i'm assuming? also, thanks for letting me know. i always want to know if products don't work for people so I can factor that into my reviews, so it's not just my experience and have a better idea if it's a common problem. thanks!
@@BeforeYouBuyReview i haven't heard back so I just returned today and they refunded me. So I'll go get another one. Any recommendations. I hated that it stop after every 10 mins. I prefer a gun massage and I can turn off on my own not automatically. That brad massage it die completely ill say after 45 minutes of massage even with full battery
@@BeforeYouBuyReview in terms of power is the Q2 comparable to the C2? Also I love how quiet the sportner is but only have the money for one gun and the smaller the better as I can dash one into my bag for use after work
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Ohh okay, the sizing difference between them really threw me off! I'll deffo go for the Q2 then as it fits all my needs and use case! I'll be sure to use your link + let you know how it is
I think you’ll love it! It’s a huge benefit when you can use it anywhere because it’s so quiet in my opinion. Thanks for the support! Glad the videos helped! 👍
Hey Scott, could use your advice for final buy decision. D9 versus B&B - want something I can use all over but also for the top of my neck when I get stress/riding headaches. Bought you a coffee btw! Thx so much do doing these vids and answering all our questions. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the support! ☕️ this is a hard decision. The Bob and Brad would be lighter and may be easier to use long-term if you keep holding it over your head. The Sportneer has lower speeds and less stuff for us on lower speeds as well if that would be beneficial to your neck massage. I personally carry around the Bob and Brad because it’s smaller and little lighter in my backpack. You honestly can’t go wrong either way, but those are the things I would think about for your final decision. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions I’m happy to help make sure you get the right one.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thx Scott. I intent to use a lot on my back as well. Would the longer handle and form factor of the D9 make it any easier to get my back or would the Bob and Brad be better for the back simply bc it’s smaller and lighter? Thx again!
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Hi Scott, I think in your 1st reply on this thread you meant to say the Sportneer has lower speeds and less force for use on lower speeds (versus "less stuff for us on lower speeds"? Just want to be sure I interpret that correctly! I see it goes down to 1300 RPM versus 2k on the Bob & Brad so that would make for a lighter less forceful massage when needed correct? Thinking that could be better on the neck for the stress headaches but could crank it up for deeper massage of larger muscles. Thx!
Interesting. It’s correct. I’ve never seen it over $100. It must be due to demand currently. If looking for one under $100, check out my video on the Bob and Brad Q2 Mini! It’s insane! th-cam.com/video/hvQQRYcNc98/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for such great and honest reviews, helped me decide on Brad & Bob as my device. Would you happen to have a new coupon code? For some reason these are not working.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview LOL, you should go on their sales team. I was able to get another coupon code from their website: PTfamous10 so it evens out for me. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Hi Scott, I've been watching a lot of your videos lately as I am looking to buy a massage gun. First, I want to say thank you for your amazing content! It has been so helpful to narrow down the list and seeing the guns in action is much more helpful than reading the "specs" online. I was wondering if you have any links for UK buyers. I'd love to use your code so you can get a little kickback after how much you helped me. Currently looking to get the Sportneer and if not possible, then the medcursor mini
Wow! Thanks so much! I'm really glad it's helped! I'm not positive my links will work there. If you want you could by me a coffee here though: www.buymeacoffee.com/beforeyoubuy Thanks a million! I really am glad it has helped you! Those are some great choices of massage guns!
Have you tried the sharper image deep tissue massager pro? It seems to be a affordable option for around $100. Curious as to how it compares to the higher priced options. Costco has them for $99.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview i saw the video, and you said one of the main reasons you don't recommend that one was the stall force. I happened to have bought the sharper image one and tried it out. I'm not sure about the travel distance, but I feel that it has quite a bit of power and it seems to have a pretty high stall force and is fairly quiet. If you get a chance I'd love to hear your review on it. Thanks for the quick response and the honest reviews, keep it up!
@@BeforeYouBuyReview no problem! I haven't really used any massage guns before so I don't know how it compares to others but I like what I got so far. I had originally bought it as a present for my dad and decided to try it out because I was curious. Ended up getting myself one because it was convenient from Costco for $99 where if I wasn't happy with it I could return it. But so far I'm happy with it. But I don't know how it compares to others around the same price.
I remove Bot comments. B&B have a huge TH-cam channel. It’s also the massage gun I personally carry (Q2). Here’s my recent video on it: th-cam.com/video/NtQhnwzmYUU/w-d-xo.html
I have all of them at my disposal, but the one I carry with me is the Bob & Brad Q2 usually (smaller one) but sometimes the C2 (one mentioned in this video). They are so small yet powerful. Here’s a link to my review on their smaller one th-cam.com/video/RGjDxfxVpS0/w-d-xo.html
For a review that states 30+ reviewed I wished all data had been included in the video from all massage guns. Otherwise just call it a 10 massage gun review.
I hear ya. That would have been great to include. I did do that for 13+ in my latest video: Best Massage Guns Tested - Theragun, Hypervolt, Bob & Brad, Kraftgun th-cam.com/video/tMUO5Y4AyYA/w-d-xo.html
I’d like to. It is on my list, but I have a lot of massage guns being sent to me to review. I wish I could afford to go out an buy all the major brands. I’ve already spent a lot on massage guns this year so probably won’t happen until next year. It’s hard telling on Black Friday deals. What made you sold on that massage gun?
@@BeforeYouBuyReview id prefer something quiet because I wouldnt want to disturb anyone around me cause id be using it often. I'm a mma fighter so I'm sore pretty much all the time. I'd do something like the timtam or theragun pro but both are way over what I'm willing to pay and I just got an injury so those might also be to rough on me right now. Plus i see how the therguns are pretty loud might disturb people around me.ive considered the jawku muscle blaster 2 but it seems to be a little louder than the hypervolt plus and the handle of it just seemed a little weird to me personally. But i appreciate your reviews. Ive been watching them oftenly to help consider different massage guns
Oh nice! Looks like you’ve done some research! Great job. Check out the Bob & Brad and the Sportneer Elite to see if either of those would be a good fit for you. The B&B is the one I personally carry everyday, but it’s gotta fit your needs
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thank you for your reply! I have another question. Out of all the massage guns you have would you say that the massage gun heads are mostly interchangeable on each gun from brand to brand? Like would I be able to buy just the heated head off Amazon and put it on a different brand gun? After doing some research I've found the stall force is reviewed to be low on this gun with an amplitude of only 12mm. I would like the heated head but on a better massage gun with higher stall force and 16mm amplitude. Is this possible in your opinion?
@@shaunamcquinn619 Generally yes, but not always. In fact, I'm not positive of a 16mm massage gun that has a standard head. Generally they look a little different. Have you used a massage gun with 12mm vs 16mm amplitude?
Love your reviews btw! Its rare to find honest reviews nowadays. I’m surprised that you didn’t have the lifepro Pulse Fx in this vid.Which one of the guns is the most durable? I want to buy one but not have it break in just a few months or in a year. Thanks!
Thanks! That really means a lot. I have a full review of that massage gun. It’s not in my top here because it feels a little cheap (especially when you move the head) and it’s loud! Still a great massage gun overall in function though

☕ Literally buy me a coffee if this video helped! Thanks so much!!
buymeacoff.ee/beforeyoubuy
Did some research on these before buying the Bob and Brad. Heard this was a really good product for the money and I would definitely have to agree! Easy to use, 5 adjustable levels, interchangeable heads, very quiet, comes in a nice case. Be aware you do have 7 days to sign up for the 1 year warranty but its an email that takes literally 2 minutes. I have no complaints about this product and would highly recommend purchasing.
Totally agree! Still my favorite massage gun!
Bob and Brad Mini Massager is quite impressive. It’s quiet, lightweight, and strong for 5 settings. I use the lowest setting to remove my muscle aches and knots. My skin became itchy upon use in the beginning, and customer service says it’s normal to itch at first due to the speed intensity, but it goes away after a while. The itch has lessen but the removal of muscle aches and pain relief outweighs more.It’s easy to use. Press and hold the button to turn on and off. Battery life appears to be long as I haven’t charged it since I received it 3 weeks ago.It comes with a simple bag with all the attachments, instructions, and USB cable cord.I am happy with the product. Thank you Bob and Brad.
Totally agree! Great insight here!
After researching many massage guns and reading online reviews, I decided to purchase the Bob and Brad. So glad I did. It is a quality piece of equipment. With 5 different heads, there is one for every use. The heads slip on easily, the gun is quiet and smooth, and so far the battery life has been fantastic. Comes in a very convenient zipper case-good for travel. If you are in the market for a massage gun at a reasonable price, you won't be disappointed in this one.
Yes. It’s seriously that good. Glad you like it too!
Which model did you get? How are you liking it?
I did a ton of research on massage guns and finally landed on the Bob and Brad model. I'm very happy with it and it is just as good if not better than my brother's theragun and my friend's hypervolt which cost 3x what I paid.
Glad you saved the money and got a solid product!!
I think I've watched several hours of your videos now trying to pick through the billion on amazon😂 Being from Canada makes it difficult, but Bob & Brad is the one I finally settled on! Thanks for all the info, you provide an awesome service!
Ha! So many out there. Glad my videos helped you decide which one is right for you
The Bob and Brad massage gun is wonderful to use on sore muscles after a workout. It’s nice not have a handheld massager that doesn’t require another person for use. It’s not bulky and comes with a great traveling case. Then interchangeable heads are easy to switch out. The battery life is long so I have no issue with that. I love Bob and Brad’s information and this product has been all that it claimed to be and more. My husband and I highly recommend it.
Seriously! I love it for warmup and recovery!!
My Bob & Brad C2 Mini massager died after 3 months. I'm calling Monday for an RMA. In the meantime, I ordered the RecoverFun Plus and M9 Pro. They're on their way...
I did a TON of research before deciding on this unit. I watched multiple TH-cam reviews, read specs, etc. This doesn't have the trendy name of some other brands, but it's durable, powerful, quiet, comfortable to use (grip/weight/ergos), and for the price it can't be beat.
It really is incredible, as you mentioned, for the price especially!
This is the first kind of massage gun I’ve ever purchased and I am very pleased with the Bob & Bad! I did a little research before I made my choice and I am happy with the power and weight of this thing. It really pounds out the stiff tight muscles in my neck and back. Easy Xmas presents for my two sisters-in-law. COVID-19 means no massage parlor visits and this has been a great alternative to alleviate my stiffness.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!! 👍
I love Bob and Brad massage gun as it provides a powerful force for a deep massage. The weight of the gun is perfect and the build is very solid. The battery life is also very good on this gun compare to others.
Totally agree. It’s pretty incredible and still my favorite all around
@@BeforeYouBuyReview You mean the $129 Full Size ( correct? )

Full Review: th-cam.com/video/hvQQRYcNc98/w-d-xo.html and have many other videos comparing it.
I've always wanted to get a massage gun but all the most popular brands are incredibly expensive and I've heard they stop working after a few months. After having knee surgery I finally decided it'd be worth it to get a massage gun to aid with my recovery. I had to do some research to find this gun but so far its been incredibly helpful. The Bob and Brad massage gun has a high stall force to get deep into tight muscles without stalling out and stoping working. This has been super helpful to loosen up my stubborn tight hip flexor. I am overall very pleased with this gun's performance, especially for the price.
Yes, it’s pretty incredible! I’m still blown away how much it helps my recovery but also warmups
Thank for posting this! My mom is a workout fiend and I was going mad looking for the right massage gun for Mother’s Day. This really helped!
Glad it helped!! 👍 I hope it made your decision easier
The build quality on b&b massage gun is excellent for the price, especially when compared to higher cost massagers like the Theragun. Glad I made the purchase.
Glad to hear my recommendation didn’t fail you! I totally agree
I bought a used homedics massage chair flap for close to 10 bucks and enjoyed every second of it (that one was quite aggressive compared to this one, this gun is much more efficient however), and seeing that that it broke down on me after my first few uses, I was hoping to get a massage gun. They were quite expensive at the time that happened and bob and brad delivered a fantastic product that looks 10 times better than most I've seen. No way I'd carry around a massage chair so a massage gun is always on the list as far as fitness goes so this is the perfect product for anyone really.I had great lower back pain throughout the year of 2020 and this gun just blasted it away swiftly. A lack of movement is harmful to anyone yet this specific gun is a great tool overall. I love the case it came with for sure.
Glad to hear you liked it as much as me
seriously appreciate all the time and effort you've generously shared for this great information, thanks man!
You bet. I’m glad it helped. That made my day. Thanks for taking time to reply
The wife wanted a massage gun so I started researching. Obviously there are lots out there with the most mainstream products coming from well known brands at premium prices. Lots of watching videos and reviews later led to me landing on the Bob & Brad massage gun. It’s worth noting one video on TH-cam stacks this product against 29 other guns and it holds its weight. First of all, it’s very quiet in comparison to the Theragun which could be considered top tier. I also feel like the size makes it easier to control and hold. One button design makes it easy to use. Even on the lowest setting it has really good power and excellent stall force. The tips are also quality. I can’t think of a single complaint so far. For the price, this gun is the one you should be getting + Bob & Brad are experts in the space.
For sure! All around incredible product! Glad you like it as much as me!
I was initially going to purchase theragun. I’m the type of person that researches, reads reviews, and watch videos for the products that I purchase. I took the leap and purchased the bob and brad. I’m glad I did. Compact and powerful.
Smart move. It’s crazy what products are out there when you cut through the high marketing dollars
Our massage therapist introduced us to Hypervolt massage gun. She paid over $300 for hers. I did some research. I do already follow Bob &Brad so it's a no brainer that I considered their product. This massage gun is awesome. Small, light, compact. My massage therapist likes it better than hers. A+. My husband told our therapist, "Hey, I might not need you anymore!" Highly recommend (and regular massage therapy!)
Awesome to hear! Totally agree it’s still my favorite
Thank you so much you explain so well for information 👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹😘😘
Glad it was helpful
Hi, I am a competitive tennis player and would like to get one to relief the muscle especially during the tournament. Mainly to relax the muscle soreness, recovery and prevent cramping issue. Which one would you actually recommend. Maybe best to meet the goals for different price range?😊
I personally carry around the B&B Q2 in my backpack for my ninja competitions for the exact same issue. You don’t really know when your run is going to be and it helps me warm up before my event as well. I love the small and portability of it as well hardly adding any weight or bulk to your bag.
Here’s the full review:
th-cam.com/video/RGjDxfxVpS0/w-d-xo.html
I hope your season goes well though assuming you are in off season now?
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thank you for the reply! And yes just finish the last tournament of the year last weekend and it is off-season now. Good luck for your competitons too 💪😊
Thanks! 👍💪
I'm torn between the Bob and Brad C2 and the Opove M3 Pro Max. I saw that the Opove delivers 15mm amplitute, whereas the Bob and Brad is only 8mm. I'm 5' 11'' and weigh around 140 lbs. Would my muscles need that extra 7mm or is the Bob and Brad powerful enough for me?
I’m 5’7” and 155lbs and the Q2 is the one I personally use. You sound like you’re a lean person so I don’t think you need the extra amplitude in my opinion
sportneer vs bob and brad? which one has the better stall force? i am not interested in the size/ weight. i like that the sportneer is quiet and has the metal to use with muscle rubs and wipe clean. but i like the cushion head of bob and brad is forgiving for newbies/ accidental going over bony prominences. is the stall force between the two similar/ negligible difference? also is the noise level also similar? what about durability of heads long term - does the plastic heads appear to damage with wear and tear over time? i intend to use it on others as well as myself but i can always get assistance for hard to reach areas eg my back so that is not an issue. it's down to $17 difference between the two after coupon use ( b&b $17 cheaper), which would be the better choice?
It’s a tough call for sure. If size is no issue maybe the Sportneer as it fits some of your other requests. Just be careful around the bones at first and you’ll get used to it pretty quick. The Bob and Brad does have a stronger stuff for us on lower speeds and about the same stuff force and higher speeds
Your channel is great, I really hope it gets much bigger
Thanks so much! That really means a lot! Thanks for helping share it! 👍
really nice vibe you got man, much credibility
Which one would you recommend the Sportneer or Bob and Brad? Seems the Sportneer rates better but it sounds like you may use Bob and Brad more.
Yeah, I love them both. I personally use the B&B due to size mostly. It is a little stronger on lower speeds, but that’s not usually a need. You honestly can’t go wrong with either
Im contemplating between the Sportneer Elite D9 and Bob and Brad C2. Which one do you think has more power/mm depth? The Amazon product page of B&B advertises a stall force of 35lbs while the Sportneer advertises a stall force of 18.7 pounds. Personally, I'm looking for a good deep tissue massage and something that won't stall out. Battery life and size/weight doesn't really matter to me. Just want something strong that won't stall out. Thanks in advance!!
I’d probably go with the Sportneer. It’s stronger than the B&B. I prefer the size of B&B myself. I have a coupon code for the Sportneer in the description that saves you some $$ on it. I do get a little kickback
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Ended up just getting the Sportneer and used your code! Thanks for replying quick and great vid! Enjoy that coffee!
Great choice! Thanks for the support ☕️
If I don’t care about size but am looking for something comparable to the hypervolt (in terms of stall force/power/speed) should I go with medcursor, sportneer or bob and brad? Thank you so much for this vid!
Maybe the Sportneer due to the heads it comes with and metal build. It’s a little weaker on the lower speeds, but also is insanely quiet at the speeds which is nice for lighter massage. It also provides a good amount of power on higher levels
Hello, neither of the promotional codes for the Bob & Brad Massage Gun are working , is it still valid? thanks
🤦♂️ I’m sorry. Not sure what’s going on
Excellent review! Your channel deserves a lot more attention. Keep up the great work! 👍
Cool info! I wasn't aware of most of these things while shopping for massage guns. This was really helpful!
I saw you Branch out to other stuff, logically. But it's difficult to find something people care enough about and also don't crash into other reviewers.
Activity trackers especially with sleep (even though they are mainly too inaccurate) is something that seems to attract people their attention.
Glad to hear it helped! Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
I'm hoping to buy one today, do you recommend the Medcursor Mini, Sportneer, or Bob and Brad the most? I'm not really concerned about portability, mostly power and noise (as long as you think the amplitude is sufficient :) ). Also, is there much difference using the air cushioned head vs the ball or fork attachments near bones or tender muscles?
You may want to go with the Sportneer. It is quieter on lower speeds and since you don’t care about portability it’s a great buy. Your cushion is nice if you don’t know where the bones are or are experimenting early on. Once you get the hang of where you need to massage, it’s not really needed. Are usually just put my finger on the bone I don’t want to hit so that way I don’t accidentally hit it
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Thanks a lot! Personally I would have gone with your suggestion, but my wife wanted the lighter of the two (Bob and Brad) once I got a chance to ask her lol. I sent you some coffee as thanks :)
is the bob and brad c2 massage gun is really enough strong to massage ur back?
I personally use it every day. If you want something stronger you may want a Sportneer Ellie, Ekrin V37S or Theragun. Make sure you watch videos on those to see if they’re a good fit for you though.
Cheers for the summation. You recommended three at the end, and the B&B C2 was your favourite (before the Q2). Out of interest, why wasn't the medcursor mini or the Sportneer your favourite since they seem to have better numbers than the B&B. Just the size/form factor? Thanks.
Great questions. Mostly form factor. I’ve actually just updated this video. I go through a very detailed tests and comparisons
th-cam.com/video/tMUO5Y4AyYA/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to see the list of the other ones tested besides the ones shown in your graphs: Bob & Brad, Hypervolt, Medcursor Mini, NoCry, Softerspot S2, Sportneer D9, Theragun Prime?
I realized I never went back and added those. I’ll do that soon! Thanks!
I did quite a bit of research on which massage gun to get because there are so many different ones, and a lot of them are pretty much the same guns just renamed and re packaged. I came a tossed the Bob and Brad massage gun and read good things about it. It may not have some flashy name but it is definitely premium feeling and I like how portable and compact it is. It’s also not 500$ I’m happy with the purchase
It’s crazy this massage gun is close to $100! How is that possible?!
great review video! I'm curious though, have you tested out the Opove M3 Pro Max?
Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful. I haven’t tried that one
Hi,
It seem from the smaller sized you like the Bob and Brad C2.
Have you tried their Q2 pocket sized?
I recently got another brand from Costco but weight 4.2 Lbs and feel big and heavy.
So looking to replace it with something smaller lighter.
Thanks
Oof! That’s heavy! In fact that Q2 video is currently uploading/processing 👍👍
Actually doing more research I narrowed down to the Medicursor or the sportneer. Which would you recommend for an athlete. I need the most powerful
Nice job on the research! Which Medcursor? I would recommend the Mini our of the Medcursors. I really like the Sportneer but it’s also a little bigger
Hi, your reviews are helpful, you’ve been doing a fantastic job with massage guns. Would be nice to have a review on Vybe Massage Guns, I have tested it and have great amplitude and impressive stall force for the price. What’s your opinion of Vybe against B&B or Sportneer?
Thanks in advance
Thanks so much! I put a lot of time into the video so I’m glad they are helpful. I have only used an older Vybe Massage Gun when they were more like jigsaws an insanely loud. I have not had an opportunity to use one of the newer ones
Hey! thanks for the video! What do you think about selling the a massager without a way of using it while connected to the power supply? I'd like to buy the Theragun Pro but the fact that knowing that in the future eventually the battery will die, it makes me doubt about purchasing it, because they can decide to stop selling you a battery, and we would have to buy a newer model of it. Thoughts?
Yes, I hear you. The right to repair issue will always be ongoing. I haven’t had any battery issues on my massage guns for what it’s worth.
If I was looking for power speed and noise would it be better to buy the no cry or bob and brad massage gun ?
I would honestly go with the Bob & Brad. They are about the same in those categories but the B&B is more portable
Great advice thanks 👍is the Renpho mini same as Rick and bobs just rebranded? What happened to the best gun under 100 the recover fun ? And do you not use the Renpho adjustable handle gun for 99 dollars that you loved 🤔👍☘️
Bob & Brad. I’m not 100% sure but they do look similar. What do you mean what happened?
There are too many options! Looking at Bob and Brad and medcursor mini right now. Around the same price.
Tons of options! Crazy, right? Those are some great options! I have more in depth reviews of both of interested. Hope they help!
Do you have the trigger point impact massage gun? I just had this used on me, and was SUPER impressed. In the past, I've been kinda anti-massage gun cause I've really not liked the theragun or hypervolt. Do want to be able to share this with my super muscular husband, too. Had no idea there were so many options!
I have not had a chance to use that Massage Gun. I do have one of their rollers and like their quality for that.
watching this while using the medcursor massage gun bought through your link! I decided to go with the medcursor because of the variety in heads (especially the soft one because I have some sensitive forearm issues) and I absolutely love it! value for the ~ 130$ is amazing! would buy it again any day and it comes with a one year guarantee (if that really works out🤷🏽♂️).
Awesome! Yes, I still love the Medcursors for sure! Glad you like it as much as me. 👍👍
Hey Scott...If you had to choose between MedCursor v2 and the MedCursor Mini, which would you choose?
I personally prefer the Medcursor Mini. Most specs they’re almost identical on but I like the size of the smaller one
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Thanks :)
I have severe leg pain. My doctor says my hamstring is squeezing the sciatic nerves. Which massager gun would you recommend. I am so bad, I walk with a walker or stick.
Oof!! Sorry! That’s gotta be frustrating. Is it because the hamstring is tight? I want to make sure they massage gun would even work for your issue. Massage Gun can help relax your muscle but depending on why it’s pushing on it, then it may not help. Is it an alignment issue? I honestly don’t know too much about sciatica outside of the basics. Overall I’ve been liking the Mebak 3 and Bob and Brad Q2 personally.
th-cam.com/video/vlX700YPUKs/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/NtQhnwzmYUU/w-d-xo.html
@@BeforeYouBuyReview I guess the hamstring is tight. Not sure. But , in therapy they massage my leg. Now therapy is over, I was looking on Amazon to buy a gun massager but there are so many. I need the pain to go away or lessen. I need a powerful massager to get deep in my muscle.
Ok nice! If massage helps it might work. Check out the reviews on the ones I sent about to see if those would help
Is it correct that the Bob & Brad Q2 is your best recommendation now? Or is there any reason the prefer the C2 or any other instead?
I personally use the Q2 the most. I have a lot of videos explaining why I chose over C2. Basically same power but smaller, cheaper, quieter. If you want an even larger stronger one then I recommend the Sportneer Elite D9. Make sure to watch my videos on it to see if it’s when you want and it’s a good fit for you. I also have a coupon code if you do like it. Those are my two top recommendations that both have incredible value and are great Massage Guns
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thanks for the quick response! I saw the other videos as well and just ordered the Q2. From my experience with foam roalling to much force is not necessarily the best thing. Unfortunately the coupon code does not seem to work in Germany but anyway your videos have helped a lot and saved me from buying one of the "top rated" products on Amazon
I cant tell which of the 30+ is the one that does the job! The theragun sounds promising. But can you recomend the best ones that do the job? I only care about that nothing else like noise, looks etc. I want one that doesnt stop when I press, and massages deep. But do you know if the theragun is durable and lasts if I use it every day? And the problem is in my lower back, I have to be able to reach there on my own with the massager.
Strongest thing possible is a jig saw with an attachment but I don’t think you’ll like it. Theragun is pretty strong. I’d probably recommend the Sportneer. I think I have it linked in description on this video
What's your thoughts on the Ekrin B37s
It’s one of my top ones because it’s so strong and has some unique features. Check out my recent comparison where I started using my testing to collect data Head to Head
Best Massage Guns Tested - Theragun, Hypervolt, Bob & Brad, Kraftgun
th-cam.com/video/tMUO5Y4AyYA/w-d-xo.html
what do you recommend the xq pro or the t2 bob and brad massage guns
I want the bob and brad but in Canada it’s way to much money, it’s over $250 cad 😓 I was thinking the recover fun mini since it’s only about $110 cad shipped to my door do you think it’s still worth it or would you recommend the medcursor mini? Which is even cheaper around $80-90
Yeah not worth that cost! Get the Medcursor!
Hi,
First of all thank you for the video. Your content is awesome.
I was wondering if you have had the chance to use the RENPHO R4 and if yes what your thoughts are on it?
Thanks again
Awesome! Thanks! I’m glad you like the videos. I haven’t had a chance to try that one yet. Sorry!
Which model do you think is today the best? I understand that the stall force (the force that you need to stop the movement) and the amplitude of movement are the 2 most important factors... For example the theragun has 16mm of excursion amplitude and a very hight stall force...
I'll answer this one too ;-) Nice! You've done your homework! Good job! Here's what I will say. The one I personally carry is the Bob & Brad. I personally carry it with me to the gym for warmup etc, so I prefer the smaller size. I used the Theragun Elite last night actually. It definitely hits hard, and sometimes too hard it seems when you just want a lighter massage. Everyone is different though. After you narrow it down to the good massage guns, it kind of comes down to personal preference.
What do you think about exogun?
Do you think it really has 16 mm stroke length?
And could you give me some advice for massage gun between 80 and 120$?
I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to check it out.
Regarding massage guns in that price, check out the Medcursors. They are incredible values. Here’s a video where I compared 3 different ones in that price range
th-cam.com/video/kCNs-3B09I4/w-d-xo.html
@@BeforeYouBuyReview please let me know what do you think about that.
The problem with medcursor is that on Amazon italy they are not available
Hi there, buddy. Thanks for all of your reviews. I've watched many of them, and now I'm really confused. For my purposes, I don't need a daily carry; I want to use the massage gun only at home -- and I live alone, so the volume won't be bothering anyone else. I'm an amateur athlete, but I mostly need the massage gun to work out some serious, longstanding trigger points, including some hard-to-reach ones on my upper back. I've used foam rollers and lacrosse balls and all of that stuff, and I'm looking for a shortcut. In summary, can you recommend the best massage gun for someone who needs a substantial amount of force, who doesn't mind spending a fair amount of change, and who doesn't need a unit that is portable or small or particularly quiet? One last thing: stall force is great, but it would be more convenient to have the unit do the work instead of my needing to mash the thing into me with heavy pressure.
Sounds like the Theragun could be a good fit. Every massage gun you’re going to have to apply more pressure to dig in deep though. It may be hard to reach back spots. Try using a couch to help apply pressure for instance.
What is the difference in stall force between Bob and Brad and Medcursor Mini? I’m stuck between the two. Thanks!
The B&B is stronger, especially on lower gears and a little smaller.
Hey Brother. So you would go Bob and Brad over the Sportneer? Been torn between these two. I like the metal build and the quietness of the Sportneer, but I like the weight and size of the B&B. Thanks!
You nailed it. It’s a hard one. I carry the B&B in my bag and like that one because of size and strength. It’s not quite as quiet but quiet enough for my needs. You’ll have to decide which one you value you more though since they are both similar in price.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Aloha and mahalo brother! Now I just have to figure it out and decide if I want to wait just a few more days to see if any Black Friday deals come up on either of those.
Ha! Yeah. I personally haven’t heard of anything yet, but I hear ya!
Hey! Great video! Hoping I can review some feedback before I make a purchase. I’m really liking your view on the B&B but I think I’m needing more amplitude (I want it to hurt)!! Price is not an issue. Is the amplitude from the B&B (8mm) VS the sportneer (12mm) that much of a difference? I want the strongest most powerful gun for my back knots
Thanks! the power is broken into speed, amplitude and stall force. I personally feel the stall force on the B&B is plenty sufficient. You may want to check out the Ekrin B37S due to stall force and more amplitude. th-cam.com/video/BH843PM-g10/w-d-xo.html
Maybe the Theragun too but I rarely recommend because it’s so loud and expensive. If you don’t care about those it may be an option as well
This is SO helpful! My #1 priority is stall force. What would you recommend? Do you know what is the stall force of the Bob and Brad? Love that size!
I asked to find the final spec this morning. I can tell you it’s strong. Especially for the size it’s incredibly strong.
I’m glad it helped! 👍👍
@@BeforeYouBuyReview just bought you a couple coffees! Really appreciate the genuine reviews, as the overwhelming amount of information these days can be well .... overwhelming. I bought the Bob and Brad Gun. Looking forward to using it for my weight training recovery and warm ups!
Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Glad it helped. That’s exactly why I started this review channel. I always love researching stuff and watching reviews. Thought I would start giving back with honest reviews myself. Thanks again for the support
The promotion codes are working! What do I do now? For B&B
Sorry. I think they stopped it for Black Friday
Thank you, great reviews, I’ve had my physio recommendhave the Kingsfield Ultra gun mini, have you tried this one?
I have not but I’ve used one that looks very similar. It did not have a lot of power, but that doesn’t mean it’s the same exactly
Thanks man this was really helpful, wow u have 30 and I can’t even get 1😁
Thanks! I’m glad it helped!! 😂 Let’s just say you aren’t the first one to ask haha
I’m in the process of rehabilitating a herniated disc in my L4. I’m experiencing numbness and extreme pain down my right side through my thigh down to my shin. I need something to massage the deep tissue in my thigh and hip area to allow it to relax where I can get some relief from that. There’s so many to choose from I don’t know that I need the deep deep tissue massage at this point. I really can’tAfford to spend $600 on a gun. I appreciate all your information..
I am trying to find the best bang for the lowest buck LOL
If you want a stronger one then it's the Sportneer Elite D9 otherwise you'll want the Bob & Brad Q2 in my opinion.
See this video on stall force: th-cam.com/video/jQ7ppb5TacM/w-d-xo.html
The information that what I want, Thanks!
Glad it helped! 👍
Do you have a list of all 30 guns you reviewed so we know which ones you don't recommend? I am interested and have heard good things about the Achedaway and/or Achedaway Pro massage guns, and I'm wondering if you have tried either of these massage guns?
I was supposed to get one from them but they never followed through. Their massage gun looks a lot like the RecoverFun I’ve used. That doesn’t always mean it’s the same though.
I do plan on going back and listing them. I also might do a live stream where I’m going through the massage guns. It’d be pretty long though
Thanks for the info. I have come to find out that many of these guns have batteries that CANNOT be replaced by the user. In other words, once the battery wears out, it is a pistol shaped paper weight. I think the Recoverfun is one that does allow user replacement of battery. To my mind, any device that does not have a user replaceable battery is going to be built with the minimal durability and quality needed to last just until the battery expires. Personally, I would prefer a plug in version with no batteries or battery as a back up to plug in. I have seen chiropractors with some but never seen one for the public. They are all battery-only. Anyone find otherwise?
There are multiple that have replacement batteries, but that said, I think it will take 5+ years before it won’t hold a charge for a single massage session in my opinion. I’ve had one now for 2+ years and have not noticed any difference at all. Also the first one I got had a cord and I absolutely hated it. You always had to be a few feet from the wall. As always, it depends on how you use it and what you want out of it. That’s why I try to provide information on all products and let you decide. 👍 Hope that helped
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Thanks for your perspective. I have searched quite a bit for corded plug in massage guns with no results and then for ones with replaceable batteries. Only one of the latter I have found - the Recoverfun, has a very overpriced replaceable battery with about the capacity of a cell phone. If you know other corded guns or replaceable battery guns I would love to hear of them. Another reviewer I exchanged with here had never heard of either. A fre leads would be much appreciated!
I trying to get a massage gun but am down to M9 Pro , the C2 Mini Bob and Brad massage gun, the sportneer massge gun, Recoverfun massage gun , and Bob and Brad Q2 Mini massage gun. HELP!
Ha! You have some solid choices in there. My top 2 are the Sportneer and B&B Q2. Here’s my updated video comparing all the data side-by-side. Hopefully that helps you with the decision 👍

Hi. Great review as always. NoCry’s not on the list though you’d reviewed it a while ago (and we exchanged messages on it last week). Was literally about to order when I thought I’d check your channel again and saw this vid. Still of the same view that it’s one of the better ones on stall force?
It's in every graph still. I still recommend and is in my top 5 still. It just depends what features you want. I would say with eyes closed the Bob & Brad massage gun is on-par with the NoCry. That's why I have migrated to such a small massage gun. It depends on the features you want though.
BeforeYouBuy Thanks for the feedback - professional, honest, and genuine every time!
Thanks! That really means a lot!
Both promo codes for Bob & Brad's gun are not working on Amazon.
I think they are working on it. 🤷♂️ Sorry. I wish I had more control over that
Hey man, price aside, which would you recommend of the Bob and Brad and the Medcursor Mini? I just want something small that will get the job done
Those are my two favorites I always end up carrying. If you want to spend under $100 then go Medcursor, otherwise I’d personally recommend the Bob and Brad because it’s a little stronger and a touch smaller even 👍 Hope that helps
Help!! Bob&Brad versus the Sportneer - I’ve got them both in my cart! Same exact price w/discounts. Using for back mostly sometimes quads and hip. Not a gym rat but 49 yr old weekend warrior. Don’t mind noise or portability, just want to relief.
If it’s never going to leave the house you may want to go with Sportneer. It’s a little stronger and that will be great for those deeper quads and hips 👍 Happy recovery!
Do you have an opinion of hte Vybe Pro?
I haven’t officially tried that one, but have used one very similar. See my video on the BeFit. It’ll give you an idea on it. It was my 3rd video I made on this channel:
th-cam.com/video/vMSiqsHxpmM/w-d-xo.html
such a great introduction to massage guns, thanks. it is a pity bob and brad does not ship to Australia. if you could consider in your reviews suggestion for the overseas (outside USA) use and also 120/220 v for the use overseas that would be awesome.
I have one coming up actually. Also see this video:

@@1960bosman Thanks for the added info!
i am looking to buy one around 80-150 what should i get and can you drop a link with it
I actually have links in the description 👍. I’d personally go with the Bob & Brad massage gun
What is your top 2 best massage gun from amazon. I am trying to figure it out. I have the no cry on my cart but then you said Bob and Brad is good too. which one of these 2. I want something strong and last longer
They are both strong. The main differences as I mentioned are noise, cost, and portability. I personally carry the B&B because of the size. It's still very strong, especially for the size! It's deceiving, but with the bullet on it you really feel it dig in. You can see my full review on that one here: th-cam.com/video/DzJH_Rnbslg/w-d-xo.html
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thank you for the reply
@@BeforeYouBuyReview bought the bob and brad massage gun and die a week later. return it is. smdh
@@lmagalogo83 shoot! that sucks! are they replacing it for free i'm assuming? also, thanks for letting me know. i always want to know if products don't work for people so I can factor that into my reviews, so it's not just my experience and have a better idea if it's a common problem. thanks!
@@BeforeYouBuyReview i haven't heard back so I just returned today and they refunded me. So I'll go get another one. Any recommendations. I hated that it stop after every 10 mins. I prefer a gun massage and I can turn off on my own not automatically. That brad massage it die completely ill say after 45 minutes of massage even with full battery
Between the Q2 and the C2 which would you recommend for use?
I personally carry the Q2 every day. I mostly just use Q2 and sometimes Sportneer Elite D9 sometimes
@@BeforeYouBuyReview in terms of power is the Q2 comparable to the C2? Also I love how quiet the sportner is but only have the money for one gun and the smaller the better as I can dash one into my bag for use after work
They are literally identical. C2 is just a few mm deeper but stall force is the same so you can dig in with either. The Q2 is insanely quiet!
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Ohh okay, the sizing difference between them really threw me off! I'll deffo go for the Q2 then as it fits all my needs and use case! I'll be sure to use your link + let you know how it is
I think you’ll love it! It’s a huge benefit when you can use it anywhere because it’s so quiet in my opinion. Thanks for the support! Glad the videos helped! 👍
I got the 35 buck from eBay still work

@@yingjiezhang7944 I used "beforeyoubuy"
The one that you posted in this video
Hey Scott, could use your advice for final buy decision. D9 versus B&B - want something I can use all over but also for the top of my neck when I get stress/riding headaches. Bought you a coffee btw! Thx so much do doing these vids and answering all our questions. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the support! ☕️ this is a hard decision. The Bob and Brad would be lighter and may be easier to use long-term if you keep holding it over your head. The Sportneer has lower speeds and less stuff for us on lower speeds as well if that would be beneficial to your neck massage.
I personally carry around the Bob and Brad because it’s smaller and little lighter in my backpack. You honestly can’t go wrong either way, but those are the things I would think about for your final decision. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions I’m happy to help make sure you get the right one.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview thx Scott. I intent to use a lot on my back as well. Would the longer handle and form factor of the D9 make it any easier to get my back or would the Bob and Brad be better for the back simply bc it’s smaller and lighter? Thx again!
Yeah, possibly. Another thought is since it is heavier, sometimes that helps apply a little more weight as you’re trying to reach as well.
@@BeforeYouBuyReview Hi Scott, I think in your 1st reply on this thread you meant to say the Sportneer has lower speeds and less force for use on lower speeds (versus "less stuff for us on lower speeds"? Just want to be sure I interpret that correctly! I see it goes down to 1300 RPM versus 2k on the Bob & Brad so that would make for a lighter less forceful massage when needed correct? Thinking that could be better on the neck for the stress headaches but could crank it up for deeper massage of larger muscles. Thx!
Oh, sorry! Yes, I did mix those up! 👍
Didn't know you participated in American Ninja Warrior...
It was a blast. You can see my full course run in story about me on season 11, Tacoma city finals
The Medcursor Mini is pricing at $119 - not under $100 - on Amazon. Is this link wrong?
Interesting. It’s correct. I’ve never seen it over $100. It must be due to demand currently. If looking for one under $100, check out my video on the Bob and Brad Q2 Mini! It’s insane!

What do you think of the booster massage guns?
I haven’t tried that one so I can’t honestly say
Thank you for such great and honest reviews, helped me decide on Brad & Bob as my device. Would you happen to have a new coupon code? For some reason these are not working.
Thanks! Glad they are helping. Sorry, they are low on stock (my fault? 😂) so they aren’t honoring the coupon code anymore
@@BeforeYouBuyReview LOL, you should go on their sales team. I was able to get another coupon code from their website: PTfamous10 so it evens out for me. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Ha! Glad it helped and good work 👍
What is a good higher amp one to buy alongside the q2 that is around 100$
That’s a loaded question. What’s considered more amplitude? I think one of the cheapest best ones I can recommend would be the Sportneer
Hi Scott, I've been watching a lot of your videos lately as I am looking to buy a massage gun. First, I want to say thank you for your amazing content! It has been so helpful to narrow down the list and seeing the guns in action is much more helpful than reading the "specs" online. I was wondering if you have any links for UK buyers. I'd love to use your code so you can get a little kickback after how much you helped me. Currently looking to get the Sportneer and if not possible, then the medcursor mini
Wow! Thanks so much! I'm really glad it's helped! I'm not positive my links will work there. If you want you could by me a coffee here though: www.buymeacoffee.com/beforeyoubuy
Thanks a million! I really am glad it has helped you! Those are some great choices of massage guns!
Have you tried the sharper image deep tissue massager pro? It seems to be a affordable option for around $100. Curious as to how it compares to the higher priced options. Costco has them for $99.
I have not, however I just looked it up and it looks exactly like one I don’t recommend buying.
th-cam.com/video/4RKYERCUHCo/w-d-xo.html
@@BeforeYouBuyReview i saw the video, and you said one of the main reasons you don't recommend that one was the stall force. I happened to have bought the sharper image one and tried it out. I'm not sure about the travel distance, but I feel that it has quite a bit of power and it seems to have a pretty high stall force and is fairly quiet. If you get a chance I'd love to hear your review on it. Thanks for the quick response and the honest reviews, keep it up!
@@CaptnZNS I'll put it on the list! Thanks for letting me know!
@@BeforeYouBuyReview no problem! I haven't really used any massage guns before so I don't know how it compares to others but I like what I got so far. I had originally bought it as a present for my dad and decided to try it out because I was curious. Ended up getting myself one because it was convenient from Costco for $99 where if I wasn't happy with it I could return it. But so far I'm happy with it. But I don't know how it compares to others around the same price.
Bob and Brad must be really popular or there are a ton of bots in the comments 🤔
I remove Bot comments. B&B have a huge TH-cam channel. It’s also the massage gun I personally carry (Q2). Here’s my recent video on it:

Price/value aside, which massage gun do you think is the best?
I have all of them at my disposal, but the one I carry with me is the Bob & Brad Q2 usually (smaller one) but sometimes the C2 (one mentioned in this video). They are so small yet powerful. Here’s a link to my review on their smaller one

For a review that states 30+ reviewed I wished all data had been included in the video from all massage guns. Otherwise just call it a 10 massage gun review.

Will you be buying a reviewing the hypervolt go? And do you think the hypervolt will be having black Friday sale?
I’d like to. It is on my list, but I have a lot of massage guns being sent to me to review. I wish I could afford to go out an buy all the major brands. I’ve already spent a lot on massage guns this year so probably won’t happen until next year.
It’s hard telling on Black Friday deals. What made you sold on that massage gun?
@@BeforeYouBuyReview id prefer something quiet because I wouldnt want to disturb anyone around me cause id be using it often. I'm a mma fighter so I'm sore pretty much all the time. I'd do something like the timtam or theragun pro but both are way over what I'm willing to pay and I just got an injury so those might also be to rough on me right now. Plus i see how the therguns are pretty loud might disturb people around me.ive considered the jawku muscle blaster 2 but it seems to be a little louder than the hypervolt plus and the handle of it just seemed a little weird to me personally. But i appreciate your reviews. Ive been watching them oftenly to help consider different massage guns
Oh nice! Looks like you’ve done some research! Great job. Check out the Bob & Brad and the Sportneer Elite to see if either of those would be a good fit for you. The B&B is the one I personally carry everyday, but it’s gotta fit your needs

@@BeforeYouBuyReview thank you for your reply! I have another question. Out of all the massage guns you have would you say that the massage gun heads are mostly interchangeable on each gun from brand to brand? Like would I be able to buy just the heated head off Amazon and put it on a different brand gun? After doing some research I've found the stall force is reviewed to be low on this gun with an amplitude of only 12mm. I would like the heated head but on a better massage gun with higher stall force and 16mm amplitude. Is this possible in your opinion?
@@shaunamcquinn619 Generally yes, but not always. In fact, I'm not positive of a 16mm massage gun that has a standard head. Generally they look a little different. Have you used a massage gun with 12mm vs 16mm amplitude?
Love your reviews btw! Its rare to find honest reviews nowadays. I’m surprised that you didn’t have the lifepro Pulse Fx in this vid.Which one of the guns is the most durable? I want to buy one but not have it break in just a few months or in a year. Thanks!
Thanks! That really means a lot. I have a full review of that massage gun. It’s not in my top here because it feels a little cheap (especially when you move the head) and it’s loud! Still a great massage gun overall in function though
Every 3dB the loudness doubles, not every 10.
Every 3 dB is perceived as twice as loud?!? Wow
