Personally I don't think it does any more than playing. I mean why waste time building calouses off the guitar. For finger strength try this https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/legato-stamina/
I guess it does have a place when watching TV or on holiday without your guitar but that's about it. These marketing people are very good at convincing you that you need their product to become a great guitarist but I'm pretty sure Hendrix never used one -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Unless you're recovering from a physical injury, have an actual physical disability or are stranded for more that two weeks on a desert island - those things are all BS.

I'm an advocate of "taking a break" once in awhile.
There's no benefit to actual guitar playing from using a hand or finger squeezer for a few hours on a plane or the train or wherever. In fact, it's good to take a break. A lot of folks' carpal tunnel and tendonitis comes from over playing, over practicing and practicing incorrectly.
