Guide Review - Grabber Mycoal Hand Warmers

Grabber Mycoal hand warmers are a great comfort item for winter walking. If you are like me, your hands start off cold and can take 15 minutes or more to warm up on a cool day, let alone a truly cold day. With the Grabber hand warmers, you can start off with warm hands and keep them warm.

The Grabber Mycoal hand warmers come in a two-pack. I economized and just used one. Simply open the packet to air and you can carry the little sandbag-like warmer in your hand or in your pocket, or pop it into your mittens. I wear those cheap stretchy knit gloves, and this handwarmer was perfect for keeping my hands warm by carrying it in one palm and switching it every few minutes.

The hand warmer works with a simple, natural reaction with iron, charcoal, salt and water - basically, fast rusting of the iron. The heat is gentle and constant - they really do stay warm for 7 hours!

These are single-use items.
