It is pretty clear that the seller makes various models and is listing them in order to generate both buzz about his product and sell them.

Personally, if he wanted to sell me one, he'd link to a 30 second video showing how to use one. Since my left hand is not holding any weight from the neck, it seems as if holding a block might result in a hand position that you did not want to encourage by exercising even if the point is calluses.

Myself, I'll build up calluses the old fashioned way. By playing my guitar(s)! :lol:

Too funny :lol:

Here's a novel idea: play your actual guitar, build up calluses and improve your skills all at the same time!

I think the folks who say "play your guitar" are missing the target market.

I figure someone who actually wanted one of these things would use it at the office or while jogging or basically some place where they could multi-task with something else and couldn't play guitar. I was going to suggest it could be used while commuting but most people would use the hand for their phone...
