MedGrade Article

The Bob and Brad C2 is a compact, highly portable massage gun that sits between a traditional mini massager and a full-size device. Weighing just 1.5 lbs, it is incredibly easy to maneuver and carry in a gym bag. Mechanically, it provides a shallow 8mm amplitude paired with a solid 40 lbs of stall force.

“If you’re thinking of saving money and getting a massage gun at a discount store or a cheaper version, don’t! This is worth every penny. Strong consistent speeds, all the attachments you could need and a LONG battery life.

We really like the Bob and Brad C2 Pro massage gun with heat and cold therapy. It's an easy to use mini massager that has provided my wife and I soothing relief when our muscles ache. It's very well built.

The Bob and Brad C2 is not trying to beat premium guns on power. It wins because it gives enough speed control, useful heads, and a friendly price for people who want a simple recovery tool.

The new attachment gives you lasting hot and cold therapy . How come? Well, this massage gun attachment has its own power source and is charged separately from the massage gun itself.

The performance ceiling is modest, at approximately 30 lbs of stall force and sub-9 mm amplitude, which limits effectiveness on large dense muscle groups.
