Most of those exercises, while useful in other ways, in no way increase strength or endurance in your hands and wrists. I've done some of them; my hands did not get any stronger from them.
It's not that I have extraordinarily weak hands. I don't; I regularly carry heavy shopping bags home and up the stairs (I have no car and live in an old apartment house without a lift). I just naturally have very, very slim wrists (like a child's) and usual exercising doesn't make them any thicker. I'm not going to do any intensive strength training, I'm far too lazy for this.
