There are various hand exercisers available, but the simplest has already been suggested -- a tennis ball or racquetball. Simply squeeze it repeatedly.
As you start to do this, though, you'll soon see why you can't really "bulk up" your hands the way you can your biceps, quads or pecs -- the hands don't really have much muscle in them. They're mostly tendons and ligaments.
The actual muscles that you will develop are in your forearms -- the flexor medialis and extensor medialis, if I recall. To see what I mean, put your left hand around your right forearm about a third of the way from your elbow to your wrist, and then make a tight fist with your right hand. You'll feel the appropriate muscles contracting.
To a certain extent, any free-weight exercise (as opposed to a resistance machine like a Nautilus or Bowflex) will help you with hand strength because you actually have to lift and hold the weight, you don't simply push against the resistance. But lots of people use the tennis-ball method because it's inexpensive, portable, and effective.

I have a friend that worked on a farm as a child and he has huge hands. I guess manual labor does it to you. But if your hands are already formed, you prob cant change the structure of them now.
