Just a really cool gadget but I had to have one as the lad at work had one and it was mega addictive. It's used by sports people and musicians to strengthen their grip and forearms and as a fun thing to do when your drunk or bored...

But when I saw the video of the bloke getting the World Record with one I seriously nearly wet myself -

You have to see it to believe it!

Like I say - it started of as an exercise supplement but they added an RPM gauge on it and it ended up as a pub "beat your mates top score" kinda thing. You can really feel it working your arms after a couple of minutes though.

I like gadgets, so i like it

Ok, so its fixed again. I pulled the ripcord and it somehow wound round the inside - after 3/4 of an hour I fixed it and its back on form - though its frustrating not being able to break 10,000 yet...
