Product Description

The ultimate in engineering design work featuring the same user friendly features and incorporating an on board generator. By activating the gyro, a dynamism (motion) is created which will activate the LED lights located in the interior of the gyro. The faster the unit runs, the brighter the lights will be until the whole hand is engulfed in a bright glow. The Powerball also features a balanced rotor and removable top cap, which will allow insertion of the optional digital speed meter. By installing the speed meter, it allows the user to view the digital display which now has become a multi-functional unit, reaching speeds of over 13,000 rpm's. ... Read more

Piece of junk
Watched their video, tried many times to get it started - no success. Worst piece of junk I've ever wasted my money on.

Dynaflex wears out after use
I have had my dynaflex for 4 days now, i use it at work while sitting at my desk, was very pleased with it at first and it still works great, just doesnt work as smooth as the first day i bought it and continues to wear more and more. Because of the high RPMs and torque, the cheap materials used in its construction haven't held up to very well and wore out after just a couple hours of use. The smooth hum sound has been replaced with a loud rattling buzz. The ball still works great, I'm just not able to use at work anymore because of the noise. Great exercize though.

Better than expected! The lights glow really well.
After about 5 minutes I finally figured out how to get the Powerball to spin fast. Once I got it going the lights glowed very brightly and I was pleasantly surprised because I hadn't expected them to work so well. I bought the powerball because my forearms and hands are weak even though I exercise a lot.You can really feel the torque from the powerball. Playing with the ball definitely exercises the hand and forearm.

This POWER BALL rocks!
I first had the opportunity to use the powerball from my boyfriend whom is an avid golfer. But after *playing* with and being in awe by the lights alone, and the workout, I had to get one for myself!!! And I sit and work on my computer 8-10 hours a day fearing carpal tunnel syndrome, but this makes for a great tension breaker, it really does strengthen you arms, wrists, biceps, and triceps. It makes for a great conversation piece at the desk or amongst co-workers, plus you can challenge each other with the add-on speedometer (i'll probably end up getting that soon) You won't regret getting it, if you're a gadget freak, this is totally perfect, and I love that it requires NO BATTERIES!!!!

Fun...at a price.
I first heard about this device from Dr. C. in a dynamics class at UMR (I'm an ME student).The PowerBall seems to be well constructed, and it is fun to use.I knew from class how it operated, but it still took a few minutes of messing around with it to really get it going.I was not able to get it started without the cheap shoelace-like string that comes with it, but then discovered that sweeping it briskly along a low shag carpet was sufficient to get it started.

I am only giving it 4 stars because although I think it is a neat device and a good work-out, I do not believe that its price is reasonable.IMHO, although it is well constructed, the actual cost of the materials used in its construction is probably no more than a couple of dollars.I would say that if this device was more in demand and there was competion to produce it, $10-15 would be a fair price.

Good thick sock for boots
I like the thickness of these for hiking boots, not to thin.They do not cause sweaty feet like some others.They are comfortable and somewhat soft.These stayed up on my legs, others I have had roll down to the top of the boot.

Only issue I had was that the seem at the toe would bind up a few times, which can make for sore toes. Yeah, you could take the shoe/boot off and read just the sock, which is a pain.But in a cave, it is not an ideal situation to do so.I had to go with sore pinky toe, my trip was not much fun.After a few washes the problem has eased. ...

Product Description

Our JC represents the very edge of sophisticated cold forging. See the longitudinal grooves in the corners? Thats U-Channel Construction and despite how it may appear, we didnt machine metal away for weight-savings. Instead, imagine taking a round barstock and cleaving it lengthwise. Then spread the split open and you wind up with more surface area on the opposite side. This type of cold forging operation wasnt even possible before we invented the process and it provides you with an interior rope radius of over 11 mm from 10 mm barstock! And that means its easier on your ropes than any other carabiner in its weight/size class.The JCs asymmetric shape makes it easy to handle and lightning-fast to clip. Its at home on either end of a quickdraw, on cam slings or in our new Alpine Quickdraw.
