    Default How the blazers?

    The missus came home with a tube of some sort of hand cream. Gladwrapped to the tube was one of these hand massagers (see pic).
    The ball in the centre spins freely and is contained, so the piece is obviously made from 4 separate units and glued together.
    Overall the finish is pretty good, no sanding marks etc. In fact it's a pretty cool little item.
    What I found interesting was that if you didn't want to buy the hand cream you could buy the massager separately for.........
    THREE DOLLARS!.
    How the blazers do you make one of these so that it can retail for $3 ?.DSCF3263.JPG

    Even weekend hacks like us compete in a global economy. At least the AUD$ is down to 92c so maybe we have a better chance now?

    Where ever they were made " Sweatshop" was the word that sprung to mind here.
    Just checked and they are definately 4 piece. How would you turn a ball inside captive collar?
