Powerball your Carpal Tunnel away
The function of the Powerball is to allieviate wrist strain and carpal tunnel syndrome, and help strengthen the lower arm area in general. So apparently what you do is insert this ripcord into the orb, pull it out, and turn your wrist to derive the benefit of the gyroscopic forces that are unleashed. At top speed, it goes at up to 20,000 rpm, during which means over 40lbs of pressure is being exerted from your hand up to your shoulder. It also probably gathers less dust than other exercise gear that you well-intentionedly purchase and then abandon - although this one looks small enough to, say, take to work. £70. [GT]
