This thing is awesome! I didn't think it'd be anything but a really nerdy thing to swing around when you have nothing to do, but once you pick up pace you can really feel it in your arms. It becomes even harder if you do the exercises in the book - doing it with a stretched arm or something.

I got the basic thing (no counter or LED's) for 11 euros and now I wish I got a fancier one because this thing is awesome.

How does it work and what does it do?

uh

It has a weight inside it, you either wrap a little string around the yellow thing inside the blue thing, and pull it to start it quickly, or snap your thumb across it. Then you make circling movements with your wrist to get the yellow thing spinning in two movements. Because the weight shifts place really quickly inside it, it feels like it will fly out of your hand and you have to hold on to it tightly, and it'll feel heavier once spinning too.

The thing inside moves like shit, I think the record is around 200k rpm.

I know everyone working in an office has had one of these for ages but hey this is my first college course with computers OKAY

So I just looked it up on youtube, and it seems doesn't seem much different from wanking if you ask me.

Haha, awesome
That video made me think of one of those cheesy sci-fi movies where the character grabs some sort of orb of power and it starts to go berserk.

Fixed

They look like a waste of money.

Blackmagic had one and when I was at his house I had this in my hand alot of the time.

They're deceptively good exercise. Once they're spinning, you have to deal with about fifty pounds of torque.

Wow, that thing looks insane! I want one!

tired of wanking heineken?

At first I thought that meant that you bought a lotto ticket, but then I remembered you're in a different country and was like wtf?

A decent one will cost you about 30 euros. I don't want to buy one because everytime I buy some sort of gadget I stop using it after a week.

To those saying they cost a lot, go look up some internet stores, there's millions of them selling these, they're some kind of geek hype or something.
And my wrist fucking hurts after using that thing all day yesterday shit.
