January 27, 20188 yr comment_138530 I Don't speak the language but when I saw her smile and enthusiasm I felt I was about to see something good. I wasn't let down. I don't know where you found this Lew but I was thrilled to see it. Made my life a little brighter. Loved it! Too Kool! I had tried to balance mine out and was taping pennies to them and thought about small nails as weight but just didn't take the time and searched out a balanced material instead. A big thanks for posting this. Report

February 20, 20188 yr comment_141025 interesting trick that turning so that the "rest" isan't used the way we do to take the force of turning but rather merely to rest the tool and their hand takes the force of turning. A result is that a catch for them is a trifling thing. the tool merely bounces away . Report
