Took the family to Mall of America today and stopped by Brookstone to give the knee a little love....well actually the surrounding muscles, which have been chronically jacked from limping. Anyway, I used to think these massage gadgets for the house pretty much sucked. Not this thing. It's heavy, powerful and has three speeds. My early assessment is it is well worth $99 as my ITB's, hammies, calves and feet are in a state of bliss from its initial use.

I have never before seen a massager that looked like a belt sander, or possibly a power planer.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Brookstone is everywhere that trailer parks or housing projects aren't so feel free to try one for yourself the next time you're at a mall outside of Leland, NC. Everyone else here knows I'm right about pretty much everything and they can order online with confidence based on my say so.

It must not have the attachment that GDG is looking for.

Can it be reasonably operated with one hand for trap work?

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just surprised. It's like being in a Northern state and seeing that they sell ice scrapers that you use with two hands (which is a sign that it's a place that no one should live.)

Yessir and I just did so to be sure. The design is simple, but slick. You can also sit back against your couch and let your weight hold it in place to hit points all over your back. I've also been doing that under my hamstrings and on my calves by resting my leg on the footrest.

I have one of these. Can't say I'm a big fan but my wife uses that thing on her hammies all the time. She loves it.
