Your typical magazine reading accident.

[I.B. Washincars]

This one is actually on me. Today, I was rared back in my chair with my feet up on the desk. I was totally engrossed in the "Wobblehead" article in the February Kleen-Scene when all of the sudden...POW! and I'm on the floor looking at the ceiling, while writhing in pain. No, it wasn't an attack in an attempt to steal all my car wash secrets. It seems that I have gained enough weight to snap off the pedestal of my office chair. I jammed my elbow into the concrete floor so hard that I felt that I broke my arm, but after laying there and recovering for a few minutes I think I'm gonna come out of it with just a nasty bruise.

I know this is not the most exciting story, because after all, who hasn't this happened to?

Not that many of us have magazine reading accidents statistically speaking or we would probably read less. We wish you well in your recovery, and litigation with the chair manufacturer. What do you think of the wobble head? I still think that the aluminum handles under $10 is more than enough to spend on a brush handle. I really don't care if they use the brush and pay for it or not. Still i wonder how the foam makes the handle stiff . Looks to cost more than the few that are cheap would spend. Anyone know the technology behind it,

Anyone know the technology behind it,

It looks like a piston is pushed through the "wobble" section to keep it from flexing.

I know it's off the topic of a magazine reading related injury, but I wouldn't use the wobble heads. One of the things that I've seen a lot of our most regular customers do is use the foam brush long enough to cover their car thoroughly with foam and let the time run out to spend a few minutes scrubbing. It's not a bad enough problem that I care to try and stop it, and I'm sure more people would be ****ed off than would understand. I see it as them recognizing they're getting more than their money's worth, and that is a better perception than having them think we're trying to squeeze every last quarter out of them as possible. Our competition can keep that reputation.

Mep you are 100% on why not to buy it. I probably wouldn't install a wobble head if they were free. Then when the piston sticks??? I must be so far out i haven't got the kleen scene yet, and now slower delivery, but now am afraid to read unless i find a suitable chair.

I.B., are you sure it was the KR mag?

 

[I.B. Washincars]

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

$150 Huh? I'm trying to do the math of how much time they need to steal to make it worth it, and I can't forget the replacement costs for when they need replaced.
