Anyone have one of these? I saw them before but never had a chance to use one. Ice heard they work great and I figure I could get one to waste time at work.

I've had the same one for 12yrs.
It can be noisy, but it is fun and annoying at the same time. When the resistance builds up and its had to make full circles it gets frustrating.
Even better is trying to get coworkers and friends try it and fail lol.

I remember when Sharper Image use to sell these. I had one in high school. We'd spin it until the damn thing was screaming and the put it against someones leg to brush burn the piss out of 'em.

Oh and don't get one to waste time at work if high pitched noises are a problem in your workplace. The guy in the cubicle next to me would be constantly pissed if I had one.

The metal version looks like it could be fun. The brush burns would be EPIC.

the gyro in the ball rotates some high rate which adds resistance to work out different areas of your arm and wrists. it comes with a cd and teaches you a lot of different excercises
