Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

I think this is a joke. The posting date was April 1st. The "inventor" is Reuben Goldberg (Rube Goldberg). It reads like a parody.
How would you like to get hit with a cast iron panel moving 85 mph? I bet you have a lot of control with those nice long push sticks, too!
Sorry to say Harry common sense died some time ago, no wake or fair wells.
I spend approx. 20% of my time writing procedures, thoughtless employees continue to amaze me.

Just trying to learn
Jr. just brought this thing to my attention. I think it is one of the most ridiculous inventions I've yet seen. Someone is going to get whacked by this iron plate and sue them.
Before that happens,though,someone had better get the idiot spectators to stand elsewhere,don't you think?? It might get that woman's note book all bloody.
P.S.:I want to know what happens when the iron plat flies up and the board is TOO LONG. It goes up over the top of the plate,and the operator gets the board in the face,or throat? Maybe in the eye???
When cutting a bunch of short pieces,I sometimes lean against the front edge of the saw. What then,?????

Aw c'mon, it's a joke!! Besides, how could you not love the cast iron skeet approach to self protection?
I read this back on April one. My reaction was;
Then I read all the comments people posted thinking this was a terrible invention. My reaction was;
I think a sense of humor went out the window with common sense.
This is not serious, it's an APRIL FOOL'S DAY JOKE. It did take me in though until I saw the date. IT'S A JOKE IT'S A JOKE IT'S A JOKE IT'S A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't see it was done in April!!
Man that's funny. What's funnier is seeing all the donuts go off the handle in the comments underneath about what a bad idea it is! The 2-ft long push sticks are a dead-giveaway.
I posted an April Fool's joke, and it raised a few laughs (basically I made a Harbor Freight dust collector into an imposter), but there still people asking where I got a RIDGID dust collector well after I admitted it was a joke.
If you look at the guy really close in the last picture, he has a small smirk on his face. That's how you can tell it's a joke. It takes a real sick person to smirk when a piece of wood is coming at your....ball peen hammer...
I'm a Joe of all trades. It's a first, it'll catch on.
Either staged, or the guy second from the left has some amazing reflexes. His hands are in his pockets for the first two shots.
