A new competitor on the market

Post by fiatben »

Not sure what to think about someone who would post this. Is it some sort of comment against Shopsmith? Or just a good joke?

I love good sarcastic humor, it shows that people are still thinking.
I can't see any jab at ShopSmith here though.

More likely a competitor to Swiss Army knives or Leatherman. Whatever, creativity and ingenuity are still alive.

Tis funny!:D:cool:

P.S. If the drill and battery are functional, it is worth the asking price considering the extra SPT's.

Clever. It is lacking only a 9mm with a laser sight (dual purpose for leveling, and leveling the playing field).:D
