The only thing I would probably change is the contact surface. Not the rubber gripper part, but what’s underneath the gripper part, which is nothing. I would put a solid flat piece in there, probably wood. The designer(Chickenchoker) must be an engineer or engineering student.
There is something in there now! See posts #85 & #86 of this thread:
And no, I’m not an engineer or engineering student. I’m just a smart mofo who likes to choke the chicken. :D

CC,
>What do you tell the shipping people when they ask you what is in the package?<
Actually, it has never come up that I know of. I get the boxes ready, but my wife does all the actual mailing.
On the foreign orders, for customs, the description is exercise equipment, which is close enough to the truth.

My post office is extremely leery of any packages, they’ll even ask you what’s in a priority mail envelope if it feels lumpy at all. I had to include 3 one-ounce lead weights in such an envelope and had to explain it.

CC,
In the beginning, they might have asked something, I don’t know. But now, they see the little boxes about three times per week, there are few postal workers at our PO, and they all know my wife. So, it is no big deal.

Gee, that seems a little over the line. I can happily say my PO folks don’t care, I’ve sent some strange looking shit. They are glad to have such a good job and simply take my money. :) Alice
