The Stickler...

Post by deernet »

Searching for wood stoves on ebay I found this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-STICKLER-VEHICL ... dZViewItem

This device is supposed to mount to the hub of a vehicle and act as a giant corkscrew. So when you get back in the woods, you put your truck on jackstands to attach your new stickler. The first few logs go allright while you are pushing them onto a giant diesel powered death screw, but on one of the last ones, your coat becomes hung in the stickler. Your arm is violently ripped from your torso! The first thing you think is you should get to a hospital, fast. Only problem, your truck is on jackstands with a giant corkscrew attached so your stuck in the woods and DIE a horrible death. :duh:

Product FAIL. Who would buy such a thing?

This probably should have been in the open forum... Mods, move if you wish.

Its low cost heat... What's wrong with that? You should get two of those sticklers and mount 'em on your forks. :grinnod:

Oho! You know some drunk woodsbilly is gonna see that andthink 'hmmm..why even take the rim off?' and make his own that bolts to the wheel, not the hub.


And then, the predictable driving around with it slashing it's way out of the two track and then sticking out into traffic.
