ZAP! or not. – Shock-Your-Friend Electric Shock Handshake Toy Reviews

posted by CartDude on 01/27/2009 Certified Owner

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

Pros:
Small enough to fit in a palm. Zaps nicely, but only sometimes. Can be opened by removing a few screws. This way you can get parts for some other shocking projects.
Cons:
Build quality not very good. Works intermittently, the zap into the palm of the hand is very weak, almost not noticeable. The switch is quite poor as well.
Other:
A toy pretty much, I guess for this price you cannot expect too much.
Bottomline:
Will not shock if used on the palm, works better on smaller areas, such as the tips of your fingers, but this negates the idea of the product.
