Reviews

Love my new hand cards.

"Love my new hand cards. I didn't realize they came with some assembly required. Just a screwdriver to attach handles. But my hands are not good, and also the instructions for which way to attach them were kind of confusing. I did it backwards first. Now that they're together, they are working well!"

ELIZABETH G. (5/5)

Do not like the fact

"Do not like the fact the I had to assemble the handles to the card. They are rather expensive, and should come completely assembled."
