This might start as a theme but my dad (90) didn’t immediately realise what the door jamb guard thing I’d bought off eBay and had delivered to him was. I genuinely forgot to tell him I was getting it.

I’m looking for other devices that aren’t immediately obvious as to their use that I can send him to try and flummox him.

Any suggestions, please keep it clean. If it’s engineering/bikes/textiles based all the better.

what’s a door jamb guard thing ?

get him a gear hanger alignment tool

It was a buffer to stop the door closing completely (to allow the dog to get its nose in and open the door).

Oh, and I meant motorbikes.

get some electronic drum sticks.

Accepting it’ll be no use whatsoever but to serve as a lovely tactile thing, check out the Wichard quick-release snap-shackle.

When I said “him” I meant “you” 😉

No good hols2, he’ll get that straight away. Back in his day ALL castrations were performed using one of those

A Sat Nav, at 90 he’ll have no idea what it is 🙂

Get him an iPad

Seriously Drac?

Everyone knows a cork screw

Nah. It’s a robot duck.

a flesh light

gadgets, that aren’t obvious what they do

On unwrapping a fleshlight, if you havent worked out that you shove your cock in it within the first 30 seconds then romance is dead.

Errrrr, thanks, so far, I think.

Most folks haven’t a clue what these are for.

1. Function?
2. Why I didn’t just press ‘buy it now’? (Does require one. Doesn’t object to yellow.)

A mate got me one of these about 15 years ago.No one has ever figured out what it is for or how to use it.It looks pretty neat too.
