Stevem,
Things really are bad, you've turned some plastic!
Lots say they don't like the kit, but is it the kit, as in the way it fits together, poor design or do they mean the finished item looking like a pile of pants. I agree that the finished item is a pile of pants but I've sold quite a few of these to those who suffer from Carpal Tunnel problems.
The kit, to me , is ok, not the best but certainly not Polaris standard!
