As long as one person doesn’t think it’s ridiculous, $300 is fair market value.

Never use “chain” chucks. It’s not intuitive, but they’re wildly less durable than those with cable, and unlike cable, they don’t degrade visibly. Mercifully I was working out alone when mine came apart. The mechanism simply requires too many working parts for them all to be strong.

somehow that sounds rather obscene

Far from uncomfortable, I was impressed by the speed and efficiency.

Had that happen to me once and came here to say that I would never try to use this contraption. I was clutching my giblets for a good ten minutes. I actually know how to use nunchucku, but interestingly enough only because when I was around eight when my father showed me how to use them properly with one of those TMNT ninja sets.
Even though I know how to use them, think they’re fun, and have owned numerous pairs in the past, I’ve never been convinced of their practicality in real life.

$40 for the hardware, $20 for the labor, and $340 for the liability insurance.

It is inherently goofy that these and shuriken are outlawed in some states, whereas handguns and rifles that are several orders of magnitude more lethal are allowed.

Interestingly, those are not the hammers.

Seems like a bargain to me… I have it from a reliable news source that a typical hammer is $435 – which is actually a bargain, because I always thought that they were $600 (perhaps that is the cost of toilet seats).

Why nunchucks (and countless other non-firearms) get so little second amendment love is one of those finer points of American constitutional law that I will probably never understand.

If I remember correctly, didn’t nun chucks evolve from grain threshing staffs that farmers used as improvised weapons? Or was that the three sectioned staff?
Anyway my point is, they were originally bladeless farm tools that just happened to be good for flailing, are not a very practical weapon, but good for distraction and intimidation. Much like shuriken.
I wouldn’t want to fight unarmed against someone with a lot of practice with nun chucks though. I’m personally more of a knife and cudgel guy myself.

He tagged him self in the ass with the nuchuck-hammers, while it didn’t kill him, it certainly wrecked him.

I know right?! What could be more American than a well regulated militia preserving the security of a free state with their nunchucks and shuriken?

They are deadly if used in the correct movies. Otherwise, not so much. There’s a reason knife and cudgel are found in all cultures and the exotic weapons are more rare.

A friend who happens to be dumber than a sack of hammers?

Now I’m visualizing a set of rulers strapped together this way. Catholic School Nun-chucks.
(I may have to make a set of these, to be formally displayed without comment.)
Afterthought: A friend who grew up in the appropriate culture has pointed out that it should be a modified yardstick. And I’m thinking it might need weighted tips – or need to be made of something heavy like ironwood – to move properly. Hm.

If not a workable method of defense, it’s at least a good porno.
