Your advice is excellent for those who wish to tumble rocks.
But are those the right choice for someone like @jlw who just wants to piss off an annoying relative by giving the relative’s kids a cheap,noisy plastic POS?
I mean, no point investing in quality for that, is there? Especially if the higher quality units are quieter.
Your selections may be better for actual Makers, but do they represent maximum Bang-for-the-Buck when it comes to cleverly annoying people you don’t like very much?
