I may be misremembering my Victorian newspaper euphemisms, but none of this is actually about sore muscles, is it?

If only they had one that was wand shaped and worked like magic.

The settings go all the way from relaxing tingle up to full on Chuck Tingle.

Don’t mix up the adjustable handheld massager with the eerily similar nail gun.

At least Hitachi seems to be trying to clarify the distinction between their massager and construction tool branding.

How can I target sore muscles if it’s always 50% off?

I think it looks like something from Space: 1999. Which is cool.

I actually saw an article in a PT journal (I think from the 50’s or 60’s) that was about how to adapt a belt sander into a hand held massager.

I recall an article about that ending very, very poorly.

It kind of has a retro-future vibe.

A few months ago I got a knock-off of the Hitachi Magic Wand, it is cheaper, and it seems fine, though I don’t know about how long it will last. I did buy it to relax muscles, not stimulate them.
A few years ago I bought a big percussive massager, and it failed after a few years of sporadic use. (I think the cord broke after it went into the machine, but no easy way to open it up.)

My wife and I both have muscle issues that really could benefit from the use of a massager. But we also have teeangers, which is what keeps us from buying one, even for entirely anodyne uses, because squick factor.
