    Read the destruction manual?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Found what you need here

    "Each tab is the exact dose for a full wash so there is no need for measuring or guesswork.

    Use Finish Powerball Tabs with Finish Salt and Finish Rinse Aid for best results."

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I'm sorry mate, but as I don't have one, I can't tell you how to work it. Can't be that hard can it? Does it need batteries?

    You pull the string,and rotate the powerball in a circle to gain centrifugal force inside the ball... it's all about the wrist movement!

    I have no idea why!! They've been for sale for ages now... I've got the NEXT shop equivalent... not very good though!

    I know play.com are selling them at £18 delivered, whereas the official site is doing them at around £30!

    Theirs also an alluminium one out now... sells for around £40 on play.com

    I believe they've "taken off" because someone posted the link in BH and hexus members can't get enough of useless gadgets at a bargainous price!

    Anyone willing to make a video of themselves powerballing as I fear it's the only way I will find out how to keep the damn thing going

    Aint got a power ball, but had plently of gyroscopes, which I guess this is.

    I would suggest that once it's spinning, you try and draw a circle with your hand (keeping your wrist stationary!), you should feel the gyro effect (resistance to being turned in certain directions) once you've found this, push in that direction(s), getting faster without losing the 'gyro', I would guess this is how it 'spins up'.

    If not ignore me

    I know a better way to strengthen your wrists, which don't need a 'Powerball' or any money at all.....
