A small empty aluminum cylinder is shown empty LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH the ends.  An "animal balloon" is inflated and AFTER IT IS FULL OF AIR it is pushed through the ends of the tube filling it tightly.  The tube has two holes going straight through the sides (so actually 4, lol)  Two large solid nails are shown and pushed right through... without popping the balloon!  They are retrieved , the balloon pulled out, and then popped if you so wish!  Or... as I discovered in demonstrating this item, you can actually pull the balloon out WHILE THE NAILS ARE STILL IN PLACE!  Then show the tube through the ends with the nails going right through!  I got a great reaction from this, JAW DROPPING!

2.0: Since the time of our new ownership, the retirement of our 40 year metal maker, and the addition of our new guy Ickle Pickle's metal department has had some "high-end" changes.  The material is a higher gauge resulting in greater strength and more consistent wall thickness throughout each item.  We have access to tooling we never had before for a better production process especially for items that require the assembly of multiple parts.  Our pans have even been given a new look with the metal handles/knobs.  We've also made  improvements in the mechanics inside creating a smoother function Sure, there's cheaper stuff out there but what do you want to walk on stage with and how many times do you want to replace it throughout your life?  Why not start with the best?
