Description Useless Box kit

This box switches itself off again and again when you switch it on
The box comes to you as a kit.

This pretty, shiny black box is absolutely useless and pointless. It doesn't do you any good at all. But hey, wait a minute. There's a switch on it labeled on/off. That must mean something...
... and indeed!

If you move the little switch towards 'on', the lid on one side opens and a lever comes out which - and here it comes! -

*drum roll*

*fanfare sounds*

- which sets the switch back to 'off'!

And now the whole thing again from the beginning: set the switch to 'on', lever comes out, switches the box off again. And again. And again. Seriously, you can't get enough of it. If you have an obsession with moving levers, the only way to get you away from the Useless Box is in a white jacket with the sleeves on your back ;)

Before you can start your new favorite pastime, however, you first have to assemble the Useless Box. This is a bit tricky, and you'll need a soldering iron and some solder. A sturdy Phillips screwdriver is also required (for the weaker sex, we recommend a small cordless screwdriver, as screwing in the screws requires more than a little strength. Stronger adults should therefore also assist if their children aged 12 and over dare to use the box - it's better). Apart from the batteries, everything else is included that you can see in the pictures: Motor, cables, screws etc. and instructions.

The assembly itself then takes about 1.5-2 hours.
Now just insert 2*AA batteries - and off you go: On. Off. On. Off. On. Off...

This may take you too long because you can't wait to measure your stamina against that of the Useless Box. In that case, it's also available fully assembled.

... and if you want to know exactly how the On Off On Off works, you can read about it in our blog.

Anders als vermutet muss an diesem Bausatz tatsächlich gelötet werden. Was jedoch nur kurz genervt hat, da ein Zusammenbau am Gabentisch nicht möglich war. Inzwischen steht sie da, in voller Pracht und funktioniert tadellos.

Produkt wie beschrieben, bis man aber zum Bauen kommt, müssen die Teile recht mühsam und zeitaufwendig von der Schutzfolie befreit werden.
Sonst witzig.

Ein absolutes MUSS für jeden der schon Alles hat

Do I gain +10 Charisma if I wear a nerdy shirt?
