let me just tell you about the torque on this thing. Because it’s not much. but it was enough for me. I made it work for my specific situation. which was in the computer room, Monday through Friday between the hours of 3:15 and 4:49, or until I heard my mom’s car in the driveway. the massager was purchased to treat a specific and mild injury one of my parents sustained in a collision and I’m sure its absence did not go unnoticed. but no one ever asked. No one ever asked me. no one ever asked. No one ever asked “what ever happened to the Homedics PM-30CTM Mini Massage-on-the-go Massager, Small enough to take anywhere, Fabulously fun & pleasantly powerful - ideal for gifts, Cute as a bug, Irresistible metallic color, Cushy gel heads provide comfort and glide easily on the body, Convenient battery operation (PM30CTM PM 30CTM PM-30CT PM-30C PM-30 PM30)?” No. No one ever asked. they knew. They knew it wouldn’t survive and they should have known better than to bring it into that home. “Small enough to take anywhere” But it mostly stayed in the way back of the bottom shelf of the media unit in the computer room, in an empty tissue box under some documents. and it only saw the light of day Monday through Friday between the hours of 3:15 and 4:49 or until I heard my mom’s car in the driveway. and ladies let me tell you — those gel heads were Cushy. let me tell you ladies, they could not be cushier if they were chantilly cream. And no one ever asked what ever happened to the fabulously fun & pleasantly powerful Homedics mini Massage-on-the-go massager. they didn’t need to ask. They knew. they were complicit in its disappearance the moment they brought it into that home.
