It would but, if you've got a ****ed back or are otherwise incapacitated in a similar manner it is really difficult to put socks on. Last year after I was in a car accident I could barely move and trying to put socks on using only your feet and friction from the floor is really difficult. I would have loved a device like this.

For most people, yes. But those lacking the flexibility to reach down to their feet (probably all of us at some point in our lives) this could provide an aid to remaining independent. My old man, now no longer with us, needed just such an aid during the last 10 years of his life. His metallic knees wouldn't allow him to reach down to his feet, but he was able to keep dressing himself with a little help like this. He also had a gadget that helped him get his shoes on.

My kids love King of Random.

I had already planned on making the foundry with my son, now we have some cool things we can do with it. Not going to make the imitation weapon, though... lots of ways to get in trouble with that, but I'm sure there are other things we can make.

I know where that is. I've been up and down being lifted with a boat there (and on the other side of the island) many times.

Here's a late friend, John Ryves', Landy being delivered.
