This wiper blade sharpener is a spoof on a very funny website

Imagine my surprise to find a genuine wiper blade sharpener on a serious website
tiny.cc/HNrBK
Does anyone believe that the genuine product would be of any use?
By the way, check out some of those other products on KaleCoAuto, there are some really useful ideas!

I'm game for a laugh ~ and at my expense if necessary. Why is it a spoof?

Just take a look at some of the other items on that website and I think you'll start to get the joke.
I particularly like the cross-drilled brake hoses!

I've still got a Trico wiper blade sharpener somewhere from at least two decades ago - it did actually do the job claimed.

I'm almost inclined to order the genuine article now!
On the Fiat Panda all wiper blades end up being very noisy after only a relatively short mileage, this may be the solution.

excellent site for a chuckle! ;-)
bookmarked for a rainy day!

my favorite is the "sparkplug wire cleaner" - simply pour into the battery ! ;-)

I liked the exhaust 'O-pipe', providing 100% back pressure.. :-)

(I am also amused that Google continues to post serious ads in the top right corner. As Peter Cook used to say, that could confuse a stupid person!)

For those cars fitted with a tampon dispenser, I hope there's a nice big warning notice. Bigger than the "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" sticker, for instance.

Fantastic site.
After all these decades of looking up in all sorts sites and shops I can at last order some sky hooks.
They come in a set - even better.

After all the talk on the forum about winter tyres i can now get matching "Seasonal Tire Air"

and for SWMBO for next birthday a "Passenger Noise Reducer".
OH ***** Too late - They are now sold out.

But Sky Hook was a real thing used to rescue USA downed pilots.

Bizarrely, I think Maserati call their fancy adjustable suspension Sky Hook.

How about 'a potato clock' ?
Mrs Ted told me to get a potato clock in the morning but I couldn't find one anywhere !

Or send him down to the cellar to bring up a 15 ft long steel pipe known as a 'struggle bar'
