Review on 💪 BFGun HyperDrive Percussive Therapy Muscle Massager Gun - Real-Time Pain Relief Deep Tissue Shiatsu Trigger Point Sports Recovery (X100) by Kara Davis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's so loud because it's a converted power tool!

I suspect a lot of the reviews here should be paid for because the average buyer would NEVER put up with how loud this thing is. The reason for the noise is that it is essentially a cordless jigsaw. Search for a WORX Axis jigsaw and you will see an almost identical product made for the workshop. However, it offers more stroke with each cycle, allowing it to penetrate deeper into your soft tissue. For some people that would be great (including me). But others will bruise if the head is jerked back and forth a full inch with great force. I could leave it and use it during the day (my neighbor thought I was building a bird house last night). , except that the first change to one of the attachments failed. The thread pitch on the receiver (male) seems to align very well with the threaded hole (female) on the attachments, so it's very tight when you screw in and remove the attachments. When I tried to unscrew the large styrofoam ball mount, the glue holding the threaded part in the ball broke. This rendered the attachment unusable and required removing the threaded portion of the massager with pliers. For the money I paid for it you could buy a much better quality saw and a separate set of attachments. He returns to Revane.
