Description Useless Box Assembly Kit

  • When you switch this box on, it will switch itself off at once: The box comes to you in parts, you will have to assemble it first.
What the heck is this?
Good question!
This is the ultimate illustration of the pointlessness of man's existence. Yes, that's what it is. Totally pointless.
In short: You turn it on, it turns itself off. Self-defeat at it's best. Again and again, over and over. You won't stop it from switching itself off when you've switched it on. Never. The useless box does what it's supposed to do.
But first, you'll have to assemble it, which will take approx: 1.5-2 hours.
You will need a screwdriver, a tin-solder and soldering iron. Besides the batteries, everything else you can see on the pictures is included, like the motor, wires, screws etc. and a manual.
Make sure you'll get a pair of strong hands for assistance when you can't tighten the bolts. But apart from that, assembling is fun - and flipping the switch even more so!
Maybe you can't wait that long to take up the Useless Box endurance challenge? In that case, we have one already assembled for you.
Have a look at the video and you will see that the attraction of the switch is be irresistible. Get yourself a useless box right now and try it out :)

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.

You only recognize a good store when things get difficult.

For example, when a delivered product has a defect. This was replaced quickly, easily and without any problems. It doesn't get any better than that!
