You palm it, you offer your hand, and the other person gets a sharp buzz they were not expecting. It is startle rather than pain — the same sensation as a static shock off a car door.
Small enough to sit in a pocket all day, which matters because the best moment is rarely the one you planned.
Why people buy it
- Total surprise. Nobody is suspicious of a handshake.
- Pocket sized. It is there when the moment comes.
