If you don’t think potatoes and tennis balls are interchangeable, you haven’t tried my balles de tennis au gratin.

This thing looks cool! just wondering how well the igniter would hold up? And can you get a new ignition when it stops working,or is the gun disposable?

@crughes I've not personally used this unit but I'm certain you could fit a BBQ ignition unit onto it if needed.

@sirnasty: Funny thing is i was think of my grills igniter always breaking thats why i ask. The listing mentioned a twisting igniter.But i think you may have the right idea.

"Perfect for a game of fetch with your dog or CAT." I would love to see a cat fetch a ball even 20 feet away.

@crughes: your are definately going to modify the ignitor a bit (I switched mine out to a BBQ one as well). Just rememebr the BBQ one needs a ground point to function, unless you get the battery type.

I bought one of these last time they were on Woot and the ignition doesn't work at all, I contacted the company and they sent a new one that is just the same as the first and does not work. At some point when I have time I will have to look at modifying it to use something else.

The igniter that comes with this unit is flint operated (like a cigarette lighter). I couldn't get it to work because it kept getting wet from the hair spray and ultimately ground the flint completely away. You can replace the flint, but I haven't bothered. I plan to swap out for a BBQ ignitor when I have a chance. It was a good gift idea for the price, but left me frustrated in the end. It is also somewhat on the small side. I would recommend just going to the hardware store and building your own.

Why not build your own? That's half the fun!

Use a very small squirt of starting fluid. I have a homemade one and starting fluid makes that thing kick. Also beets work great. Make a plunger for your gun to push the projectile down just to the ignition chamber. You can take a sock or small towel and fire it indoors.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
