I reckon it must be pretty simple to DIY one as well - the ones I've seen
are basically just a "head" which compirises a (maybe) 4-inch by
4-inch
square, with a grid of spikes protuding from its face at 45 degrees to the
surface, mounted on a "stick" (telescopic pole?) with a padded
cushion at
the other end which you're supposed to bash with your knee. It surely
wouldn't be beyond the ability of anyone with basic DIY skills to
"Heath
Robinson" something that works just the same. (I reckon I could knock
one up
with various timber offcuts, and a bag of nails!)...

Certainly wouldn't cost £500 ;-)
