Also, your wife's unlikely to steal them to do something make-up related.

That road can go both ways.
Foam-tipped makeup applicators (for eye shadow, I think) work great in situations where a cotton Q-tip would get snagged on pointy lead ends or whatever.

It sure does. When my wife's out I put on her makeup and panties and pretend to be Nancy Wilson fixing up her guitar before a gig.

Just the thing when your audio jacks are dripping with juicy audio. He should market to the audiophile guys and charge $125 a pack.

About once a month when your guitar seems cranky and in a bad mood.

About once a month when your guitar seems cranky and in a bad mood.

If you guitar's old enough, say 50+, no more need to consult the calendar. It's that way ALL the time.

And the only song it will play is "Yes, dear."

Gents, you're a crack-up!

"audio tampons" - that's been done before, and I was tempted to try and find some way of using it in some context, but I suspect there might be some people who wouldn't see the humour.

Also, "yes dear" - as a late middle-aged married man, I resemble that remark.

I DO think a few of you are right in saying that my main target market is likely folks a good deal less technically adept than yourselves, but I hope the 'Killers might prove to be useful for some.

Thanks once again for your input/humour.

Krackle, this is a tough crowd to be sure.
But, a wise product engineer would do well to pay close attention to any criticism or cynicism levied at their product. All of us technicians rely on our tools to perform the quality repairs and service our customers demand. Any tool that performs a needed service, is machined to hold up under heavy use, and will last for years, would find many loyal customers here.
