Techie Tuedsay: The Daiquiri Whacker

This gas powered margarita maker is muy macho... 

This is the cure for blender envy. Once I accompanied our CEO's assistant to a restaurant equipment supplier on a mission "to buy the best damn blender they have," with a second caveat that it'd be more impressive than the blender owned of our Managing Diretor of Investment Banking. That's where I saw an $800 industrial blender behemoth with a 1 gallon jar and example of blender envy as an upper-management pychosis.

Too bad this $259 puppy wasn't around back then. Check out these specs:

The Daiquiri Whacker sports a Homelite 25cc PowerStroke™ engine that produces the most horsepower in its class. Homelite has the patented Zip Start™ technology – Twice as easy to pull, quicker to start.

The top of the Daiquiri Whacker acts like an umbrella to protect the motor from any spillage. Cleanup is easy! Just wash the jar and wipe off the base. The motor stays VERY clean! The receptacle in the center holds any Oster Jar and is slotted in the back to allow an escape path for any spills preventing any liquid from seeping into the motor.

The starting cord is right on the front of the blender. Easy to find and easy to pull. The starter cord is so easy to pull, you can start the motor with two fingers. The three heavy duty PVC legs press right into the base and provide a tripod footprint that won't rock on any surface.
