I was not THAT desperate for getting confirmation, and certainly not from these people.<\/p>\n<p>As they sold me botched bolts a few years ago and when faced with bare facts (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/?p=65\">to this day<\/a>) refused to apologize, instead recommended to get ergotherapy (probably to better use their crappy hardware) it is unbelievable to see them present this here. Why is the person not holding the needle with the hook, and using their natural hand to put in the thread? Where are ergo-therapists when Otto Bock needs them most?<\/p>\n<p>We also realize that Otto Bock may not just have hooks that have a sustained capacity to grab threads. They also have other hooks.
