Dropping off

Drop-off is by appointment, Thursday to Sunday, 9:30am–1pm and 3pm–6:30pm, in Hamilton's east end. There's no storefront, so the exact address is sent once you book a time. You'll get a call or text when it's ready to pick up.

Why magnetic sticks? Standard sticks drift because their contacts wear out. The TMR and Hall Effect sticks we install sense movement with magnets, so there's nothing to wear. Hall Effect vs TMR →
