Booster Blades

Hi There!

Just to let you know that we have now launched Booster Blades last week at the Geneva European Invention Exhibition. The photo on your site is of a very old prototype. The product has gone through a 2 year evolution cycle which has included re-designs, re-engineering testing and final production. Booster Blades also now have an alliance with a small British engineering company, Jetway Associates Ltd. Jetway are exclusively manufacturing and distributing the product. You can find out more via the website Booster-Blades.com.
