And if you drop them a second time, they will break again. She, again, can answer any questions. Now the dropping isn't Fujiu's fault, but their service is awful. Nobody answers the phone, and nobody returns calls. It was pure torture to get them repaired, then I got to do it again. Did I mention that my wife will answer questions? The third time I actually fixed them myself which is a miracle, since at least 50% of the time my attempted repairs end up with smoke and sometimes even flames. She can answer questions about that too, because for some strange reason she still married me after the first fire.
So assuming one isn't married to Mrs. Butterfingers, are they robust enough for boat use?
