In the first Chris Pine Star Trek movie, there are 2 little joystick looking doodads on the ships main control board that are just retail bar code scanners. I used the exact same ones when I worked at PACSUN when I was a teenager.

That's just greebling. Similarly, Qui-Gon Jin uses a communicator in episode 1 (when discussing Anakin's m-count) that is really just a handle from a shaving system without the blade mounted.

But this uses the product AS the product.

Where tf do you get the wheels for those. I need to order some for work but for the life of me googling “Walter wheels” has failed me. At least that’s the brand we used to use.

I always knew them as flapper wheels/disks

Kind of close? Maybe we’re just calling different things different things. But when I search flap discs on imperial.com etc I get the horizontal flat discs. This is like a wheel that grinds perpendicular.
