Well it's a ******* ridiculous price to pay for a little birdie (anemometer) transducer, but ****** a I must admit the packaging makes me feel like I really got my money's worth (yea right)

Yea except a chainsaw inside would feel more like you were getting something, not just look like it.

It's an anemometer or in this case half of it, this is the transducer or sensor end, it outputs windspeed and direction (among other data) relative to your heading and puts it on an LCD screen for my convenience.



Here's the other half
