It looks like it would be a hassle to clean the potatoes from...

That is, does anyone! I started to ask the question differently, but after posting, noticed my question turned into gutter language! Sorry.

Got rid of mine years ago. Got rid of 2 Honeywells along with the 510 volt 'bricks'.

One of my first wedding flashes in the 70's was the potato masher by Honeywell. I thought it was a 600 something, but I dont see that online. Then I had one that I didnt see anyone mention here. It was called an Ascor Light 1600. Powerful flash, 2 or 3 batteries maybe and a tilt head. Then there was the Lumedyne that had a battery the size of a small car battery on a strap attached to it. 50, 100 and 200 ws capability, and also bare bulb. Can't believe I carried that thing around. As Billy Joel said "When I wore a younger man's clothes".

had that same flash back in the 70's when I had my studio. to me it's still one of the flash units ever made.
But than, in many ways I still live in the 70's.

Yup. All those ring a bell. Carried a Norman flash around with my RB67 and sometimes a large tripod. now my itty bitty Olympus seams heavy at times.

If you are not referring to a food processing tool, then the only thing that comes to mind is the style of hand grenade used by the Germans in WWII which had a handle allowing a greater throwing range.

My wife still uses a hand masher. Favorite dish is shepards pie - mashed potato, corn and ground hamburger then heated in the oven.
Oh yes! Replace corn with frozen peas, even better.

Its un-American to use a electric mixer for mash potatoes. Potatoes, little milk, glop of butter, mash to the consistency you want. Serve! Best with open face roast beef sandwich and brown gravy. What’s not to like. Close second is shepherd’s pie or stand alone.

Are you referring to the Honeywell Stobonar?
I used to use one with my YashicaMat, but that was 40 or more years ago.

I have a couple, but very rarely use. I much prefer the modern stuff, but sometimes you really need that raw power! Best of luck.
