I found it unbelievable the number of posters there that actually thought the squirrel was harmed by this!

Haha! Sweet of you to think of me Matt You'd be amazed at how many of my friends sent me this link! And I seriously doubt the squirrel was hurt (resilient little buggers!) Actually he probably enjoyed it and came back for more! I've found a more effective tool.

LMAO I bet you have! I just figured this wasn't too bad, no blood splatters or loud gun noises going off!

We (wife & I) played with one of the full feeders with spins when we were looking to squirrel proof our bird feeding stations.
There's a nature/birder shop in old town Spring that has a video by the company they play for it. Funny - they add sound effects of "Uh Oh!" and "Wheeee!" to the tree rats flying off the thing.
But the $100+ price tag was a bit high.

These they show here can be found for $30-40 and used by any feeder, so look better.
I may just order one for the photo ops
