Hint. They are neither ear, nose, nor butt plugs.

No.
Another clue is the string knotted through the end is important.

The fact that it is painters tape is irrelevant.
It could be a plastic wedge, wood may not be the best.
The diameter of the rolled up tape or a thickness of a plastic wedge is important.
Good tough string should be incorporated into whatever is used.

It's a muscle builder. I got mine from Charles Atlas. It is a key part of his "Dynamic Tension" technique. You squeeze it real tight 400 times a day, and you will be able to kick start your Norton with your right hand. Plus, bullies won't kick sand in your face.

New softer iso rubbers

Another hint.
How can something so stupid and simple make life that much easier?

A lanyard for a sidestand puck so old farts like me don't have to bend over to retrieve it.

Go on...............as in continue............

OK, Click gets the big YAHTZEE!

Putting these plugs in there, push the rods forward giving the best clearance for enty into the tunnels. I remember while holding them with my fingers, kept them more inboard offer less clearance and more fumbling about.
I realize it's not science or ground breaking, but it really worked a treat.

Gotcha, you get the boobie Yahtzee. Somebody else care to set him straight, or should this be a new puzzle?
