I've been thinking of getting 1 of these Powerballs, specifically the Signature Edition, as it comes with a wrist strap & 3 pull cords. What I'm wondering though is do you still get the lifetime guarantee if you get it from Play.com instead of direct from the manufacturer?

Only if you involve your entire arm in spinning the ball.
There are better ways of getting rid of 'bingo wings' than using a powerball (which is really for forearm development)
--google for "tricep excersises" :)
