Just in case you don't have a drill and bits, I can suggest the following:

Directions:
1. Gather the materials listed above. It doesn't hurt to have a friendly furry creature on hand to help out. :)

2. If you wish to insert a 1/4-inch power extension bit into the lacrosse ball, use a 3/16-inch drill bit to put a hole halfway through the ball - you can use the small divot-like depression at the end of the ball as your target area. If you prefer to use a 3/8-inch power extension bit to insert into the ball, use a 5/16-inch drill bit to create the hole.
3. Insert the wide end of the power extension bit into the hole, then turn upside-down and gently push down on the ball and bit against a stable surface to slide the ball down onto at least half of the bit.
4. Insert the ball and bit into the universal adaptor.
5. Insert the universal adaptor into the jigsaw.
6. Play around with the variable-speed jigsaw to get a feel of how much vibration can be created at different amplitudes. It's best to use both hands to control the jigsaw, and to keep your hands and fingers away from the area of action while your percussion/vibration massaging tool is in action.
Please note that I do not know if the universal adaptor noted above will fit into other jigsaws.
