Exactly what I needed.

Although, these were slightly smaller then I anticipated, they were perfect for reasons I ordered in these two areas. 1st- used as a squirrel deterrent on tall pole bird feeder, as they don’t like to climb the coils. Works great bc squirrels already have their own food & this helps keep birds happy. 2nd- GKids playing with other two. So excellent product for the money & for my needs.

Pros
  • I thought they were full size but can make this work
Cons
  • Doesn't stretch out at all to do any of things slinky type toys do.

Small but mighty! best in my review

They were a bit smaller than expected. We are using them as stocking stuffers. They seem durable but we haven’t tested them with our children out yet.

Pros
  • KCO Brands
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for outdoor play, as it could easily get lost in grass or dirt

This slinky doesn’t slink…

Yeah, I’d steer clear of this one. It won’t slink down stairs, and the metal is too ridged. You can’t slink it from one hand to the other. I guess if you need a small section of coiled up metal, knock yourself out… if you’re looking for a classic slinky, nope.

Pros
  • I used the slinkies to keep squirrels off my bird feeder poles. Works like a charm!!
Cons
  • It could easily get lost or misplaced due to its small size

Kids loved these on my review.

These are small bit the kids like them and it took them much longer then expected to get one tangled beyond fixing. 3 other are showing wear but still good a month later. So it is a win for me.

Pros
  • Gift
Cons
  • I use them as squirrel deterrents.

Rather small. Size is everything I've been told.

Was surprised at how small the slinkys were compared to what I remember as a child. They are going to be used to discourage squirrels from the bird feeders. They may be too small for even that!

Pros
  • We bought the slinky package to keep the squirrels off our bird feeder poles. So far it's working.
Cons
  • It may not be as durable as other toys, and may need frequent replacement

I used them as rewards for good behaviors and reaching goals. They work well and are reasonably priced. They are high quality and work well.

Pros
  • used on my bird feeder pole to make it squirrel proof ..
Cons
  • Kids played wouldn’t even walk down stairs the the old ones did cheaply made

Not what I wanted in my review

I didn't pay close enough attention to the size. The are MUCH small then I expected. Back in the day they worked on stairs. These do not! 😕

Pros
  • the materials were made well. didn’t seam to want to break without a week
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for individuals with sensory processing disorder or other sensitivities

Squirrel Freak-Out in my review

Lashed a couple of these together and threaded them over my shepherd's hook to keep the squirrels off the bird feeder. Worked like a charm!

Pros
  • Good ol’ slinkies. My grandsons love them. Be forewarned they are very small and won’t walk the stairs.
Cons
  • They tangle up very easy

Keep squirrels away from your bird feeders

These were a bit smaller than the "slinky” toy that we had as kids but worked perfectly for what we bought them for. We cooked them into the shepherds hook that holds our bird feeders so when the squirrels try to climb the post to get the bird food the ride the spring back down to the bottom. Saving a lot of money on bird seed and suet!

Pros
  • 3 years and up
Cons
  • Some individuals may consider it too simple or basic of a toy to be worth purchasing
