Product Information
The Slinky is a classic spring toy, and this metal one will bring back fond memories of vintage varieties. It has a silver finish, and the metal construction gives that signature slinky sound. It measures approximately 3 inches in diameter and stands about 2.5 inches tall. You can set it to walk down a flight of stairs, bounce it around, or do tricks with it. This toy is appropriate for all ages five and up.Product Identifiers

Light weight with great features
This produce in multipurpose. I use it for fun with the family and to place around my bird feeder poles to keep the squirrels from the bird food! It works, just snip open the top and bottom of the slinky and wrap around the pole attach at the top with tie on. Squirrels hate the spring action and get down. Finally something that works.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice, but not as good as the original.
Based on my research, the original Slinky was composed of approximately 80 feet of coiled metal. My calculations on this one comes up with it being less than 60 feet. When trying to get it to "walk" down the stairs, the back end will inevitably flip over on it's side and be dragged over the upper step, disrupting the process. Does not make the same calming slinky sound that I remember from my childhood either.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fun as a kid, more as an oldster!
Made like the old days-stainless not cheap breakable plastic but a few people around the house hate it. My squirrel raiders were stealing the food out of my bird feeder and now they climb the coiled slinky until the weight drops them to the ground. They still get plenty of seeds as I throw them some. Fast delivery, thank you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The real thing
This is the original metal slinky; I bought it for my 7 yr old grandson to:1) play with slinky-style and, 2) can serve as an antenna for his crystal radio. Looks good, but I haven't actually played with it. Appears durable. JSVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

It works as a slinky.
If your looking for a slinky, it is as described. I bought it because a friend recommended it to use on my bird feeder pole to keep squirrels of the feeder.. I put it around the pole and let it hang down. One of them has figured out to get around it. If you are using it as a slinky, it works.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

WORKS FOR WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR AND BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.
WORKS JUST LIKE THE ONE I HAD AS A KID MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO! I DIDN'T BUY IT TO PLAY WITH, I BOUGHT IT TO KEEP SQUIRRELS FROM CLIMBING THE BIRD FEEDER POLE. THEY'RE COSTING ME A FORTUNE! HAVEN'T BEEN 100% SUCCESSFUL AT THAT, SOME DON'T LIKE TO CLIMB WITH IT ON THE POLE, AND SOME ACT LIKE IT ISN'T THERE. BUT I'LL KEEP TRYING.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Original Slinky Brand
We bought several of these to keep the squirrels off our bird feeders. So far they work great. We haven't had them up long enough to speak about if they are durable..Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
