Teach physics without really trying! . The original Tedco gyroscope is great fun while it lasts, but you might want to invest in a heavier duty model--this particular one gets bent out of shape the first time you drop it on a hard surface. I give it four stars because it introduced me to the sheer wonder that is the gyroscope; everyone who plays with it is amazed and wants to know how it works. Get one for every kid in your family, and maybe all the neighbor kids too. Science was never more fun.

Chandler Gyroscope Reviews
Classic toy to impress your friends with science! . This is a really fun toy. I had one as a kid growing up, and had to buy myself another one. This one seems a bit less durable than I remember, if you pull hard on the string, the inner wheel jumps out of it's holes. I am fairly confident that Gyroscope is no longer made by the same company that used to make it. But its very fun, and very interesting. You will need to oil it though, to keep it working properly. Just 2 drops of multi-purpose oil does the trick.

Chandler Gyroscope Opinions
Not good quality . This is a very cheap toy. Poor finish, sloppy tolerances. Had a slight imbalance and would vibrate and lose speed quickly. The vibration makes most of the usual gyroscope tricks impossible.
Then it spun off the table and promptly broke. Perhaps that's why they offer the two-pack?

The original gyroscope . This is all you need if you want to have an introduction to gyroscopes. It is a simple gyroscope that will amaze kids with its ability to balance on a string, top of a pencil, finger (with a little practice) etc. y son has played with it enough to have worn out the string. That is more play time than some if not all of the other "educational" toys we have purchased (microscope included!). You can not go wrong with the price.
Great Classic Toy . I always had a gyroscope of some sort kicking around when I grew up and this is by far one my favorites. The plastic ones, no matter how durable, always seemed to break. This is one of the most durable metal ones I've come across. While it may not be completely educational in itself it will start that spark of curiosity to get kids to learn about how it balances. I've always been a fan of the more retro toys and still enjoy playing with gyroscopes, slinkys etc!
I would recommend getting some Replacement String as well, even though this version comes in a plastic case with kids it can sometimes be hard to keep the string and gyroscope in the same place!

Gyroscope . The gyroscope was shipped and received very quickly. The product was in excellent condition. Just like the ones I played with when I was younger. My nephew loved it. Thanks.
Cons Review
Gyro is a great gift . I've purchased several of these as gifts for children I mentor in the public school system. I like them because they are educational and durable and hopefully are an item the child will keep for a long time.
Do Not Buy . I know because I bought it. The gyroscope spins out of control and the string snaps on the first pull. The gyroscope is UGLY and DULL. I am Verry Disappointed and so will you if you get this. Do Not Buy it. It is made of lead and stains your finger when you toutch it. This Toy is Very Low Quality and it stinks. As I said Before Do not Buy.
Adult Fun . I gave this to my friend who is 75 and he is having a
blast with it. He ask for it for Christmas.
