Pros & Cons
Pros
It will still balance on a string or pencil point. The only down side is the paint comes off the shaft.
Cons
Not a fitting end for a 12-year old libation. Korean * laborers really need to work harder at making better quality * to sell us on amazon. Don't waste your money, and don’t ruin your nostalgia.
The toy gyroscope comes apart and the spinning part flys out. This means that it is not balanced so it flops over almost amelidity. Close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes.
Broke within minutes of first using it. Will be returning. String is too short and frays right away. Can't return due to the policy.
Highlights
Quality
I had hoped for the same quality we had as kids
Packaging/appearance
If you feel a need to lubricate the bearings use graphite dry lubricant

Unfortunately he was able to break the cord and pull the rotor from the frame within 20 min

But on the good side he learned how to put it back together and how hard not to pull the cord

This is just a simple old fashioned gyroscope that is started by pulling a string that one winds up on the spoke
