Pros & Cons
Pros
This toy is great for teaching toppling, drifting, rigidity, and precession. The string winding takes time. Can place one on top of the other while spinning.
It is handy and works fine. Don't be fooled by the cheap price, these are excellent gyroscopes. Have lived up to the test of rough kids.
Gave this set to my grandson for his birthday. They are of a raw rustic look. My three very best pals are my son and grandchildren.
Cons
There is just too much unbalance and high vibration. Worst of all, the whole principle of a gyroscope is to spin a balanced mass around a tight and pricise axis so when this is bent it behaves like a washing machine.
Both gyros are problematic; heavy vibrations when spinning. The wheel of the gyro is not cast correctly. The supporting post axis is off center to the hub of the wheel.
