3XPOOF-Slinky Model #100 Metal Original Slinky in Box, Single Item, Silver Model: 100

6 year old grandson loved this. It went from top of stairs to the bottom

Slinky's are what they are, ordered a metal one thinking it would last better than plastic, however wasn't long before it got out of shape but children are rough

A genuine slinky, just how they used to be.Be aware of modern staircase compatibility, the slinky may not have changed, but your staircase may have done! Super wide stair treads are not a slinkys best friend!

Although I’d found a few options to choose from when researching a slinky for my 8yr old, I opted for this one because it claimed to be ‘just like the original’. I remember back in the mid 80s when you could play for hours getting a slinky to ‘walk’ down every stair in the house. It was terrific fun!This however is nothing like the original slinky. The gauge of the steel is too thick meaning there aren’t enough coils to give it the propulsion that’s needed. We struggled to get it to go down 2 steps, never mind 13!!In the eagerness to unwrap the gift, my son had torn the box to shreds, and this is the only reason we didn’t send it back for a refund.Very disappointing indeed.

Bought this for my grandson and it doesn't slink!.. Tried it on different stairs with standard tread depth but the best achieved is about 3 steps before it grinds to a halt. I don't think the spring is long enough. My granddaughter has this slinky and it works fine -  Wow Stuff Science Museum Giant Springy

GREAT SERVICE, QUICK DELIVERY, WELL PACKAGED BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT JUST DIDN'T WORK.

Comparing with memories of the original (back in the 70's it seems to lack the ability to descent stairs.

Perfect for what the children wanted
