The Original Slinky Walking Spring Toy, 3-Pack Metal Slinky, Fidget Toys, Party Favors and Gifts, Kids Toys for Ages 5 Up, Amazon Exclusive by Just Play

Following someone's suggestion, I bought these to put on a shepherd hook to keep the squirrels away. Well I had it slide down from the hook (connected 2 with zip ties), and here came a squirrel - no effect. BUT, when I slid the entirety back together and put it in one mass at the hook going up (again zip tied in place), there have not been any squirrels try it since! I don't know what they think it is, but they moved on to somewhere else, so GREAT for this!!

Just like the old days. Great toys, of course, but I bought them to make portable HF antennas. I'm a ham and these are perfect. Actually good for EFHW or Dipole antennas and you may have other ideas. Easy to solder to the end with just a little surface sanding. Look up Slinky Antennas and GET ON THE AIR.

I use this to keep squirrels off the bird feeders

They didn't walk our stairs as well as I remembered but they had fun with them.

Great for spoiling Squirrels who raid the Bird Feeders. Attach below a metal Baffel. Attach to the supports that hold up the Baffel.

Introducing the Slinky to my 4 y.o. great niece has been a blast! It's a great size, easy to use and durable. I love the low price point. We're having fun with this classic !

Works Great

These are not the original that I remember. It would not go down the stairs like my old Al boy could do. Not long enough and a smaller slinky in general.
