Not really impressed

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Overall Rating:

Pros: Small

Cons: Not very good build quality or quality control. Almost half of the 20 were not properly balanced and so couldn't point north reliably. One worked fine but had the decal reversed (It said north was south, etc.)

Other Thoughts: Even those that do work are very small, so they're not very practical.

Bottomline: Fun to play with, but poor quality.

Pros: Small size, cheap price

Cons: Only two of the twenty came close to working.

Other Thoughts: Not the item I'd want to use to find my way out of the woods. Even the ones that worked had to be tapped a little to get them to point north. Since I knew which way north was that wasn't a problem. Lost in the wilderness, how would one know when to stop tapping?

Bottomline: Give them a try since they are so affordable, but don't expect too much. Still kind of a neat novelty item even thought the function is marginal at best.

Pros: I know the size is clearly stated but when they arrived they look so tiny i ordered 100 of them,and then had an idea i stuck them on the small keychain flashlights and people loved them.

Cons: Need good eyesight to see them,but they are quite accurate.not much use in the middle of a jungle.

Other Thoughts: Kids love them,but not small children as they can be mistaken for sweets.

Bottomline: Crafts people or hobbiest will love these and i am sure you can think of a good use for them.
