Pros: These fun metal chopsticks are handy to throw into a backpack for when you might need a pair to eat with. As a college student who eats out a lot I would rather use these than the wooden ones that are given out most places.
Cons: When using they often come loose at the connection point and require re-tightening. Can be noisy as they jingle in their case. Some foods can be hard to eat due to the very slick surface of the chopsticks. The ridges shown in the grasping end are not very deep and do not provide the grip some foods require.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: A handy and unique utensil set. Can start a conversation with your friends. Allows you to be more ecologically friendly by reusing over and over!
had to buy more for gifts!

Pros: lightweight, compact, stays clean in my purse, the plastic insert keeps them from rattling.
Cons: the screw threads on my pair are a little bit wobbly but this doesn't affect their usefulness. one the second order i placed, one out of three pairs the pocket clip arrived detached - i don't use it anyway
Other Thoughts: had to buy more for some of my coworkers who envied their usefulness and i ended up getting extra just to save and give as gifts in case i need them later. the low price is worth keeping a couple of pairs on hand
Bottomline: VERY useful
Nice chopsticks!

Pros: These are some really nice chopsticks, for a really cheap price! The casing looks really nice, and people might think you paid a lot of money for these :)
Each stick is in 2 pieces which you simply screw together. It's quite simple.
Cons: Some have complained that they rattle a bit inside the case. This is true, and it would seem that the case is actually a bit too large for them. If you simply stick some tissues or something into the top part of the case, this will stop the problem nicely (maybe stick some in the bottom too).
Other Thoughts: I don't really know how to use chopsticks, so I bought these to learn :)
Bottomline: Even if you don't usually eat with chopsticks, these are too good of a deal to pass up, and it's fun to use.
Excellent deal

Pros: -Great price.
-Collapsible.
-Metal.
-Perfect size and weight.
-Easy to clean.
Cons: -I ordered two sets. One of them didn't work very well, and it wouldn't screw together.
-The case that comes with it is very cheap.
Other Thoughts: Sometimes the metal chopsticks can get hot if you touch the tips after placing them in hot food.
Not much else to say, considering that they are just chopsticks. I don't know why I need 500 characters...
Bottomline: Good buy. Order two just in case one works better than the other, give the other one to a friend.
