Toys and Games Reviews of Precision Gyroscope

Customer Review: Needed some oil at first, but works great!
Summary: 5 Stars

Got this for Christmas (Yes I'm a grown up kid). Worked good for a few spins, then started making a horrid sound and spinning everything, which a proper gyroscope shouldn't do. To fix this, I got out some household 3-in-1 oil and oiled the top and bottom where the metal met the plastic. Huge improvement, even from what I was getting out of the box.

I timed it, and my unit (after oiling) will stay up on the included pedestal for nearly 4 minutes using the string. With the pull cord, it's shorter, at around 2 1/2 minutes. You'll find with the pull cord the gears just can't handle a strong pull and slips some, whereas the string has no option to slip.

I'd definitely recommend this for kids and adults alike, I've had other gyroscopes and they don't stay up like this one!

Description of Precision Gyroscope

Perform gravity defying tricks with the Tedco Precision Gyroscope! -- This is the most precision designed toy gyroscope on the market. You can perform amazing tricks with this gyroscope, and it's easy! -- To begin, simply hold the frame, and thread the included cord through the gyroscope axle. Wind the cord around the axle while turning it with your thumb and index finger. With a firm grip, pull the cord away from the gyroscope. Hold the frame and push the included T-handle starter strap through the frame and the wheel. Making sure the strap aligns with the gear of the axle, pull the strap away from the gyroscope. -- Tiny ball bearings and near perfect balance keep the gyroscope spinning for several minutes. Durable enough for classroom demonstration.
