JA-RU Classic Yo Yo for Kids and Adults 1986-8p

I had a yearning for one of these things and as I looked around my neighborhood, I didn't see kids playing them anymore, seems like iPhone and computer kill the joy found in product such as this. I looked back through my youth and thought of the fun we had with these things. The modern upgrades made to them such as added colors, batteries with fancy lights and varied styles sent me back to my youth, so I bought some to hand out to the kids at Halloween. I bought a couple for myself, and I still have the knack and can feel the fun playing them. An enjoyable product to bring back. Instruction videos are available on YouTube, for those who forget how to install new strings, how to wind the string and proper hold and release. Try one and have fun

I purchased 48 for a Fun day for our school. None would work till one of the teachers figured out that the yo-yo had to be taken apart and the string wound around the peg. There were no directions of this sort on the package. Then at least 50% fell apart or broke in 15 minutes. What a disappointment for the children and especially me. I would not recommend the purchase of this product.

This was a good example of mechanical energy in a forms of energy lab.

Sadly a complete waste of money. Some of the yo-yos will not wind, some fell apart in my hand and some will not return. NONE a of the entire pack I bought for over $40 work! Total disappointment. Unfortunately, I didn’t open the box to test them until after the return window closed. Every single one went into the trash just now.

GOOD QUALITY

Bought these for a mission trip to hand out to kids. Packaging is good and they look like they are a great value, however they don’t work at all. They spin so freely It’s very hard to roll up the string and once you throw it you can’t get it to come back up. I had several kids give them to me in frustration asking for help, but after spending a lot of time I just gave up. Looks like a good value but don’t waste your money.

Kids love them

then these are for you! The string is not attached to anything on the axle, so winding it up is ridiculous and challenging for anyone. And then because it's not attached, once it reaches the bottom, there's nothing to catch the yo-yos momentum to cause it to snap back up. I thought these would be great for gifting during the holidays, but it was a huge waste of money.
