Promising Review:- I have had a habit of body picking for 40-ish years, and now I am trying to break it. I selected this to keep my hands busy doing something healthy, when I would otherwise be hurting myself. And it has worked. It’s solid, but not heavy. It’s super quiet. Moves super smooth in my hands, and I seem to never get board with it. Small enough fit in front jeans pockets. Doesn’t distract anyone else when I use it. I love using it and how it is helping me to be healthier. –Joseph Iliff (@SeekOutWisdom)

Promising Review:- love this set. I sit at a desk most of the day doing pretty menial tasks, and I reach for these to keep me focused. they have a nice weight to them and i’d say the magnets are pretty strong. I did notice that my set came scratched (I got the oil slick ones), and the more I play with them, the more scratched up the color gets, especially at the magnetic ends. doesn’t bother me, but it might for some perfectionists out there. they do make a noise as well, also not a bother for me. I also have an ono roller and I like these better. think chinese baoding balls, but smaller and with magnets. the magnets are an intriguing factor for sure. –M
