Product Description

Enticing, Flowing, Addictive, Mysterious Desktoys... Need some mental stimulation but bored with searching for it at the bottom of your coffee cup? Tired of mindlessly reaching for those corporate logoed squishy balls? The Tangle will solve your problems.... Technically, a Tangle is a series of 90 degree curves, connected and able to pivot at each joint. It has no beginning and no end- just continuous motion. Natural motion. Experientially, a Tangle is much more. The motion it creates is hypnotic. People across the Universe of all ages can't seem to put the toy down. And when you do eventually put it down, it becomes art to envigorate your visual senses with the different abstract patterns you can create... "So, Hey ThinkGeek! What's the difference between the original and junior tangles? We are so glad you asked. They are both chrome finished. The original is much bigger and is made of plastic, while the junior is much smaller and made of die cast metal. The original is more of a desktop piece of art that really stands out while maintaining a high fun factor. The little one is more of a fidgety stress relieving device to keep your hands busy with the complex motions a tangle invites. The junior would be perfect for the 'anxious' person who may also be a chronic doodler. The original would suit somebody who is looking to increase the visual appeal of their environment. Either one is a blast to play with. Undecided? Get both and get happy....

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, I have NEVER touched anything cooler!, March 30, 2007

BUY IT!!! If this thing even appeals to you a little, you will NOT be dissapointed.

I bought my two year old a Tangle Jr. (plastic) because I heard it was so great for sensory development. *I* became addicted and could not put it down!!!! Now, I can not stop myself from picking one up when I see it. They are just so affordable I keep saying "Oh, now I have one for the car." "I'll give this one as a gift." "I don't have this color yet." I am in love with this product!!! (I'm an adult by the way, and haven't bought myself a "toy" in decades.)

I went to the Tangle website and saw this chrome one. I knew I HAD to have it. From the moment I opened the box and felt it I knew that this was the COOLEST, most irresistable thing I've ever owned in my life. No lie. I sneak it around with me everywhere, and my daughter knows it's "Mommy's toy." :) I tell everyone I know about how much I love them, I'm a groopie!

Also, the customer service at the Tangle company is superb. If you have a problem, they will fix it. They want you to be happy no matter what. So it's worth every cent. They back up every product they sell with an unconditional LIFETIME gaurentee, so if you think yours is "loose" or not right for some reason, they will replace it. There is no risk.

Now my problem, I've got to justify buying the bigger ones.

LOVE IT!

The original price of this item is very misleading. $66.00 is the price of a museum sized chrome tangle. The chrome tangle junior is available for about $13.50 any time from Tangle. I thought it would be bigger, at least the standard size.

I have Trichotillomania--an impulse control disorder where I pull my hair out. It's very difficult to stop my body from doing damage to myself like this, I could be yelling at myself to stop but do it anyway. It's uncontrollable, and has no cure. The only therapy those with trich have is finding ways to keep our hands busy and away from our hair. I've tried many things and they usually only work for a week, tops. Mostly because what ever method I use is simply inconvenient.

My chrome tangle came in the mail today! This thing is doing it's job and keeping my hands really busy. It's always with me so if my hand goes up near my eyes (I pull my eyelashes) I fill it with my tangle instead and it keeps my hand down. Plus, if it is in my hand (my left pulls the most) it makes it hard to pull because my hand is full. I may have had it only for a day but I already know that simply because I can take this with me to class without causing a huge distraction (like with my dummy blade balisong knife, can't even use that on campus!) it will really help me for a long time. It's also small and will fit in my pocket/purse and I won't draw too much attention if I'm using it at places like a restaurant or computer lab around people who don't know me.

If you have Trichotillomania, or you are a skin-picker (known as Dermatillomania)I highly recommend you get this. It's heavy, perfect size, and moves very smoothly, it helps me so much already! I didn't pull at all today!
