this is my second crunchy caterpillar fidget cause my boyfriend’s got my other one. i was worried when i got my first one that i wouldnt like the texture but safe to say this is my go to fidget! it can be quiet and subtle when you need it, i often keep it in my pocket at work, but because of the crunch it can have some noise feedback if you like that too. definitely not for everyone but i’m happy to say this one’s for me :)
Not sticky at all, great texture and pleasant scent. The kids have claimed it already.
This cog rod is fantastic quality aussie product awesome turnaround perfectly weighted for sensory stimming and play have ordered from kaiko before they never disappoint 🤙
Coming into this review from a really different place than what a lot of the other reviewers appear to be coming from so I especially wanted to review for anyone else looking for these tools. I'm not on the spectrum, but have diagnosed C-PTSD, PTSD with dissociation and I've got an eating disorder. Part of my struggle with PTSD is BFRB's. I have a tendency to pick and bite my skin and nails, pull my hair out and pick my nose until I've damaged far up into my nasal passage and give myself frequent blood noses. I've been getting a really focused mental health care approach the last year or so especially, and since receiving my diagnosis and a lot more support, I was put into a number of therapy programs that teach me how to come back into my body. I'm doing fairly well with handling my PTSD now but the struggle is still with my BFRB's. I've given myself Paronychia twice in the last 8 months from biting my fingers (antibiotics, ugh) and I kind of landed on this website after my therapist gave me a sniff box. I felt a little silly being some place in public sniffing away at it until I realised that I got myself through the episode and was able to put away my sniff box and resume my normal activities and that's what prompted me to find more tools. I love the range Kaiko has because it helps me to think of things I could use that I wouldn't necessarily have done in the moment but still do the job pulling me out of the harmful behaviour. Another thing that matters to me a lot, which might sound really strange, is that they don't leave a smell on my hands? I hate hate hate the smell of metal on my skin and I really like that I can use my fidgets as needed and put them back into their tin (more on that) and go back to my usual activity. Another cool thing is that they come in their own tins and I think that's great for keeping them safe but they're also really amazing quality and heavy so it keeps everything else safe around them too. Great for popping in your bag and you know you won't damage whatever's in there. I actually find myself packing a bigger bag when I leave the house just to be able to accommodate my fidgets because I do, in fact, need them.
I bought two items when I got the Spikey Hand Roller and I didn't expect to love this one the most but the ouch factor of this stops me from pulling my hair out entirely, I love it. Thank. you so much, absolutely worth the price tag.

This one in particular I've used a little less because the Spikey Hand Roller I got in the same order has had more use, I loved that one a little more than I expected, but this one is equally as good. It's got a full set of the little black bullets and a full set of the little rainbow bullets that you can switch out based on your colour preference, I suppose. And then it has the option for you to add or remove bullets to your preference, I found I liked them a little lopsided so that I could feel the pull of it when it spun and that seemed to distract me better than having an even number of the bullets in there. t's also basically silent so I'm assuming for someone who might need to be a bit more discreet - maybe you're at work or something. This would be perfect. A very well thought out and constructed product. I love it. Thank. you so much, absolutely worth the price tag.
This kit is absolutely amazing I love it. the bracelets are my favorite. Will be definitely buying additional parts.
I was a bit nervous about this one initially as it is quite expensive, but I honestly really like it. One thing I didn't realise before I bought it is that the cubes can't flip in every direction. The way they're jointed means there's only a specific way they can flip in each configuration. It's possible to realise that from the product photos/videos, so it's on me for not noticing. That was a little bit disappointing to me at first. However, the infinity cube is so pleasant and easy to hold and flip around that I found myself using this fidget way more than I expected. It has a really nice heft to it and it feels lovely and cool. The oil slick texture is sort of rubbing off a bit in places, which is slightly disappointing if only from a quality-control perspective, but it doesn't really bother me. Overall, I like it!
I added this to my cart on a whim but I ended up really loving it, haha! If you're a fan of the sound of mechanical keyboards then this is a great one. The keycaps are removable and I imagine you could replace them with your own keycaps if you wanted. Don't be concerned if the cap comes off, it's meant to! I did remove the keychain as I didn't intend to use it as one and the keyring sort of got in the way, but that was easy to do. Beware that this one is super loud so definitely not for use in quiet public spaces lol.
I quite like this one; it's a great size and the wood feels nice. However, the ball doesn't roll super smoothly, and if I'm rolling it with my fingers while it sits in my palm, it occasionally catches and pinches my skin. It's quite easy for the ball to get stuck and stop moving unless you poke it back in place. I think this is a great idea but the form of the fidget could be altered a little to make it smoother to use.
I have one of the original textured hand rollers and love it a lot. I wanted to give the spikey one a try for the 'ouch' factor. My other hand roller is quite a bit heavier, so at first I wasn't sure if this one would feel too light, but the 100g is actually the perfect weight to sit in my hand with a little heft without feeling heavy. The 'ouch' sensation is sharper than I thought it would be, which is perfect, as I also worried that it might be too dull.
I will say that the other hand roller feels 'smoother' to me from a textural perspective. The spikes on this one have a slight catch to them against my skin that makes holding it feel slightly 'drier'. I'm not quite sure how to explain that sensation - I might compare it to the difference between running my hands over polished metal vs unpolished metal. That takes a bit of getting used to, and I'm not sure if it's an effect of the black vs the oil slick or if it's just a result of the spikes, but it doesn't bother me much. On the whole, this is one of my favourite fidgets and it's exactly what I needed it to be. :)
The silicon feel on these is incredibly soft and smooth. There's a slight amount of give on the corners and edges which makes it not QUITE a 'squishy' but has a similar effect. It's reasonably quiet, and can be fidgeted with quietly, but also can create a pleasant 'snap' sound if connected from a distance. The whole stack fits pleasantly in my palm. One thing I forgot is that magnets only connect at one end (lol) so you can't flip a piece and instantly reconnect it to the stack, the poles have to be aligned properly, so not as smooth a flipping experience as I'd anticipated. But that's totally on me hahaha! Thought I'd mention it in case anyone else also needs to come back to science class with me :') Overall love this one. I originally was going to wait for the Speks Odds to come back in stock but I was convinced by Kaiko's videos of the MagStak to give it a shot instead. I'm really glad I decided to get it, I think the size and feel of it is much more my speed.
Did not come with tweezers and they are a one time use only. Wouldn't purchase again.
Hi there, we're sorry to hear you are disappointed. These are designed to support not frustrate eek. The Thread Pick ‘Em Stack do not come with tweezers. Only our Starter Kit does. We do have tweezers available separately. Our Pick 'Em range are designed to pair with our Put 'Em Putty, adding the items removed into putty for use again and again. We do not use remeltable silicone as it is dangerous and can combust. The possibility of fire simply not something we are prepared to risk. :) Jo
I do like my exercise eggs, only using the softest one at the moment but I feel it is helping my hand arthritis. Early days yet, hopefully as I progress over the coming weeks things will improve further. Thank you for a fine product.
Definitely the best Squeezy I have. My cat loves it too, she takes off with it anytime she is able to get a hold of it.
I love how it glows in the dark and how it goes back to the tear drop shape when you finish using it. The little stand is fabulous too. My all time favorite.
Love it, has a really satisfying weight and solidity… and looks great with the rest of my growing oil slick collection 😸
Love the Mega Gyroscope, looks even better spinning next to little brother Gyroscope 😸
You packed the wrong one, you put the rainbow one instead of the oil slick one.
eek, so sorry for error. Keep that one and Ill send correct one tomorrow. Always reach out if there is an issue, we were unaware of hiccup. Hope you love both :) JO
