It seems to be quite a bit smaller in diameter than the old ones and there was not enough ength to carry it forward. Unless your stair treads are very narrow, you won't be able to get it to walk down. **Q: how many coils does this slinky has?** A: I counted 77 coils. Each is 2.5 inch in diameter. When compressed it is 2.25 inches long. Not long enough to perform as the original slinky **Q: Why is a 2 pack $56.37?** A: Yes, I was charged 49.99 for shipping! 5.85 for 2 , said the description.. I am fighting this, for sure **Q: does it work on (thickly) carpeted stairs?** A: Yes, as long as the stairs are short enough. Its likely that the carpet won't be the issue as much as the length of your stairs. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Original Slinky Walking Spring Toy, 2.75-inch Diameter Metal Slinky, Fidget Toys - Magnetic Personalities - Original Wooly Willy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1000200-the-original-slinky-walking-spring-toy-2-75-inch-diameter](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1000200-the-original-slinky-walking-spring-toy-2-75-inch-diameter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
