OSKAL Fly Swatter with Wire Handles 2 Pack, Assorted Colors

I purchased this product as a prop for a dance. It was wonderful as a prop! However, when I used it in the studio to actually kill a fly it failed miserably. This product is flimsy and light. If you are looking for a great prop this product is for you; if you are looking to actually use this product you may want to consider another flyswatter.

We needed something quick to swat the flies that seemed to be mutating in volume in our backyard this summer. I haven't used a fly swatter in years, but I was running out of rolled newspapers and magazines and the deet spray wasn't working. The package arrived with 2 fly swatters, orange in color, and ready to beat down the swarm near the screen door. On the very first hit, it got several of them pesky little things, but apparently the force of the swing was a little too hard and the plastic grip on the end of the handle flew off as well. It slid back on easily and continues to pop off with each swinging impact. I'm sure super glue would keep it in place but I will need to purchase that next on Amazon, as we don't have any in the house. So all things said, it worked well but was fairly flimsy.

As far as a home found weapons of mass destruction go these are sure to be a flyers Armageddon. They do what they came to do. There's a lot of flies in my little cabin here and my hands were just not fast enough. At first I made something homemade to help squat the Flies but it didn't hold up after about 30 swatson disintegrated. These have helped me kill about 400 or more flies and I suppose my next step would be to buy a vacuum cleaner get their dead bodies off the floor. Anyway it does what it came to do in the flies live in fear of me once again.

The way to get a fly is to be fast. As you quickly swing this, the wire bends. It’s not sturdy enough to be consistently reliable. Probably best to comparison shop for a different one.

They're just fly swatters, so what can go wrong, right? To begin with, the handles are pretty short, so inhibits reach. Also, the swatters fly off the handles - you can put them right back on, but it's annoying. These were very cheap - you get what you pay for.

The metal in the handle is not sturdy enough. Will bend as you “swat” at flys. Top part of handle also does not stay glued well. Overall they are trash.

The handle is shorter than I would have liked.

One get what you pay for since this was a two pack and the price was low I bit, unfortunately the steel wire that i assumed would be the strongest part of the Swatter is the weakest link in the products design. If you swat with speed and strength the wire bends in the middle. i use my swatter for black widows, scorpians and roachs if they wander up on the patio. I need these creatures dead without failure of the killing product. On a positive note I can still use the device just need to hit the offender three times versus once.
