REVIEW:
Delivered! (3-4 days) 
Well I have to say I was quite surprised that they were just put in a large flat box with several other items I ordered, usually trueswords packages the items better... The packaging (lack of) left some small marks on them, but that's not a huge deal since I'll did worse about 10 mins out of the box.

They are 8" or 20 Cms  long and constructed of what appears infact to be aluminum. They are fairly solid so the weight comes to about 3Lbs or 1.3 kgs. The chain is standard 7 links so it doesn't get too tricky to maneuver these, which by the way is a pleasure, they are nice and quick by obviously pack more of a punch...of course if you don't care for striking they are shiny and make a wonderful show-off peice.

The U-swivel makes very very little noise and some wrist rolling reveals no pinch spots .

But there are always complaints...   

When I recieved mine the U-Swivel peice to the chain was waaaaaaay to wide so the link was on at an angle and would not allow for chucking of any sort. But a quick plier job set that straight (20 seconds).  My pair came with what appeared to be dried ejaculate on top of one of the sticks, later reasoning provided a more reasonable answer (polish w/e) either way it came (lol) off with a little dry scrubbing. Also it's probably just my nervousness but the U-swivel being secured with a screw going down through it and into the stick just worries me. one side is a little loose (very little) but since I can't get to it I can't tighten it or anything. I'm sure it'll be fine though.

Sorry for the messy review

Be careful - i've heard they can take teeth out!

They look good, but I'm skeptical since they're from an obscure company whose main focus is novelty prop weapons.

I have 2 pairs exactly like those but I purchased them from a different company. I quite like them.

I use them, my favorite!  Great weight and speed!

I just chucked a set of these out. If I'd of thought about it I would have gave them someone. As you may gather from chucking them out I wasn't all that keen. They just didn't deliver for me, the swivel feels unstable and 10 inches isn't enough for me.

Usually I do like a good u-swivel, but that is what this u-swivel lacks

I don´t know exactly the U-Swivel system in the practice. I never have performanced this kind of nunchaku, but I would say that it´s a great system. I´m sure that is better that ball-bearing  All the ball-bearing nunchakus I had were really very, very bad. When the balls are too much used, they begin to fail and the nunchaku does pulls, at least in my case. The U-Swivel looks a better system with difference. Personally, I use more the cord; it´s more flexible and goes very well. I also use the Chinese Nunchaku with chain (great) but my favourite system is the cord.
