==================================================================
Imagine all the fun you could have playing with this gigantic beach ball. Looks just like the classis 3 color beach ball, but supersized. Inflates from 12' flat to about 9 to 10 feet diameter when fully inflated.
- Extra thick, 30 mm vinyl material
- Bright colors
- Great for parties, the beach
- Includes an emergency patch kit
- Large valve for quick and easy inflation/deflation
This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. It's not a 12 foot beach ball, though it is pretty big. It's also made of cheap plastic.
We got two large beach balls in the same order, one from US Games, and this one from Big Mouth Toys. The US Games ball is made of heavy plastic, it has a nice rope attached to it, and it is the stated size.
This one was a disappointment. It's a nice, large ball—but the plastic is just a slightly heavier version of the usual beach ball plastic; it won't hold up very well, I fear. (It is also very static-y, which for us is a plus - we intended to use it for motion experiments, but we'll use it for static electricity experiments instead.) And it is NOT 12 FEET ACROSS. It's 8 feet, perhaps 9. If you look at the picture, you can see that it is clearly edited. I am not sure where they got the 12 foot number. This isn't the radius, the diameter or the circumference.
So, it's kind of cool, but it's not very sturdy and it is not as big as advertised. We'll keep it because it does great static stuff. But if you want a large ball to play with on the beach, don't get...
2. The hit of the party
Got this for our community event at a farm and the kids loved it. Need large open space and wind can be a challenge.
Need more appointment... ?
A marvelous decoration
I got this ball to use as a display piece at our family fun entertainment center. Nice to look at, makes us look cooler, technically available for tickets while we don't realistically expect that to happen for a long time. I haven't cared to measure what actual size it is (since other reviewers claim it's not 12"), but it definitely does the job I wanted it to do. There were some awkward things about it, though. First, The "repair kit" is just a tiny square of plastic you can cut to repair very tiny holes. For the size, this is not likely to be very useful, as any punctures you get will probably be much larger.
Second, it specifically says not to use an air compressor. I don't know what kind of power they're expecting anyone to use with their air compressors, but ours provided about 60 psi without any problems. It took me about 90 mins. to blow the thing up with that, largely because the nozzle is RIDICULOUSLY HUGE! I had to use some putty to plug up the extra space so I...
