Summary: Well made
Comment: Flexible Flyer Snowball Maker is very well made. It is made with a very heavy plastic that makes this product very durable. Would highly recommend.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Works better than you would imagine ...
Comment: Perfect snow balls! We purchased one of these as well as the matching red plastic Flexible Flyer Snow Block Maker for our boys as well as kids in the neighborhood for Christmas -- when the snow comes they have great times building forts and having snowball wars :)
A great amount of fun for a surprisingly small amount of money.
Bon Appetit!

Summary: The kids had fun
Comment: My teenage son, who still comes in covered from head to toe after being out in the snow, received this in his stocking from Santa. He loved it and it provided hours of fun for him and his two younger siblings. Terrific value and very durable.

Summary: YES!
Comment: That's not any `ole yes but more like an 11 year old kid kind of YESSSSSSSSS!
Ok, I'm not 11 anymore, I just turned 40 and my girlfriend is 39. But we still know how to have fun. And playing in the snow is fun. Though when it came to throwing snowballs she was very outclassed. Now the odds are much more even and she knows it! Her main problem was lack of strength or endurance to hand pack the balls. Now she can pump them out at one a second and I'm finding myself ducking a lot more then I used to.
These things work great, PERIOD. You simply pull apart the handles to open up the ball making end, stick it in the snow and push the handles together. Pull the handles back apart and your new snow ball falls out. All you have to do to make another one is move slightly to fresh snow.
The only con is that the ends on both of ours are slightly out of alignment making a slightly non-perfect sphere but it really doesn't seem to matter too much. It's a small issue that just bugs me as an engineer.
And it really does only take about a second for a decent ball. Expect to spend maybe another second for a high quality ball that has just the right density. You can control the tightness of the ball by how much snow you grab between the ends; to make a tighter ball first make a basic one then grab more snow and close back down.
A big bonus is that the balls are right for play not war. My man hands tend to pack snow down to baseball consistency which my girlfriend didn't enjoy as much... with this tool the balls are light and more fun. Also they are more consistent which is more enjoyable because you know what's coming and don't tense up waiting to get clobbered by that one hard ball.
In summary: YESSSSSSSSS!!
