Ratings & Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by QuincyMaid from Nice Project, Could Use Better Directions We purchased these for summer classes. The kit is very nice, and there is sufficient para-cord to make the bracelets. The completed bracelet fits even an adult wrist, so there were no worries there. Our only complaint is that the directions did not include instructions on how to finish the ends once the second half of the buckle is attached. It says to knot the ends securely, but a picture would be helpful so as not to end up with a lumpy knot.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kteacher2013 from Terrible I bought these for summer camp and they do not work! The directions are so vague. It is impossible to put together. The supplies listed are not what you get. So upset I wasted money on these. Buyer beware you will be greatly disappointed.

Rated 2 out of 5 by 01katmar from Most of the compasses don't work My Girl Scout troop made these to sell at a craft fair, trying to raise money for a trip. People are not going to buy something that doesn't work. 9 of the compasses don't work

Rated 3 out of 5 by Molyolmo from 50/50 on the good/bad meter I bought these for a cub scout activity to illustrate knots and compasses. The instructions were vague and confusing. It easily frustrated most of my boys. Those who got it helped the others which turned a bad into a good. The compasses were for show mostly but when done, the boys liked the bracelets.

Rated 3 out of 5 by janmt from Would be 5 stars with small improvements I bought this for a cub scout project. There are three BIG shortcomings. (1) Contents are not accurately depicted. (2) one long piece of paracord should have been included, not two and, as others have mentioned, (3) the directions are AWFUL. CONTENTS: The contents are not listed accurately. The description says, "Includes three 41" nylon paracords". The picture shows two cords two cords are actually included. The lengths are 30" and 62". As for quality, one of the clasps did not hold, but an extra was included. The compasses don't work well, but I did not expect much. PARACORD LENGTHS: Every set of directions on making these I've found uses ONE length of cord. Not only are two lengths unnecessary, it makes finishing very messy. No reason to have four cut ends instead of two. There is NO benefit for two lengths. DIRECTIONS: They are awful. They show you how to tie the knots in the middle. Not how to start OR finish. Really awful. I've been so pleased with other purchases. This was a real let down.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Evie2 from Loved the producted. However. Loved my finished product. But I had to go to the internet to find instructions on how to make them into the finished project. The instructions where less than satisfactory on how to finish the project and make it look anything like the picture. It did show how to tie a a good square not, but thats about all.

Questions & Answers

Does the compass really work or is it fixed?

Asked by: VBS2015

It does work, but as you would expect isn't high quality. We made them for cub scouts and their readings were roughly the same, but they had to tap them repeatedly to get the compass to spin into place sometimes.

how many bracelets with compasses does this kit include?

At one place it seems to have one compass, but at another point it says it makes 12.

Clarification

The product details say "three 41" nylon paracords" and the picture shows a camo cord and a solid green cord. From what I've read you need about ten feet of cord to make a bracelet, less for a child. What exactly is included in each of the twelve kits? I'm hoping there is one long piece of cord for each kit but the description doesn't sound like that. I know how to make the bracelets if there is one long piece of cord but not if it is in three pieces and it sounds like the directions are non-existent. Thank you!!!!

Asked by: janmt

Answering my own question since no one else did. It comes with two pieces of cord (which is stupid). One is 30" and the other is 62"
