## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Disappointing problems assembling the item
*by A***R on 18 June 2021*

In assembly instructions you are repeatedly told to carefully remove burrs so that cogwheels will work. We carefully removed them, but still the device didn't work, presumably because we did not do this to the required level of precision. SoPros: I learned what the word burr meansCons: Despite careful assembly the device didn't workClearly, based on the instructions, this is a repeating problem. If the stem experiment here is to disassemble the device and use a nail file again and again to smooth the plastic pieces, then this isn't what the packet says.
