Very pleased with both the product I purchased and the customer service of Karate Depot. I will definitely do business here again.

Great product, I got the 24'. I was expecting to 'get what I paid for', and hoped for the best. Was beyond my expectations. Like everyone says, the chain does rattle when inside, stealth this is not. The end the chain goes in is a small hole, on it is a disk that prevents the swivel from coming out. I tried to catch the swivel in the lip of the hole, but it pops into place every time, so you can expect the chain length to be the same every time. It would be difficult, at best to put anything down inside to quite it, if you did get it in there, it probably won't come back out. The chuck itself is well constructed, if you held a mag lite(w/o batteries) it almost feels the same. These are fast chucks and lighter than wood, but not as fast as speed chucks built for the purpose. The ends are knurled for grip. Make sure to tighten well before using in stick form or it will loosen up after a couple of swings and could possibly damage the threads. It takes about 3 or 4 twist to open, one if you roll wrap your arms around it. It goes together very much like a pool stick. Lastly, would like say karatedepot.com delivered as I expected.   Permalink

I have not tried it yet but there is a simple fix for the nagging clanging of the chain inside the chucks when retracted. Find a neoprene/spandex sleeve that can be stretched over the chuck handles and chain. This should do a pretty good job of sound muffling and not have any adverse effect on the operation and flexibility. It probably won't eleminiate it but make a vastly improved difference.  Permalink

These Nunchakus are very nice I thought they were heavy, but they are pretty light. they have improve my speed. I plan on doing more business with karatedepot as well.

Its good because you can hide it easier then you can with a regular nunchucks with out anyone seeing it.  Permalink

The idea of these are a lot better than actually having them. The rattling is annoying and the swivels aren't what I would call perfect. But all in all a decent chuck.


If your a beginner then I would suggest a wooden style with a cord, or perhaps a wooden one with a chain.  Permalink

This is a nice set with good weight. The only problem I had was when I tried to use the nunchucks in batton form...the chain rattles A LOT and it is quite annoying after a while. Otherwise this is a nice set of heavy metal chucks, and good for daily workouts.  Permalink

These are heavy nunchucks, but after using hardwood nunchucks these are just a small step up from hardwood nunchucks. They also do not have as much give as hardwood nunchucks when you strike something with them. The only thing I dislike is when using them screwed together as one piece, the chain rattles a lot. But other than that they seem to do great, same fast speed and all.  Permalink

I was psyched about buying these, but they are really not as good as they seem. The aluminum shell is far to heavy and thick to make these anything but cumbersome, and the swivel and chain system is not quite as jerk-free as I thought it would be. You'd have to have a grip like a steel vise to handle them well. The chain also rattles annoyingly when you practice with them as batons. They will, however, get you more acclimated to using regular hardwood nunchaku.  Permalink
