Astrojax ~ Click Clacks

[pickinduck]

Do any of you have or understand Astrojax?
From what little I've seen they look like a new and improved version of the old Click Clacks, are they?

I used to have the old click clacks. We called them knee knockers. lol I haven't seen or played with the astrojax. They look interesting and should be safer than the old clackers. Don't know much about the clackers made back in the 90s but they were supposedly safer as well since the old, acrylic balls were known to shatter on occasion. Here's a few links about both of them:

I spent a lot of today studying both.
This is a good link for click clacks. Read down toward the bottom.

I guess they are a little similar. The Astrojax seem to be safer but not totally. The Astrojax seems like it would be funner to do then watch.

Didn't know that the old clackers were still being sold. The glow in the dark astrojax might be fun to watch when you turn off the lights.
