i would absolutly love to have a pair of click clacks

I busted my lip one time with CLick Clacks! They came with a plastic wrist protector but for some reason all the kids I knew got carried away and clacked all up the face with these.. One word Awesome.

I remember Click clacks. I had a pair (I LOVED THEM) and they weren't made of hard plastic with a safe plastic handle and we didn't have safety gloves either. They were made of glass balls and flimsy string. You had to be a Ninja master to use them to not kill yourself or anyone near you. They were dangerous, I think that's what added to the fun, I had so many bruises on my hands, knuckles and wrists. Ah, the good old days.

I love click clacks! would LOVE to buy 3.

there so beautiful lol

i love click-clacks im 12 years old and i am a master at them but im not as good as my mom, shes incredible, i counted her do it as many as 70 times, i can never do that, my high score is 43. i was just playing with them and i wanted to know more about them so i looked them up and found this website. click- clacks are amazing.

I would love a pair, they were fun!

As a kid, I once had a pair of Click-Clacks. It was one of my favorite toys. Looking back now, they were dangerous which is why they stopped making them. But sometimes, I wish I still had a pair.

I had a pair when I was about 15. I remember walking down the highschool hall way clacking away and gosh did they make some racket LOL. I had to throw them away because they had a huge crack in them LOL ... neat toy. My DD was watching Drake & Josh and they were playing with a pair LOL. Oh well.....

We all had them on the block,,it was real summer fun,and every summer we got a new set of click-clacks.I remember my cousin johnny cracked my friend joey over the head with them,My uncle had to pay for the kids stiches,needless to say we had to hide them after that day.

We had a bet,i bet this kid that i could throw the click clak like a bolo weapon,we were at the pizza store,i was spinning them around above my head and let go,it flew and landed in the pot of marinara sauce in the pizzaria.Frank the owner was so mad ,he made us fold up pizza boxes the whole summer and didnt pay us.

Loved them! Always remembered them being called Ka Bangers

I'm 46 now and used to have a pair of glass ones when I was a kid. Found a pair at a rummage sale last month for almost nothing and played with them all day. Stopped for fear of breaking them since. Plan on framing them now, maybe selling them.

For anyone interested they are selling Click Clacks out of The Vermont Country Store Catalog for $9.95 a pair!

MY click clacks were beautiful see thru red glass. God I loved them... I loved the noise they made. My grandmother bought them for me and hid them on numerous occassions too much noise, sore knuckles no bruises. The good old days

I still have my click clacks. They are purple classic ones on flimsy string. They weren't really made out of glass, they were made out of acrylic. Last time I tried I could still click and clack. They have to be at least 39 years old.

Correction. I was thinking I was 10 when I got mine, but I wasn't. I must have been 11 if they came out in 1970. So mine are only 38 years old. LOL!

I had a pair of Click Clacks when I was in 5th Grade , we use to bring them to school. I'm 45 now, so that was way back when.....lol...They were green and I absolutely loved them...I want to get another pair..What memories.

love those click clacks i always try to describe this toy to my children, they were awesome i lived in new york, in the 70s lol. they were a dangerous toy, i always had bruises on my arms and they could knock you out unconcoius but they were a lot of fun, the noise was very exciting and the colors were mesmericing i wish they were available now, the problem is that with this violent society, they would be a weapon. lol

Hello everyone, I had about 4 pairs of the click clacks. I had a pair of green, orange, red, and a glitter purple pair if I can remember. Well yes I used to put a towel around my arm and click away I had burised on my arm from this toy i used to turn my head away close my eyes and click away. I remember my mom would say stop that clicking thank you to the person who mentioned the vermont store I'm goin to purchase a pair. The cite bought back a lot of memories of old toys.

I had a pair of orange-gold glitter pair, and I also loved them. I know Moma still has them somewhere, as she never throws anything away. I am a 60 model (born 1960, ha!), so if I could find em they'd be really old! For anyone who has their originals, I bet they'd sell for big bucks on E-Bay. Has anyone seen what the old, silver Christmas trees were selling for. . . . Ya know those that had the colored light that sat on the floor and turned back and forth!? ha! How I long for those good ole days! Sheila from OK

Click Clacks were not a toy of the 80s but the 70s. I remember them well :-)

We refered to these as "Clackers". I'm looking for the toy of the 50's that had 5 or 6 plastic blocks connected by some type of straps like elastic. Trying to find them for my grandkids.

The click clacks was and still is my favorite toy. Thanks for the info on the Vermont Store I bought me a pair.

i always wanted clackers. but i really want the classic ones but i will have to buy the ones from the Vermont country store

I remember these being banned at my school almost immediately. They were fun, though.

OMG thank you SO much for the reference to th vermont country store. im totally gonna have 2 get some! thx again

Bart- i read your comment, and the toy you are looking for is called jacobs ladder, and i recently purchased one for my children at a local toy store. If you are still looking, i hope i was able to help you in your search.

Click clacks we soooo cool. I loved the sound and even tolerated getting bruises on my wrists just to hear that sound.

The glass versions were pulled off the market not because of bruises or stiches to the user; but mostly because they had a tendency to chip, and the glass slivers caused injury or blindness to countless victims. It happened to a girl on my street in the very early 70's...

I have a great memory of Kabangers (that's what we used to call them in NJ)! My family was on the boardwalk in Asbury Park and there was a stand where you could win them - the really nice colorful glass ones. My sis and I begged my Dad to win us some. Well, we tried but we couldn't win. I will never forget walking away from the stand hearing the clacking all the way down the boardwalk. We were so sad! So we ended up getting them at another time - they weren't the glass ones - mine were Neon Pink & Neon Yellow. Man, the bruises I had on my arm. I can still feel the pain of that ball hitting the side of my wrist bone!! I would play until I couldn't take the pain anymore until I got smart and used my roller skating knee pads as a wrist guard. Then there was no stopping me...well until my parents couldn't stand the noise anymore! I want a glass pair!!!

www.timewarptoys.com has the original glass ones, 38.00 ea. or 30.00 ea for 3 or more. The ones from Vermont Store are unbreakable and work the same. Had em when I was a kid, and have just as much fun with them now!

I still have mine and they are still awesome. I came across a site selling the originals for 50 bucks a pair. They claim to have a black pair for sale for 125.00. I still have my purple ones. I'm 40 now. Jeeeez, these things have got to be at least 32 years old. wow. . . feelin' my age over here but it's nice to be able to pull 'em out and feel the nostalgia when I hear the sound they make. I'm still good with them too. Clocked myself at over 100 hits both top and bottom. I still got it! CRAWESOME!!! (crawesome = crazy awesome) :)

Gee, i'd never sell my black Click clacks for anything. I'm 40 and got my firt Click clacks for Christmas 1973 [Wow How time flies!!!!], seems like yesterday. My sister took them once from my box and she busted her head and needed 6 stitches. AWWWW the memories - Hey now how about those stretch arm strongs? anyone ever see inside? i did we cut it in half!

Got my click clacks that came when you ordered a large pizza at Shakeys in Littleton Co. My sister and i fought over them so much that my Dad went and bought another pizza so we both could have a set...geez seems like yesterday ! Oh and i just found a set of the them at a garage sale for $3.00 how cool is that !

I actually still have my original, glass Click Clacks.

I am 42 years old and I had one of the original click clacks. I wish I still had it. I could make that thing fly! I remember they came out with one that was covered in some kind of explosive powder like you find in caps from a cap gun and every time you connected they would fire like a cap gun. Ohhhh, the good old days. Wish I still had those things!!

This is really awesome I didn't realize how many people loved "Click Clacks", this was our thing in the Bronx/Mount Vernon, NY. We took them to school (got in trouble of course) but we had competitions and played non-stop or until an adult had enough of the noise. Brings back pleasent memories, I have been looking all over for a pair. Thanks for the info.

I remember these coming out in the early 70's when i was a kid. I loved them though wasnt very good at them. Suffered awful bruises from them. I'm sure they banned them:-S

I am 49, and I had a pair too. Everyone in my neighborhood had them, and you could hear them all over town. Back then no one had AC so you could be in the house with the windows open and hear them. I LOVED them! Wish I had a pair right now. YEs, the GOOD OLE DAYS!!!

They just showed the "Clackers" on Drake and Josh and that made me go to my computer and look them up to see if they are still available for sale. I'm 39 and we even had an arm guard - it was the cheesiest thing, but it kept your arms from getting a bruise. I may order these for my 10 year old. That would be a great challenge to see if I still have it!

I had a pair in primary school, thjought i was just sooo good. Yeah i remember the bruised wrists, it was a sign u were a master lol. Love all retro things

got banned from school

I loved my click clacks and my Dad hated them. We were building a new home and he embedded them in a wall someplace....wish I could find them

i rlyyy want a glass pair for cheap, I'am a teen n I've never had em'!!

all the comments are great! I'm 42 and had the glass pair. I LOVED THEM! My parents took them from us and I never seen them again. Yes I still remember the bruises! I just purchased a pair from the vermont country store for my daughter. Happy clacking everyone!!

Oh Yes! We had them - my sister had a green set and I had a red set. After a short time, my Mom threw them away because she heard they were dangergous - something about them exploding. We missed them!

The older girls in my neighborhood got good at using them. They'd throw them very high in the air and then catch them, all while never missing a clack.

I still have my pair from back around 1979. They too were one of my favorite toys ever. I got a new pair every year from the flea markets.

More like toys from the 60s! I remember these from 6th grade (1969-1970) when everyone had a set. Kids were always getting bashed, the school banned them, and they were never seen again. Ah, good times!

Click clacks are totally worth the pain! real toys, for real people.

I am 43 and I still take my click clacks out once in a while, they used to be my sisters, but I love them more KEEP ON CLACKING

I'm 45 now and still remember being enthralled with my click-clacks. Got them in a five and dime store near Canoga Park in 1971 when I was 8 years old. Man!! Time flies, just like the click-clacks!

I'm 11 years old and my mom told me she had a pair of click-clacks when she was my age and some-times i REALLY, REALLY wish i had some.They seem Sooo much fun and my birthday is coming up and I've been asking my mom to get some 4 me. (If anyone wants to donate some ur welcome to)lol

I found some I like better than the ones shown at the Vermont store: Google klick-klacks and timewarptoys

These were awesome! I am going to be 44 this month and I would LOVE to have another pair of these! I used to play with them all the time and they were the glass ones!

MY YOUNGER SISTER RECENTLY ASKED ME WHERE COULD SHE FIND A PAIR OF THOSE GREAT CLICK-CLACKS. SHE HAD BEEN SEARCHING EVERYWHERE. I TOLD HER TO GO BACK TO OUR HOMETOWN BELLMORE LONG ISLAND AND SHE COULD FIND A PURPLE PAIR HANGING FROM THE TELEPHONE WIRES IN FRONT OF OUR OLD HOUSE.LOL. THEY'VE BEEN THERE ABOUT 40 YEARS NOW.

OMG!!!! Love Click clacks - Kabangers......Just bought a pair from The Vermont Country Store. Thanks to my sister who commented above. She found them.. Yippppeeeeeeeeeeeee

I want some click clacks for under 5 dollars

HI! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A CHEAP PAIR OF CLICK CLACKS? PLEASE EMAIL ME! ADRIANAJRJ@HOTMAIL.COM THANK U! THANK U! THANK U!

I remember when I was a little girl (I'm 24 now) back in Mexico, i loved those things! good ol' click clacks or "Traca-Tracas" in spanish, I would really love a pair right now. If n e 1 happens to have one and wants to donate them to me, please e-mail me: adrianajrj@hotmail.com THANKX

TRICKY-TRACAS. I was in El Salvador when I first played with these dangerous but fun toys. I agree with... Bruce - February 19, 2009 - Click clacks are totally worth the pain! real toys, for real people.

I got some clackers for 5 bucks! they're awesome! sure my right hand is completely swollen and in pain, but its so worth it! :D

I was pretty much the best in my neighborhood! (Of course it looked like all the kids had tumors on oud wrists! LOL) I remember the number of fights these were used in as well! LOL

I played with a set that was at an antique sale a few years ago. I was the only one there who could get them to work & the place went silent from the racket I was making with them :)

I clicked and clacked all day when I was a kid. Banged up fingers and busted my tooth once.

I just bought a pair from the Los Angeles County fair in California for only $5. I bought a pair of green ones...I remember begging my parents for one, eventually they gave in...I practiced til my armed were black & blue...All I remembered was that the string was allot longer, the ones that I bought are shorter, but works as well..Happy Klicking!!!!

my sister and I had these from the way early 70's- mine were blue. who in the world came up with dangerous flying glass objects that wreaked havoc on your wrist bones?? bahahahahaa you would never find these for the 'gentler generation' they couldn't handle the bruises!

Our family moved recently and I found a box of my childhood objects. When I opened my Munsters lunch box, behold a troll with purple hair and my green sparkly click clacks. My son was in awe when I showed him "how it's done."

Go to www.vermontcountrystore.com You can buy one for $9.95

I was born in 1968 and remember the brothers up the street "Jimmy and Billy" gave me their Clackers. We moved from that street when I was 4, so I had to be 2 or 3! I thought they were made of wood though? Does anyone remember them being made of wood? I can't imagine my Mom letting a 3 year old having glass clackers! Ah, the good ol' days is right!

I remember the click clacks very well. In the early 70's we use to play with them and get the clicking and clacking so fast that they would explode apart. I can still remember one pair where the balls exploded and a piece hit my parents coffee table. Fortunately it was a very well made table. it put a gouge so deep that it is still in that table today. Ahhhhh yes, the good old days. Product safety, what product safety!

I got the kids to watch the old movie Beware the Blob (1972) on netflix. The boy scout troop on that movie all had klick klacks. They kept doing them while camping and the scout leader kept complaining of the noise and confiscating them. Brought the memories back.

I HAD A PAIR GROWING UP I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHACE A PAIR

i still have mine i remember having them back in te late 70's so they have been arund for a while - my 13 yo daughter is now trying to play with them

I'm 11 and i just got a pair of click clack from my mum for christmas. i have know idea how to use them and my mum can't remember from when she was a kid! I'm still trying to find out how.

where can i get some im eleven yers old and i want some soooooo bad but everywhe i look there too much just for a toy

My mom used to make them for us! She used some type of horrible smelling resin. She and our neighbor would make the balls into those grape clusters and put a light in them. She'd make us click clacks out of the balls for us to play with.

Real toys for real people! These were so much fun, even with the bruises....pretty soon it will be the law that you have to "bubble-wrap" your kids! How are they ever going to learn to be "real people" without some bruises and skinned knees?

I'm only 12 and I love them! My Dad had 'em, I love them! I think that safety is an issue now, and they are so picky now! Let's have some fun like you used to! I want to play all day with them, and I don't care who gets hurt! I never do anyways, gosh, people can be so naive. LOL!!!

I used to own a pair of kabangers! I got whacked on the arm so many times by those things I actually still have a knot on my forearm from the injuries in the same spot! lol

How can I get a couple of pairs of Click-Clacks?

I've had my red/yellow click clacks since the early 70's when they first came out. I can still do them and my own son loved watching me and used to beg to try them. I just ordered 3 from The Vermont Country Store, so we will see how good these are.....

Glad to let you all know that they are back!! I brought them at the county fair. They aren't glass but made out of a very strong material. The string was shorter and the ring wasn’t plastic it was metal so it slips when your going at it for a long time. It's like riding a bike you never forget. My sister and I use to compete by counting the clacks. They have them in all colors pink, red, blue, yellow and I paid $8.00 for them. Good Luck in getting them.

one of the best toys every made. Would love to get another one.

OMG! I was telling my husband about the pair I had, they were sparkling blue! They were awesome. I always wondered what happened them, I'd love to find the same color I had many years ago!

i had a pair of pink what are they called now i'm now 46 and i would love to have a pair

I THOUGHT A PERSON COULD FIND ANYTHING ON E BAY WHATS UP WIYH NOT FINDING CLACKERS THERE

Just reading these posts sends me right back to the summers of my childhood. Click-clacks, sprinklers, ice-cream man, riding bikes, climbing trees....ah, the good ol' days. Kids these days are really missing out!

I love my click clacks. I got really good at doing a continuous rhythm. A few times, my wrist got in-between the balls and got large lumps from the balls connecting with my wrist. Eventually after several hours of play, the balls exploded. Been looking for new ones but cant seem to find. If anyone knows where or how to get another pair, I'd love to get one. Thanks.

Use to love those back in the 70's! So many great childhood memories:)

just got a pair of acrylic ones at the fair a few days ago for ten bucks everyone is trying them half dont remember them the other half were not old enough too and the younguns dont believe me when i tell them they were made outta glass when i was a kid. Love these now as much as i did then.

Wow, Click Clacks cool as hell. No protective plastic, no wrist protector, no nothing!!!!! Just your skill because back in the day they twere made of pure glass or marble or concrete, well who knows but those babies were killers. They would bang the hell out of your wrists and god forbid if anyone was in your way they would be hurt too!!!!! But boy u really needed skill to master them and after a few thousand bruises well they were awesome!!!!!! :))))

You can buy them on Amazon.com for $9.99+$4.95 shipping and handling.

We saw these on the boardwalk at Wildwoods this summer, I had to get them for my girls. They've had a blast trying to master these things.

Ahhh, click-clacks... I grew up on the Jersey shore and I think I was in 6th grade (1972) when everybody had a pair of these...or two or three. I can also remember them being called "clackers," but never "kabangers" as Melissa from Jersey (see post above) remembers, even though I was only a few miles away in Brick. Hmmm, subject for some linguistic study there...? They were never made of glass, BTW, but colored acrylic plastic. My mom actually worked at the click-clack factory in NJ (yeah, how cool was that!) until they stopped making them because of the shattering hazard, and I can remember her bringing home click-clacks that had JUST BEEN MADE THAT DAY, with that hot molten plastic aroma still hanging on them. Ah, smell and memories, the classic combination. Anyway, it's a wonder we didn't all kill ourselves with the damned things. I had forgotten about getting cracked on the wristbone when they'd hit just a little off-center and go flying off in all kinds of directions after you got them going nearly too fast to see...ouch... no pleasant memories there!

We called them Kabangers and I still have mine that I inherited from an older cousin when I was like 3 or 4 years old. I'm almost 35 now. They're hanging on a peg on my closet door. Of course they've seen better days as they shattered a bit over the years. Boy do I remember my older cousins and siblings being banged up when playing with these.

Definitely a toy from the 70's, not 80's.

I just bought some at a flee market (3 for $5) and are so much fun! I too, remember them as a child and was so excited when I saw a variety of colors in one of the vendors store. I bought them at DENIO'S FARMER'S MARKET in Roseville, Ca.

New York Cheesecake and click-clacks in the 80's in the Bronx Need I say anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

Just found them on Amazon (Original Vintage Clackers Popper Knockers From 1970 Toy Balls) I think i'm going to buy a pair i miss getting my arms all black and blued

I bought my click clacks in the small Indiana town that I still reside in, in approximately 1973. My older brother and younger sister also got a pair. All of our friends and cousins had them! Great fun until my parents took them away because they were pulled from shelves because of "injuries". I am almost 49 years old, and my Dad just gave me all three pair that were taken from me and my siblings! My parents had put them up and kept them for us!

I got mine took away for a whole year one time in school because I wouldn't stop playing with them.

I love them

We use to call these KABANGERS LOL I miss the 80's GREAT TIMES!! : )

I loved my GLASS click clacks too. I need to go dig them out of the garage and show my son.

I still have a pair of the "glass" Clackers that I bought in 1972. One ball is blue, the other is green. I still can get them going really fast, and still get bruised when I play with them. Still fun though.

I had click clacks in the early to mid 1970's here in australia. They were opaque coloured resin: yellow snd green, or perhaps pale blue in colour. I ended up with a massive lump on my forearm, and the click clacks were taken away. They either recalled them here, or news got out about the dangers of these incredible toys. They were so loud!

Yes they were so much fun to play with im 50 from Pittsburgh pa and would love to have a pair right now

Are you interested in buying coin operated horses or spring rocking horses??? They are sold on Ebay. Most spring horses are made by Blazon, Wonder, Flexible Flyer, and Radio Flyer. Feel free to buy as many as you like. Good luck!!! :) Ebay account required.

did you just pull up and down and they hit each other or were there other tricks to do with them?
