Summary: 5 Stars
Have been looking for this fly swatter for a year! It is strong and has an excellent grip.Customer Review: Great Fly Swatter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really sturdy fly swatter - doesn't fall apart like so many do.Customer Review: Better than most plastic swatters
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had this swatter for almost exactly two years. It has worked very well, better than most plastic swatters that we have had in the past. Just recently, The plastic mesh started breaking apart. I don't know if that is just the way that it is, or due to the fact that we keep it on a window sill, where the sun shines on it all day. In any case, we will definitely buy another Oxo swatter.
By the way, there is a scientifically sound method to increase your kill rate. Recent research at Caltech indicates how best to hit the fly you are aiming for:
If the threat is coming from the front, the fly moves its middle legs forward and leans back, then jumps backward.
If the threat is from the back, it moves its middle legs backward and jumps forward.
If the threat is coming from the side, it leans its body to the other side before jumping.
To hit the fly, anticipate where it will be, don't aim exactly where it is. This method really does work.

Customer Review: Good Fly Killer
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a sturdy fly swatter that performs its task well. It can feel a little too stiff at times but overall this is a swatter that will claim many flies over the years. It feels like it will last forever.Customer Review: Good at killing flies
Summary: 4 Stars
The long handle really gives you the speed that you need to kill flies/moths/whatever.
If it has one flaw, it's that it tends to break if you swing it too hard.
