Sticky Barrel

Sticky Barrel is our first foray into the manufacture of machined all-metal puzzles. Precision crafted from brass and steel, Sticky Barrel feels solid and exact. The accuracy, quality, and finish are in keeping with the finest tradition in high-end mechanical metal puzzles. We're thrilled with the results! Particular thanks to Phil Wigfield for allowing us to license his excellent design.

Sticky Barrel is a take-apart puzzle. The goal is simple: remove the stick that is stuck in the barrel. Easy enough, right? You'll find the solution to be anything but, and reassembly can be even more vexing. The solving experience is pleasant, and the smooth movement will have you fidgeting with it even when you aren't actively trying to unlock its secrets.

Handling Metal Puzzles
All metals tarnish over time. Residual oil and salt from handling speed up the process and may leave undesirable fingerprints. Occasional use of our Metal Puzzle Polishing Kit with a coat of Renaissance Wax will keep your metal puzzles in tip-top shape!
