Gurren Lagann Core Drill Necklace, Black, Gold, 3X8

Good weight to it. Looks exactly like the anime

I'm a fan of the anime series Gurren Lagann and had been wanting a core drill for some time. Finally, I got around to buying this one and I'm SO glad I did. Now, On to the details! First I'll tell you about the package. It comes on a card in a plastic bubble. The card has some great artwork and is really sturdy. It can be removed with ease and then replace to display. Inside the bubble you will find a metal case with a clear window which nicely shows the core drill. The metal case is also perfect for display. Once you open the metal case, there it is, a solid metal core drill. It has a chrome and gold finish, which is flawless on mine. This thing is NICE! It looks just like it did in the anime, other than the bit of writting on one side. THe writting appears to be a small copyright circle followed by G.KN/A.K.T.D (I have no idea what that stands for). It does annoy me a little, but it's not bad and if it turns out to have some meaning other than something to do with the manufacturer, I'm cool with it. THat's the only thing that detracts from it. As for the necklace, it's similar to what you find attacked to the crap in the quarter machines in stores. It's black and made to simulate leather, but I'm sure it's not leather, more like plastic. it has a cheap clasp which is really flimsy. I doubt it could hold the weight of the drill for long. Of course it's WAY too short anyway. I don't see how anyone over 12 years old could fit it around their neck and if you've watched the anime, you know this stuff isn't for small children. I had intended on changing the necklace anyway, so it doesn't matter and I was happy to pay the price I paid, just for the core drill. If you want to save a few dollars, you can look for the core drill key chain. It has the smae core drill, but it's on a nice keyring made of steel cable, so you could swap it to a necklace of your choosing, or leave it as a keyring, but after shipping, you only save a couple of dollars, if even that, and I'm not sure that it comes in the nice metal window case, which is a plus for display. Overall, this thing is great and wearing it is a great conversation starter. This thing looks expensive when worn on a nice chain. Like I said, if you're a Gurren Lagann fan, this is a must have.

This is the drill I have bought exclusively for the last several years. The finish lasts for years and I wear mine daily. I would recommend getting a nice jewelry chain for it. Love having this and have recommended it to others.

i have worn this drill core necklace every day since i bought it in 2011. it is now 13 years later, the gold finish is gone, the silver finish on the back is gone, but this thing and the show associated with it saved my life. and thats is why i continue to wear it. as long as a drill never stops spinning, it never stops moving forward.

*UPDATE* I had to order a new one because my friend lost the original. It's a little different than the first one I ordered. The clasp broke after one day, which was kind of dissapointing. What concerns me the most is that this one is actually quite pointy. I could see someone rolling over or moving the wrong way and accidently drawing blood. Otherwise it's pretty much the same. *UPDATE*The pendant is of good sturdy design, not too heavy, not to light. It's made of a sturdy metal and so far the paint hasn't shown the slightest sign of fading. It looks exactly like what it's supposed to without actually looking dangerous. It's not pointy enough to hurt anybody but it's definitely a drill. I love it. I only took of durability points because I imagine this cord won't last as long as the pendant, but that's an easy fix. Well worth the money for any fan.

While the actual drill is cool and sturdy, the rope and clip it came with have already broken within barely a week of use. the necklace just comes off because the clip is already broken and is close to unusable unless I buy a new way to tie it.
