On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In some cases, there are complaints that the adhesive residue on the cutting tool is difficult to remove. On the other hand, the high adhesive strength and durability of the patches are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elasticity and good adhesive properties of the patches were well received by customers. We cannot confirm any adhesive residue on the tool.
Prices of up to €31.10 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €9.90 . The repair plaster from Flickly® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €17.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
