How to Get Those Stubborn Slinky Kinks Out

The worst thing that happens to Slinkys is getting tangled, right?
Well, to get them untangled you need only a longish, skinny piece of metal or
other hard-to-cut material

Step 1

Find the other tangle at one of the ends of the slinky.

Step 2

Collapse the slinky from the first tangle to the other, then push
that chunk through the awkward loop (first tangle).

Step 3

Stick the stick through as shown, then spin the slinky.

Note: hard to describe here.

Step 4

If you still have a tangle on the end, then take the top-most layer and feed it below the true end.

Done!
Note: Plastic slinkys don't get that extra tangle at the end.
If you don't have that extra tangle, it doesn't matter which end you collapse
