Light Up Spinner

I can get stressed at times just like everyone else, and I find that fiddling around with fidget spinners gives me an outlet for my nervous energy and helps me focus. Once I figured out that they actually help me and aren’t just a funny toy that ends up forgotten in my desk drawer, I began to collect them, and have learned what aspects of a spinner make me happiest, and what makes me regard one as a “good” spinner, and this one ticks all of my boxes.Right out of the package this spinner had a very smooth and quiet bearing. Box one: check! I have been spinning it quite a bit and it hasn’t gotten gritty feeling or noisy when it spins yet, and spins for at least three to four minutes depending on the spin I give it. I’m not concerned about timing each spin and trying to beat records and have a spinner that spins for eight minutes. I am only concerned about it spinning freely, quietly, and smoothly.For my second box to be checked, I like my spinners to be made with premium-feeling materials and to have a more mature appearance (as mature as a fidget spinner can aspire to be!). Those lightweight plasticy ones with the sh177y bearings and LED lights are not my cup of tea. Not throwing shade, just telling it like it is. Aluminum is OK, if a little light weight , if it is machined right, stainless, brass, and any heavy metal base is more my style. This spinner has heft, is supposedly stainless (feels nice and heavy like stainless) but is covered with what looks like an anodized coating - hard to do on stainless, but it can be done - giving it a gorgeous deep red transparent coating that lets the stainless shine through.This spinner has a smooth cap for the bearing that is very comfortable to grip, and hasn’t come loose since I tightened it when I first unboxed the spinner. For the life of me I absolutely cannot understand the people who review fidget spinners and go to great lengths to b17ch and moan about their center bearing cap coming loose and falling off and blaming it on the manufacturer. First of all, it screws right back together. It isn’t broken. Suck it up buttercup. Second of all, if your cap becomes loose and starts to unscrew, can’t you tell it’s loose before the whole damned thing falls off in your hands? Tighten that puppy back up BEFORE it falls off, and you stand a FAR better chance of not losing it when it comes off altogether. If it keeps coming loose, put a little dab of thread locker on the threads the next time you have to put it back together. Jeez. All of that said, this spinner’s center cap hasn’t come loose on its own since I tightened it when I first got it. YMMVThis spinner doesn’t have bearings in the three lobes that surround the center, but there are shiny silver colored solid metal inserts there instead that feel heavier than the bearings I’ve received in other fidget spinners that I have collected over the years. The added mass of these inserts is supposed to help this spinner spin longer, and I have no reason to doubt it works based on how easily this spinner out-spins several of my other ones.To wind down this insanely long review of an eight dollar fidget spinner, I can say that it is one of my dailies right now and I am enjoying it very much, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a solid, hefty, well-made spinner. Not much of a gamble at eight bucks. If you like fidget spinners or know someone who does, this is an excellent one to add to any collection. It doesn’t feel, look, or sound cheap and holds its own next to my spinners that cost five times the price, if only it’s of a bit simpler design.

GOOD PRODUCT AND FAST SHIPPING

Awesome!

The media could not be loaded. Very smooth fidget spinner, it’s well balanced and satisfying to use. The brass inserts had some light markings on them out of the box and the center was very wobbly but the center just needed to be tightened. Everything is made of metal and it has a heavy weight to it. This also makes it sound like a sword being unsheathed when you spin it which is fun. The bearing does make a slight metallic ringing noise which some might find annoying. I wouldn’t use this in an office or other quiet area to avoid annoying others.I’ve been using a very old spinner with a wrecked bearing but you can see in the video I didn’t have to spin the new one hard at all and it spun for over two minutes.That being said I took a star off because when I sit it on the table and spin it as hard as I can once, it spins for about 5:30 not 8+ minutes like the description said.

This is probably the best fidget spinner you can get for the price. I got the black one with the tritium glow rings and recommend you do the same. It looks really cool spinning while they glow. They glow brighter using a blacklight but it does come with a small led flashlight. It spins great and for a long time. There is a tiny bit of wobble but that is expected for a $12 fidget spinner. Also some people mentioned the middle piece is plastic but in these they are thin metal not plastic. If you notice any extreme wobble you just need to tighten the middle piece. I also found it works better in 1 way than the other. So if you take apart ever to clean the bearing and notice big wobble after putting it back together just switch the middle piece around. Some people mentioned hearing some noise while spinning. That means the bearing is dirty and you should take it out and clean it. Mine is perfectly slient. If you don't know how to clean bearings just search for cleaning a yoyo bearing. Its the same thing.Overall would recommend.

High quality, recorded an 8:33 spin time (min:sec). Good weight, great spin, will follow up on any wear and tear.
