My son has one and he does all sorts of tricks with it. I played with it for a few... not as cool as the toys we had as kids. I can get that thing to spin for 12 mins! They range from $8 to $35!
They are not allowed at his school as the kids don't pay attention in class if they are playing with them.
He showed me some vids of idiots putting razor blades on them and trying to come as close as possible to their hands without cutting themselves.... ya the fails were bloody!
Awesome post by Charlie! LOG! Now that's a toy!!

I saw these on some news program with my wife and it was about kids with ADHD or something similar and they were using these to help them. Them I see them popping up on eBay for 3 to 5 buck and then a couple weeks ago I go to Wally-world (Wal-mart) to get a few items and they have them on the end displays, in toys, down the center isle, made in china all for the bargain price of just $4.97!!! A fidget spinner. Now they are dry bearings running at fast speeds and will spin on long. Well knowing that a bearing that has lubrication will last longer, I took one and put a drop of oil in the bearing. Oops, it does not run as fast or for as long. Guess it was meant to spin dry, self destruct and you buy more of the garbage. Wonder what fool we have to thank and like to kick for these
Blak Bart, I am not sure that I would part with Zincolns for this. Gimme more clad first!

The first one a bought came with instructions...lol "Do Not Oil Bearings". I'm like "wtf?" I did some research and sure enough, oil kills them. I bought one that has the fancy ceramic bearings, that puppy would zing!

Something tells me that there may be a new trash item to start showing up in our detecting finds. At least we all know it is not any kind of artifact but another piece of junk. 1320, some of the ones I saw came in boxes, some were loose. Nothing had instructions and kids just picked them up and started playing with them. Looks like oil is the way to take them out. Wow, ceramic bearing on a junk toy, what a waste.

Ceramic bearing has to be the 35$ model. 213$ and you can have a whole set with interchangeable center pieces. Some one is fidget spinning all the way to the bank !! Year round world wide market with with interchangeable/replaceable parts. Brilliant !!!

Oh well, missed another opportunity to get rich, someone saw it and did a George Carlin "Nail two items together that have never been nailed together before and some schmuck will buy it!" Tri-lobe plastic with bearing in the center, mass china produced, cheap, everyone buys, has to have, kids go nuts, sell millions and after the first year, your rich and don't care any longer. And the rest of have another piece of junk to find while looking for the real gold.

Most entertaining thread I've read all day! I'm not even 30 yet, but when I grew up, ADHD was fixed real quick via discipline from Dad....not with some goofy fidget spinner.
