For some reason I am not grasping the idea of spinning. Why you guys like it?
I like EDC to be useful in my daily life.
Don't take me wrong I like their looks and don't have anything against them.
@Darkbulb send me some link to spinners
Here are just a sample of some options - obviously far from a complete list;
$100+ metal spinners (CNC machined):
Rotablade (only UK metal spinner maker that I know of)
Torqbar - the one the re-ignited the spinner craze and as hard to get as a Wolfman razor
Vorso - a bit different form factor. Compact spinner.
Genesis - @Len have and like this one quite a bit
Zerofeud - a pretty neat tri-spinner design
Sub $100 metal spinners:
Cierrecart - about $60-80 hand made brass spinners. Auction/first come first served. Sell out in less than 45 secs
Bow Tie - the only $75 CNC machined spinner that I know of. Aluminum.
Sub $100 plastic spinners:
FidgetCraft (US) - about $20-25. Two main models. New stock every Friday.
Polaris Spinner (UK) - good reviews.
Geo (UK) - a number of models around 20 pounds
Top three things to take into consideration, apart from price;
1) Material (the heavier the body traditionally the longer it spins),
2) Bearings (normally ceramics > steel bearings), and
3) Finger only or table- and finger spinner (some do both, some only one of the two).
I'm sure I missed/forgot a number of great options so if anyone want to add to that list please do
I spin because it really annoys the guy on the desk next to me in work
"Hey if you don't stop spinning that I'll start doing something that will annoy you!"
"You already are....breathing. So I'll do a deal..."
OR DIY
Bearings can be found as cheap as chips on eBay. All you need then for a very cheap spinner is a few cable ties. Stepping up it's off to a plumbers merchant for brass Munsen rings. Go back a few pages and you'll find the Ines I have made.
First I thought they were idiotic toys,when i read this over here.
Sorry, I left out the obvious one - this is a also a great DIY oportunity as @Northam Saint pointed out!
All one need is some bearings and duct tape to get started.
Yeah still get around the same time though I must admit I've not timed it precise for a while. I could probably do with another white spirit bath todayHow's your going now? Still seeing a minute+ spin times after you re-re-cleaned it?
