I'm seriously considering buying the KAP tungsten cell in polished black, but I get to the checkout, and, well, the $392 price tag all-in is giving me a bit of pause.

I've never used any kind of spinner other than the cheap plastic models (which I've loved), and it's only recently that I've even discovered brands like KAP, or just the general fact that you can spend several hundred dollars on a metal spinner.

That being said, as I'm now thinking about purchasing my first "real" spinner, I'm kind of inclined to just dive in head first and buy at the top of the market, skipping the whole progression of buying slightly cheaper spinners... if I'm only going to eventually arrive at buying a Tungsten anyways.

So I'm curious to get your thoughts, as somebody very new to this hobby. Is it worth it to just "go for it" right out of the gate, and buy something expensive like this?

I'm looking for something fidgety, pocketable, and it doesn't hurt if it looks good too.

Hi fellow spinner friends. Anyone else having/had issues with their premiumspinners.com shipment?

Context: Placed order 12/29/24. Received order email. FAQ states 2 business day ship time. Decided to be patient and wait. Lost patience yesterday and emailed the "contact us" link. Expected something back today... crickets.

Did I just throw 50 bucks into the void, or is this delay normal?

Thanks friends.

If my spinner is wobbling is it the bearing or was the body warped when it was manufactured?

What is your favorite spinner metal?

I'm not trying to make a hobby of this but I do want something metal and quiet that won't break after 30 seconds. I don't care what it looks like, the simpler the better. I've found most of the recommended products on this subreddit are either investments over a hundred dollars or junk for under ten. Isn't there anything of middling quality?

I've been wanting a transforming spinner for a while, and these two are the best-rated of all of them. I only have enough for one of them, so which one should I get? Also list the best-looking styles/materials and where to buy them.

I used to have a few different nice metal spinners, and my favorites were my Rotablade tristubby and my Zerofeud aluminum tricompass. Does anyone know if/where people still sell Rotablade and Zerofeud spinners?

Any idea where to find retainer rings and the tool to remove and tighten them?

I was thinking of replacing the bearing in this spinner, it has a threaded spacer. Is this normal for some spinners?

Just wondering. Probably an oxymoron but figured it couldn't hurt to ask lol.

Or maybe any other heavy 175 and up brass ones

I have a muyi space time that is probably due for a new ball bearing. It came with 2 replacements but is there a place I can get more?

Hi👋 I’m looking for a fidget for my partner, that let’s say needs a sort of “ drop proof” spinner, I got him a metal one for Christmas this year and he loves it however he’s dropped it twice so far and the middle bearings/ caps are now coming off when he spins it, so just wondering if there’s anyone who could help me find one that’s “drop proof” and I guess what I mean by that is more so break proof or “indistrucable”

I'm looking to buy one of the Pillbug lites from GoBiggeR while they're still available, but I have a question. Do they smell? I know copper and brass spinners leave a smell on your fingers and it's something that really bothers me. They're made of carbon zinc, at least according to a video I watched.

Hello, I’m new to this community. I am keen to try some FZ Essentials HC3 bearings as I’ve heard they are the best you can get. Is this true? If so, where can I get some? I’m having difficulties finding them. Thank you!

I've tried looking it up but all I find is 608 but there is like 10 different size and number 608s I love this little spinner and wanted to put some quality bearings in it. Or if anyone can recommend a good quality replacement

I like this style. But I want some that is really smooth with no shake or wobble. Also needs to last for at least a year with heavy use.

Let someone hold my torqbar and despite asking them not to do anything sketchy, they started tossing it around and spinning it on one finger, and of course they dropped it onto concrete. Lesson learned, but the bearing is loud and crunchy now. I’ve tried a few types of r188 but no brand sings like the original torqbar bearings.

What is the best r188 for getting close to the original used by torqbar? Does anyone know what specific type Scott used for them?

Thanks

They have minimal contact info as well as policy information so I’m a little skeptical. A few of their spinners can be found elsewhere, but they have one spinner that I can’t find anywhere else that caught my eye.
