Brass Fidget Spinner (9 Gears White)

I have a collection of fidget spinners I started about 2 months ago when I started quitting nicotine. They've kind of formed a few categories: can carry, will wreck pockets, ordinary, unique. I strongly prefer heavy, solid ones that are a bit interesting to contemplate. This one is so mesmerizing that even though I don't like to put fidget spinners into cases to carry them (I like to be able to just grab them) I use the case to save my pockets and carry it anyway. I was in the fence about getting it after reviews that gears can come loose, but when I saw the video of how fast the gears could spin when someone just flicked them, I had to have it. SO glad I got it! It's heavy -- and SO solidly made. I STRONGLY agree with another review that you need to tighten all the gears before you start using it, or one WILL go flying. Even so, just buy it. Buy it, and check every once in a while with the little included Allen wrench to tighten. It up. It is SO satisfying to use while sorting out thoughts. Is there a more perfect spinner while running your mental gears? It's so appropriate. And the weight of it is so grounding! This is NOT, in any way, a flimsy "toy". It's an incredibly smooth spinner that works in multiple ways. It has even been a conversation piece. The odds of me also getting the black one just so I can have one in my office AND one on my dining room table are very high. Completely recommend!

13 bearing spinner This is the fidget spinner fidget spinners! Some people posted their disappointment that the outer gears are free spinning. That's half the fun of this fidget spinner. If you spin the thing without spinning the outer gears and then abruptly stop it from spinning, the kinetic energy of spinning is passed to all of the outer gears and they all spin like crazy. It's pretty cool to watch. Also, you can take this thing apart and make different spinners. It comes with an Allen wrench just for that purpose. Each of the gears has a pretty decent quality bearing with it as well, so they spin long and easily. I'm curious to find out just how many different spinners can be made with this thing (so far I have already made 7 different ones). 5 stars all the way in my book! Pro: ● High quality materials used in construction ● Comes apart and you can make many different spinners out of it ● Tons of different of cool mandala visuals possible b/c of making different spinners ● Outer most gears are free spinning and cool to watch kinetic energy transfer ● As originally constructed you can spin outer ring by holding middle or inner ring by holding the outer ring at gears Con: ● It's just a tad large, so indeed people with small hands may have to hold it with their middle/longest finger and thumb to get it to spin (as originally constructed)

Not a fidget spinner for ants. (It is a high-quality spinner for larger hands. This item is especially nice if you work in an office and feel comfortable displaying it, perhaps as a conversation piece) Think more “art piece discovered in a university farmer's market” than “plastic trinket you can tuck into skinny jeans.” The brass-and-aluminum build packs the weight of a well-worn travel bag—solid enough to make you second-guess tossing it in a pocket. But the real magic is in the near-silent, gear-driven spin. It’s like stumbling onto a side street bazaar street in an ancient city: complex, mesmerizing, and oddly calming once you let it draw you in. Set this up on your desk and let the synchronized gears do their meditative dance. The spin is linear (the inner and outer gear move in unison), so don’t expect mind-bending illusions. This one’s about slow-burn fascination rather than flashy chaos. It’s quiet enough not to irritate your cubicle neighbors, and it spins long enough for a mini mental vacation. It comes with a zippered case, sure—but once you see those gleaming gears in action, you’ll probably leave it on display. If featherweight spinners or minimalist pocket toys are what you need, keep walking. This is for those who are able to collect mechanical curiosities, and who don’t mind displaying them.

Bought this for an old boss of mine. He ended up turning into a supreme dirtbag, and I regret giving him such a cool fidget spinner. Lots of intricate gear detail for those of us who like such things, nice and weighty too. All the gears seemed to mesh well and the axles spun freely without any rattle or wobble. Wish I'd have kept that one for myself. Maybe I should order another... Actually, I just might now that I think about it.

The first spinner I got was missing one screw, so I messaged the seller to get a replacement screw. They replied almost instantly with an apology, and actually sent me a whole new spinner! It is well constructed and comes with a nice case but I'll probably never have it in the case since it looks so awesome. It is pretty wide so it's not as maneuverable if you wanna turn it while its spinning to feel the forces, but it more than makes up for it with other features. My favorite thing to do is get it spinning at max speed, then slowly lower my index finger onto the middle of the edge, which transfers the momentum to the outer gears and since those gears are small they spin really fast. It also looks really cool with the lights out and a TV on in the background, which reflects off the hardware and displays a subtle fractal fractal pattern that morphs as it slows down. It's fairly quiet despite all the moving parts, and spins nicely, taking about 2 minutes to come to a complete stop. I was originally looking for a cheap set of planetary gears to play around with for ideas, instead I bought a $32.00 fidget spinner! Its definitely worth the money, I might have to buy the black one too.
