I just dropped my first quality spinner (Lautie Bit 5) on concrete the other day, and now I'm left with these little marks. Do y'all know of any way to fix this? Or should I just ignore it?

Does carrying around a spinner in your pocket cause problems for the bearing (e.g., lint or dirt in the bearing)? The reason I ask is that I like to carry spinners around to play with (also not the term "EDC" implies just this).
Show me what you got. US sellers preferred and a bonus toward Sam Rings.
Had some fun creating the entire experience. Always looking for feedback as well.

Found this really good fidget spinner recently and I wanted to figure out what brand it was does anyone recognize this
I had a spinner like almost 10 years ago when they were first popping off that looked like the attached photo and I lost it but I can't for the life of me find another. It was metal, blue, and had these lighter blue splotches that looked like when you just sort of flick paint at something. I bought it from a hobby shop and it came in a black hard case. I think it had ceramic bearings and that's what sold me on it. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
I love them as their a different type of spin and you can make em look cool
I was watching some spinner review videos on youtube and the commentator mentioned he doesn't like to take bearings out of spinners (if it is unnecessary). Why is that a bad thing?
Also, what tool do you use to do this? I want to get one so I can replace the bearings when I need to.

Metal Fidget Collection Update & Ranking | September 2024
I bought a fidget spinner from a random website on Instagram almost 8 years ago. I have recently been able to find them but unfortunately they seem to be selling clothes now and I cannot find a similar model ANYWHERE. I was hoping to either find one from here or even commission anyone here who makes custom 3d printed fidget spinners. They were glow in the dark and I miss it very much. I would appreciate any directions/advice. Thank you.
Hi Gang,
Looking to get a nicer spinner and have the opportunity to buy one of the following:
Focusworks “The Thing” @ $80
Woosah SS Double Header Zatfig @ $65
Woosah SS Namaste mf @ $65
Woosah SS mini ohana @$55
(The Woosah spinners are $20 shipping)
I can’t find much information on Focusworks, but what I do find is overwhelmingly positive. Woosah has a legend, but I don’t know if it still holds up. Would love the community’s thoughts!!

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 All,
I recently lost one of my spinners and put the other through the washing machine (don't ban me please). That started a deep dive into trying to identify a new spinner that would be fun. The market for spinners is so odd and unlike nearly all other consumer products. One of the aggravating features of the spinner marketplace is that it is so hard to get spinners. So many are sold out or no longer manufactured. I also cannot identify which are the "best" (i.e., consumer reports doesn't rate spinners). The LIC edamame spinners looked great to me after watching some videos. But of course I went on their website one day and they literally had no spinners (not even "sold out") and today they have a couple spinners but they are both sold out. Would anyone be willing to share tips on how to get a new LIC spinner?
New to the sub reddit but wanted to see if I could get some feedback. I make these out of brass and am curious if there is a market for this type of fidget thingy? Looking to do custom versions for people as well.
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?
I've been wanting to post for a while. Does anyone know the best way to lubricate a bearing? Every time I try it just makes it worse and my spinners slow down.
If my spinner is wobbling is it the bearing or was the body warped when it was manufactured?
