How long do these things actually spin for?

Depends on the top, the surface, and your skill level. When I received a titanium top in the last bundle they did I quickly got addicted to it. my spin times went from pitiful (~15 seconds) to (personally) impressive 2-3 minutes with practice. Anytime someone else tries to spin one they also seem to struggle. the fun is in learning to spin them correctly. Adding the spinning base really helps.
Keep in mind though that spin times are not everything. sometimes it's just the sensation of playing with the top itself. I have other tops that spin MUCH longer but I do not enjoy them nearly as much as my foreverspins
linkywinsOur tops can be spun anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes depending on the weight of the top, its material, the surface it is spun on and on the individual doing the spinning.
The beauty of our collection comes in the aesthetic and the look and feel of each individual spinning top - personally, we'd have a spinning top that is more fun and that is beautiful than one that spins for 15 minutes, only to be forgotten about after a few minutes of spinning.

One_Eyed_JackalThey average about 3 minutes with practice. If you're looking for a performance spinner, check out BilletSpin.com - these tops are more of a "pass on to your children" due to the craftsmanship of the one-piece solid metals.
The base they make is by FAR the best spinning base I've ever used. It's slightly curved inward so the tops gravitate towards the center of the base, which extends your spin time.
