Product Description
The wonderful world of spinning tops is a rabbit hole. Designers these days are cranking out tons of wacky and intriguing spinners made from materials that run the gamut—but ultimately, all you need is a balanced top and a good surface to spin it on to get started Read More
This thing spins! That might seem an obvious statement, but where I’ve never been able to get more than about 2 1/2 minutes of spin time out of any other top I get a minimum of 5 out of this one. The one time I specifically clocked it came in at over eight minutes—none too shabby.
All that said, I don’t recall if this was a higher price point as a set than the stand-alone top but the lens that came with it is nothing special. It’s a bit thinner than a comparable lens I picked up on amazon for $5, but otherwise they both work about the same.
Not sure if mine has a defect, if the glass has a defect, or if my hand has a defect, but I can only get it to spin for like 4 minutes, and it is wobbly as heck while it does it. Only sometimes do I get it to spin without any wobble, but the spin time is much lower. I don't understand. I still like it otherwise and is fun to spin, gotta train my fingers I suppose, got the ruby version.
The top is a lovely little piece of solid metal. One of those fun little bits of goodness that no one ever needs but is just pure fun to have. Get one to compliment the titanium fidget spinner you rewarded yourself with last year.
I only wish the glass base was a little larger so it wasn't quite as hard to keep the top from coming off it when launching. Perhaps I just need more practice....
This Top is very heafty and well machined.
it is one of my longest spinning tops due to the weight and low genter of gravity.
Very nice desk toy.
I like to see how much I can get done before it stops spinning.
I was very delighted to find the product so finely packaged as if by Mr. Bean in Love Actually, with paper shaving nesting and sprinkled sweets and etc. for the Christmas season. Appreciate the personal touch and thoughtfulness. Cheers to you guys!!
The top is everything it’s advertised and promised to be. The build quality, weightiness, and polished finish is spotless and flawless.
I am a little disappointed with the glass base that came chipped on both sides. I won’t pick on it too much because I appreciate the little finish with regards to everything else, but I do hope the company considers feedback towards investing in a more quality base. The Forever Spinner’s base for example has a metal encasement for the glass base which not only looks good but is evidently extremely functional in protecting the edges from chipping.
Otherwise, no reservations on this top. I love the weightiness and build quality. Hopefully your future batches will have an improved base because of this batch’s feedbacks :)
Here’s some photos for your inspection and personal consideration!
It's useless but I love it. I spin it from time to time, forget about it because it spins that long and then freak out "what's that sound?!" when crashes.
Took away one star because if you spin too hard and badly, it'll fly away and hit the edge of the glass base, which cause the brass metal to chip a little every time. Also the brass will tarnish fairly quickly. Would recommend spending more to get the stainless steel version.
I applied some WD-40 on the glass surface and it pretty much solved the wobble issue, now it always balance toward the centre by itself no matter how bad your spin is. Once you get hold of the technique (meaning the top don't fly away after you spun it), it's pretty easy to get nine minutes of spin time.
So I’ve never had a spinning top or anything and this was an impulse buy, so I’m not too well versed in this hobby. But hey, it spins for ages and is built really well. Nice desk ornament.
