I'd love to get the names of the other spinners you took photos of!

jgsprattThis is from another post I made, with the links to those spinners:
- Phat Boy, Phat Boy Nano, Idler: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShadywoodSigns - Brass Monkey Spinners: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Bottlebib - The Ergo line: https://squareup.com/store/ultraspinners/ - The Dab and its siblings: http://yardwerx.bigcartel.com/ (I have added generic bearing cap buttons purchased on FastTech) - The Falcon, the Maelstrom and the Tsunami; these come recommended as some of the best spinners one can buy; if you buy only one or two premium spinners, probably you should buy the Falcon or the Maelstrom: https://flyaway-toys.myshopify.com/collections/all
The following, I have read about and am considering for the future, but have not ordered yet: - Spinergy: https://spinetic-spinners.com/product-category/metal-spinners/spin-for-a-cause/ - The iFDGT: https://www.venomdd.com/products/ifdgt
Finally, below are the mass produced spinners that I have read about and seem to have very positive reviews. Several of these are essentially the same generic spinners that are purchased by US online entrepreneurs and resold / re-branded with different names in US online spinner and gadget stores; so you can get them cheaper directly from Asia (I use FastTech, but AliBaba, AliExpress, Rakuten, GearBest, etc. also sell these). I believe the below spinners are more or less all sourced from the same factories, and it should matter little from whom you get them (I have several on order, to use as gifts): https://www.fasttech.com/products/6858800 https://www.fasttech.com/product/6837100 https://www.fasttech.com/products/6635401 https://www.fasttech.com/products/6835202 https://www.fasttech.com/product/6837103 https://www.fasttech.com/product/6876100 https://www.fasttech.com/product/7143801
Some of the above are clones of well known - and expensive - spinners. In other words, these are spinners designed to mimic the look and feel of much more expensive ones that have gained a following. The originals' designs are not patented and it's legal to make spinners that look very much like them; it's legal but perhaps morally ambiguous. Ironically, in many cases the clones spin as well - sometimes even better! - as the originals.
Generally speaking, FastTech and these other Asian distributors come up with new models on an almost daily basis; FastTech had 500 listed!
Hope this helps!

BobrazCan you give me your top 3 favorites (use most often) and why (shape/size/feel/materials) ?

awcorvetteI like them all for different reasons, but the top three are: - Phat Boy Nano: perfect fidgety size, exceptional materials, fit and finish, and not dorky at all. Anyone testing it goes 'whoa this is so cool, I want one!'; - Kong: stealthy, great fit and finish, and the only spinner I dare take to the office. In fact from a bit afar, it looks like you have a coin in hand. Don't underestimate how stupid you look in a 'serious office environment' with a spinner, despite some spinners claiming to be 'executive spinners'. - Maelstrom: despite the size, perfect weight (because titanium), spins for minutes, perfect fit and finish, and because titanium. This is the BMW M3 of spinners.

BobrazThat Falcon looks stunning. Would love to see a photo or two of your Maelstrom. Thanks.

StrummAaaaahhhh, you see, it starts with affordable ones, and soon you order $70 or $80 ones. It's like junkies, the next one fix / spinner needs to be even better than the one before!
