![Rainbow Anti-Anxiety Fidget Spinner [Metal Fidget Spinner] Figit Hand Toy for Relieving Boredom ADHD, Anxiety (Round)](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61SsKtsobnL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I can get stressed at times just like everyone else, and I find that fiddling around with fidget spinners gives me an outlet for my nervous energy and helps me focus. Once I figured out that they actually help me and aren’t just a funny toy that ends up forgotten in my desk drawer, I began to collect them, and have learned what aspects of a spinner make me happiest, and what makes me regard one as a “good” spinner, and this one ticks all of my boxes.
Right out of the package this spinner had a very smooth and quiet bearing. Box one: check! I have been spinning it quite a bit and it hasn’t gotten gritty feeling or noisy when it spins yet, and spins for at least three to four minutes depending on the spin I give it. I’m not concerned about timing each spin and trying to beat records and have a spinner that spins for eight minutes. I am only concerned about it spinning freely, quietly, and smoothly.
For my second box to be checked, I like my spinners to be made with premium-feeling materials and to have a more mature appearance (as mature as a fidget spinner can aspire to be!). Those lightweight plasticy ones with the sh177y bearings and LED lights are not my cup of tea. Not throwing shade, just telling it like it is. Aluminum is OK, if a little light weight , if it is machined right, stainless, brass, and any heavy metal base is more my style. This spinner has heft, is supposedly stainless (feels nice and heavy like stainless) but is covered with what looks like an anodized coating - hard to do on stainless, but it can be done - giving it a gorgeous deep red transparent coating that lets the stainless shine through.
This spinner has a smooth cap for the bearing that is very comfortable to grip, and hasn’t come loose since I tightened it when I first unboxed the spinner. For the life of me I absolutely cannot understand the people who review fidget spinners and go to great lengths to b17ch and moan about their center bearing cap coming loose and falling off and blaming it on the manufacturer. First of all, it screws right back together. It isn’t broken. Suck it up buttercup. Second of all, if your cap becomes loose and starts to unscrew, can’t you tell it’s loose before the whole damned thing falls off in your hands? Tighten that puppy back up BEFORE it falls off, and you stand a FAR better chance of not losing it when it comes off altogether. If it keeps coming loose, put a little dab of thread locker on the threads the next time you have to put it back together. Jeez. All of that said, this spinner’s center cap hasn’t come loose on its own since I tightened it when I first got it. YMMV
This spinner doesn’t have bearings in the three lobes that surround the center, but there are shiny silver colored solid metal inserts there instead that feel heavier than the bearings I’ve received in other fidget spinners that I have collected over the years. The added mass of these inserts is supposed to help this spinner spin longer, and I have no reason to doubt it works based on how easily this spinner out-spins several of my other ones.
To wind down this insanely long review of an eight dollar fidget spinner, I can say that it is one of my dailies right now and I am enjoying it very much, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a solid, hefty, well-made spinner. Not much of a gamble at eight bucks. If you like fidget spinners or know someone who does, this is an excellent one to add to any collection. It doesn’t feel, look, or sound cheap and holds its own next to my spinners that cost five times the price, if only it’s of a bit simpler design.

We leave these around the house and kids use it as a quiet activity and helps keep them occupied in short bursts. Quiet. Many ways to play with.

I never write negative reviews, but I have to agree with all the latest product reviews of the Atesson Fidget Spinner. I purchased the same product a few years ago, and it was great. Out of the box, I was getting 10 to 12 minute spins, which I was extremely satisfied with. Recently I pulled the fidget spinner out of our junk drawer which it had been sitting in for a while, and it was noticeably louder and would only spin for 5 minutes max. So, I decided to get a new one and see if it was better. Well, the new one is awful. It looks very nice, but is noticeably different than the older one. In the picture, you can see they added a powder coat to the newer version, and swapped the old finger pad for a new one without the Atesson Logo on it. If you take that off you will also notice a difference in the bearing housing design compared to the older one. The real issue is that it spins for about 35 second max. That’s pretty pathetic. I suspected the main culprit was that the bearing provided was junk. So I decided to compare it to my old one. I cleaned my old spinner’s bearing, and I swapped the bearings into the other spinner. I was able to get the new spinner up to 7 min and 51 seconds with the old bearing, but swapped back to the new bearing into the new spinner, I got less than 35 seconds again. I swapped the old bearing back into my old spinner, and I was able to get 10 mins and 30 seconds with it after it was cleaned. So I was even able to get a better spin with the old bearing, in the old spinner after cleaning the bearing. It seems that the manufacturer has switched materials and their design, resulting in a far inferior product, for the same amount of money to the consumer. I’ll be returning the new Atesson spinner, and keeping the older more quality one.
