How to fix a fidget spinner that won't spin

  • My aluminum tri-spinner ( amzn.to/2pteqdO ) just wouldn't spin for more than a few seconds. There was clearly a rub that was stopping the bearing from doing its job. This is my 5-minute fix.
    This is a popular problem with spinners: you drop it and the bearing goes out of alignment. The bearing is probably fine, and the hand spinner is probably fine, but the bearing placement is off. If you have a spinner like the Torqbar ( • Torqbar comparison: Ti... ) with a pressed bearing it'll be fine after a drop, but a Tyzest ( • Video ) might not. Not big deal, they are fixable!
    This is just a quick fix. I'll do a video in the future about more permanent solutions if people care. (Please show your care with comments or subs.)

    Hey, man. I just wants to say thanks a lot for showing me how to fix my spinner. I ended up dropping it a few times when I first got it, and it started messing up, and slowing down on one side like yours did in the video. I was wanting to know how I could fix this, so I looked up how to fix it, and watched this video, followed your instructions, and it turned it to work really well, better than it did even before I dropped it. Thanks so much, dude!👍🏻👍🏻

    Very good mod. I have tried it on the male portion of the button to reduce the wobble and increased the spin time by 30 seconds.

    I've just drilled the retaining shoulder out of mine so it's just a straight 'tube', centralised and Loctited the bearing in ...works a treat :-) It was fun going back to my old aluminium cheapy spinner having removed/replaced the bearing a few times on my Rotablade Tri Stubby ;-)

    @JohnS-gd1zr 7 років тому

    All I had to do was pull it apart and put it back together again, I had the same issue with the bearing moving, but after putting it back together, the shifting bearing stopped and it was fine. I think my caps are now tighter too

  • @terrencefoley509
    @terrencefoley509 2 роки тому

    Not having access to his spinner I can't really tell for sure but.....if you look at the two caps over the bearing, they have different collars around the screw/nut centers, and the bearing housing has different sides. One is wider/open rather than the other narrower/closed side. I think he's just got the caps in backwards. I think if he puts the screw side of the cap into the bottom, closed side of the spinner & the nut side of the cap on top of the side of the spinner where the bearing drops in, he'll solve his problem without the tape.

  • @Namelivestreams

    hey dude nice tutorial it worked for me but i also had my own way around it too :D
    i took out the bearings then i put masking tape around the bearing then i trimmed the edges after that i peeled the masking tape off and because of the glue on the tape it stuck in the spinner and it does not wobble anymore :D but thanks for the help i did use some of your techniques as well

  • @Lucassalgado97
    @Lucassalgado97 7 років тому

    So, I recently got a metalic spinner like that one (I only say "metalic" bc I don't know if it's made of brass, aluminum, steel, etc), and it stopped spining properly. It`s just like this golden spinner you showed in there (it has the same type of bearing held in place by a "collar" just like that one), only it has the round design of a more common hand spinner. I believe it has stopped spinning because that collar became loose and it`s going "up", moving out of place mid-spin. Does this fix works for this case or do I need do fix it another way?
