Behold, The World’s Largest Fidget Spinner

Fidget spinners. Why did it have to be a fidget spinner? I promised myself I wouldn’t post an article about another one, but here comes  the world’s largest fidget spinner. So here I am telling you about another one. When will the stupid craze end?

Beyond The Press first 3D printed the parts for their mammoth fidget spinner, then they put it all together with a jumbo ball bearing track in the middle. It takes a real man to fidget with a spinner this size. It is super heavy, and is best spun with the power breeze of a leaf blower. Your little spinners are a joke. This kind of fidgeting will give you muscles so at least it is productive.

This is the last fidget spinner article. I promise. No, really. For real.

When Fidget Spinners Spin Too Fast

I will never understand fidget spinners and those who use them. Your lack of self control over your fidgety nature is making spinner manufacturers rich. At least for now. Anyway, check out this video of a guy using an air compressor to spin a fidget spinner to death.

He has clamped the spinner in a vice. Eventually, the spinner can’t take anymore and hits warp speed, and it self-destructs. It doesn’t appear he was wearing goggles or glasses, so this guy is damn lucky he didn’t lose an eye.

Too bad they didn’t clock it’s speed somehow, because this could be a new sport. Seeing how fast you can make a spinner spin before destroying it. That sound it makes is awesome, though watch the volume when you hit play.

Giant Batman Fidget Spinner Cast from Bullet Casings

The Dark Knight takes one look at your dinky little fidget spinner and laughs. As always, his toys are much cooler. But you don’t have to be a billionaire to have one. PressTube shows you how to make one for yourself – assuming you’re comfortable working with molten brass.

This huge Bat-spinner was cast with melted bullet casings. It is a cool process to watch, especially the part where he’s casting it. There’s just something about a flaming bat symbol that satisfies my inner nerd. Quenching hot stuff in liquid nitrogen is pretty cool too

In the end this awesome brass spinner is ready for fidgeting on the streets of Gotham. If you are interested, PressTube is giving away the spinner to one lucky viewer. Good luck.

Top 10 Fidget Toys for Fidgety People

Fidget toys are a new rage this season and I’ve been waking up to a lot of posts lately on these toys. They are present all over Instagram, Whatsapp and Snapchat stories.

This is why I’ve decided to create a post on the Best Fidget Toys for Fidgety People. People like me always require something to fidget on so as to concentrate better on whatever I’m doing. Fidget toys are most popular among young adults and elementary school children. Let’s get started with this list!

Eachway Roller Chain Fidget Toy

This is yet another fidget toy that uses chain links. But unlike the Flippy Chain given above, this one is a complete circle, with six chain links. It can be easily hidden in the palm of your hand and you can fidget with it for hours. It’ll reduce a lot of bad habits, like biting nails, relieving social tension, etc. It is also perfect for people suffering from ADHD, autism, and anxiety. It comes in a cool little box that can be used to keep it safely when not in use.

Fidgeting Star Hand Tri Fidget Spinner

Among all the fidget toys, the most popular one seems to be the fidget spinner. Fidget spinners are extremely popular thanks to their looks when spinning and the variety of games that can be played with them. People mostly compete against each other to see who can spin it longer, but there are tons of other games as well. The Fidgeting Star Hand Tri Fidget Spinner comes with three blades and has ceramic bearings which are supposedly better than steel and Zirconium Oxide.

Tangle Jr. Textured

Tangle Jr. Textured is the weirdest looking fidget toy and something that I was very new to. Like the name suggests, this fidget toy lets you tangle it over and over again. The toy can be broken into fifteen different pieces and the colors vary randomly. Just slip it into your hand and let it tangle. You will literally feel the tension easing and that is what this is all about.

Ratoop Fidget Cube

Fidget Cube received over $6 million on KickStarter, so it is definitely something that works. A cube has 6 sides and the fidget cube presents with 6 different activities that can be done on it. The least functional activity is the concave surface which allows you to rest your thumb. The next one comes with 5 buttons to click. The third side comes with a metal ball that reminds of the trackpad on Blackberry and three rotatable gears similar to that of a number lock. The fourth one is an analog stick similar to the ones found on gamepads. The fifth side has a switch and the last side has a rotatable circle. My favorite is definitely the analog stick, trackpad & number lock and the rotatable circle.

Pro-Noke Flippy Chain Fidget Toy

This is a different kind of fidget toy that comes with two chain links on two joined metal rings. It can be simply rotated back and forth and that is pretty much all that it can do. It is extremely small and can be taken literally anywhere. It is also the cheapest fidget toy on this list, so you don’t have to worry about money.

LEDeng Fidget Cube

LEDend Fidget Cube is very similar to the one that is given above. It comes in a huge range of colors and it will definitely suit everyone’s tastes. It has the exact same functions as the fidget cube from Ratoop, but comes at a slightly lower price. So if you’re looking to get one of the best fidget toys for under $10, look no further.

MOSOTECH Fidget Spinner

This is another fidget spinner from MOSOTECH and it looks a lot different than the one from Fidgeting Star. This fidget spinner too comes with a ceramic center bearing that is extremely durable and will last a really long time. It comes in a huge variety of colors including black, pink, gold, blue, silver, rose gold and more. If you’re not a fan of the spinner with three leaves, you can opt for the one with four leaves.

Tom’s Fidgets Flippy Chain

The Flippy Chain fidget toy is similar to the one featured above. It consists of two chain links connected by two rings. According to Tom’s Fidgets, Flippy Chain is extremely silent and can be fidgeted on even while you’re in the office or classroom, unlike fidget spinners that draw attention. They have an extremely durable design and comes with silicone O-rings to prevent corrosion.

AMILIFE EDC Fidget Spinner

The last two fidget toys on this list of the best fidget toys are also spinner but they only have two leaves. They are also completely different in their design language. If you’re a fan of golden accessories, then this one will surely wow you. It is shiny and looks beautiful when spinning. This one uses ceramic center bearings as well along with laser molding technology. The average spin time is given as 1-3 minutes and that might be just what you’re looking for to improving your fidgeting habits.

BKHLGO Fidget Spinner Toy

Last, but not the least, we have another spinner, which I’d like to call a naked spinner. This is because the bearings on this one are visible and it looks super cool. The design is also quite fascinating and it got me hooked the moment I saw it. Like most of the other spinners and fidget toys on this list, this one is also very small and easy to carry around.

Guy Plays Bass Guitar with a Fidget Spinner

Fidget spinners are super popular right now. Maybe I’m not the right age, but I just don’t get it. I say just stop fidgeting and learn some self-control. Apparently they help relieve anxiety though, which I can understand. It just seems weird that so many people are so fidgety. Bah. Also, get off my lawn, kids!

Okay, so this is cool anyhow:

YouTuber and musician Davie504 decided to see if he could play bass guitar with a fidget spinner. The trick here is that he didn’t just use it as a pick, but he let it spin, making it the perfect tool for playing the Dick Dale surf rock classic Misirlou.

I have to admit this guy sounds pretty damn good. It looks like fidget music is now officially a thing now. Now all we need is a band using fidget toys with all of their instruments. Ladies and Gentlemen, sit still for the The Fidgets!
