2 in 1 Fidget Stick Spinner - eBay, $3.51 USD.
Dimensions: 8 cm x 3 cm x 1 cm.
I paid $3.10 USD for this item on a buy-2-get-discount sale. Listing has free standard international shipping.
The seller currently has a buy-3-get-one-at-12%-off sale, including these, and Iāve had no problems with my transaction, packaging or shipping.
Iāve seen informative posts about these, but I havenāt come across too many reviews as yet. It looks such a good idea, right--fidget cube and spinner in the one toy?
The awesome thing is that this actually works as advertised. The spinner function works great. It doesnāt spin for as long as a conventional tri-shaped spinner and doesnāt have quite the same vibration feel, but it spins easily with only slight wobbling.
You will have to remove the metal plug holding the split ring to the spinner to use it as a spinner, as itās too long to fit in the space between my thumb and pointer finger when spun. Thankfully, itās easy to pull out--a magnet holds the plug flush to the spinner, and it requires quite a bit of strength to pull without being too difficult to do so. Itās a really good balance of the magnet being strong enough for security without being too strong to use, and I think, barring the spinner catching on something, it isnāt like to fall off if hung off a bag by the split ring.
(Itās a super design, actually, and Iād love to see more fidget toys take this approach of a magnetic attachment. You get all the ease of being able to attach the item to your bag or lanyard without the clip getting in the way of your using the toy.)
Most of the buttons work smoothly. All the click buttons are noisy, but they donāt have that horrid jarring crack/snap Iāve found in fakes and the Fidget Fingers Series 2. The gears and roller ball turn easily. The slide buttons tend to make the spinner rattle when used, so theyāre not as silent as they should be. The only thing that really doesnāt work is the spin wheel; itās as tough and sticky as my first Zuru Fidget Cube, and itās easier to use the dial as a spin wheel instead.
The dial has a fun feature with numbers printed on one side (one through six) and fortune-teller-style words on the reverse (ānoā, āgo for itā, āmay beā, āyesā, āprayā and ātry againā). I donāt have a need for the words, but as a player of Magic the Gathering I always have a use for a dice roll equivalent.
Possibly the only downside is that isnāt as nice to touch as the Fidget Pad or the Zuru or Antsy Labs Fidget Cubes. The plastic isnāt that silky; it just feels like cheap plastic. It also rattles a bit when shaken, and for this reason might be annoying when hung from a bag or lanyard.
I feel like thereās actually been a bit of thought put into this one, in terms of how to make it useful. Itās another cheap knock-off, of course, but barring one feature it works well, it combines two fidget functions popular with stimmers, itās easy to carry with you and the dice roll/fortune teller options are pretty fun.
I still think I like the Fidget Cube a little more as itās quieter, but I like this better than the Fidget Pad, and the price makes this absolutely worth trying.
