| SlikStik Tornado question |
| (1/4) > >> |
| metaHipster:
Just got my first SlikStik Tornado spinner - they seem well rated but upon receiving mine, I've noticed that the bottom of the weighted cylinder rubs on the metal ring on the bottom part. Is this normal? I can put a slight upward pressure on the axle from below and separate the cylinder from the ring and it spins forever but if I just let it be it rubs and has almost no momentum to it. I put a bit of 3 in 1 oil on it which makes it better but it almost seems as though the bearings aren't giving it much benefit. Just wondering if I need to arrange an exchange or if this is normal. -Matt |

Mine has a ring between the bottom (bearing) and the cylinder. |

I received two (one and then a replacement) and both had the same problems (worked fine upside down, right side up they had heavy, unplayable friction). Do what I did, send it back, get your money back and request they take another look at how they're manufacturing them (they now recognize the problem, and hopefully will fix it). |

SlikStik is out of business. If you bought it from another vendor you might try getting your money back. |

Slikstik may be out of business, but Happ still manufactures fresh ones (albeit badly). |
