Title: Tornado Spinner wobbles, is it me or a fabrication fault on the knob?
Post by: dennis808 on April 27, 2006, 11:09:32 am

I just recently received my SlikStik Tornado Spinner with skirted knob and It seems to wobble a bit too much.
I tried it without fastening the screw (it's alrady a pretty tight fit) and with the screw in both holes. The spinnershaft is straight as far as I can see. I made a clip of the spinner in actionso you can see (and hear) for yourself:

Is it me or is it just a manufacturing fault in the knob? ???

I just want it to spin like in Kevin Steeles clip:

Thank you very much for the quick reaction, but I forgot to mention that I ordered the spinner from Ponyboy (who got it at HAPP's), so I don't really have an order number. What should I do?

dennis808,

   No problem, we will honor the purchase from Happ as well. Contact me at the above address for directions on shipping back to SlikStik for replacement.
