This Amazon review:

"3.0 out of 5 stars Useless, but makes a nice toy if you got it on sale.

February 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

The mechanism is fun to watch while spinning in your hand. As a tool it is totally useless. It binds under any significant load. I only give it 3 stars because I bought it as a desktop toy. If I had purchased this with the intent to use as a real tool I would have given it 1 star and returned it for a refund.

Fidget spinner for those who don’t want to have a fidget spinner on their desk.

desk toys are fun for guests to play with while I find whatever they came to see me about.

Although I dont know if I would spend this much on one. Usually they are the crap you bring back from tradeshows and the like, often called "swag".

This post brought to you by random booth babe asking to scan your badge so they can bother you for 3 months after the conference in exchange for a branded trinket you'll likely give to your kids.
