Spinners (antistress toys) were first invented in the early 90s, but only after 17 years the devices gained mass popularity. Already sold more than 50 million copies. As for their appointment, there is no consensus on this. Schoolchildren use them for entertainment, adults call spinners mini hand exercise machines that develop fine motor skills and relieve bad mood, young people are sure that this is another trend.
While on social networks and forums discuss the pros and cons of this inventions, spinners "multiply" in the catalogs of online stores: manufacturers come up with new original forms, experiment with design and size. The range of "propellers" is constantly expanding, so the logical question arises: "What to look for when choosing and what types of spinners are there?" Consider 2 main criteria - material and shape. It is these parameters that determine the consumer qualities of the product.
Types of products by material
Hand-held simulators are different in size and color design, so it will not be difficult to choose the right version of the spiner, regardless of age, gender and social status. The cost of these devices is affected by the type of bearing and housing material. For the production of spinners use:
- Metal - such "turntables" are distinguished by their strength, resistance to mechanical damage, minimal noise level and high rotation time (3-6 minutes). As a basis, aluminum, copper, bronze and even titanium are usually used.
- Plastic - the most popular and affordable models, their cost starts from 100 rubles. They are distinguished by light weight, a wide selection of colors and shapes. They are made on CNC or 3D printers.
- Wood - this option is more suitable for people who value exclusive. A wooden spinner is inexpensive, able to rotate at high speed and looks more elegant compared to the "propellers" of other materials.
There are also combination options and ceramic products on sale, but not everyone can afford the price of such models. Home craftsmen manage to craft fidgets from paper or leather, but because of their low weight they do not spin for long - no more than 40-50 seconds.
Types of hand spinners in shape
Online stores offer both standard and unusual fidget models. At the same time, spinner manufacturers do not stop at the achieved results, each time inventing something new. This approach allows you to take into account any requirements and wishes of customers. There are 4 main types of turntables.
Especially sophisticated customers can purchase exclusive antistress toys with asymmetric geometric shapes. It is difficult to classify such fidgets into separate groups, but this is not necessary, because their main advantage is originality.
# 1 single
The single is the most primitive construction. It is a bar with rounded edges, in the center is a bearing. The obvious advantage of this form is compactness. Metal structures are able to rotate up to 3-5 minutes.

# 2 Three-spinner
Three-spinner is a popular design option. Externally, this design is similar to a clover with three "petals". The bearing is located in the central part, but sometimes there are models where auxiliary bearings are located on each “lobe”. This provides a good balance of the device.

# 4 Wheel
Wheel - instead of the traditional "petals", the product has a rounded shape. Such hand spinners can be made in the form of a car wheel, steering wheel of a ship, or in other variations. Devices are characterized by minimal resistance, so they spin longer.
