A Fidget Spinner is a type of Stress-Relieving Toy or a Gadget.

This toy is really very addictive and really helps to relive stress and helps to concentrate in work.

WHY and WHAT is a Fidget Spinner?

The Toy has been helping people who have trouble with Focusing or Fidgeting such as those with ADHD, Autism, or works as Anxiety Release Mechanism for Psychological Stress and Nervous energy.

However, Usage of Spinner is more likely to serve as a distraction, than a benefit, Says the Expert Study.

The video Explains WHY a Fidget , WHAT is Fidget and HOW to make a Fidget Spinner.... that too from Trashed Old Bearings and Bike CAM Chain.

  6. Oil for Bearing

  8. Acetone to clean the Bearing and chain.

Clean the oil, grease, and rust from the bearing and CAM Chain.

Use a Hammer and a nail to remove the LINK of the chain.

Take your bearing and measure the required length of chain and wire.

Start to arrange the Chain the way I have shown in the image and insert a wire to hold the chain in place.

Use the nose pliers to tighten the wire.

Assembly Time!

The Chain Ring Is placed on the Bearing and Secure it tightly in place.

Use a Hammer to lock the Chain Link and make sure the chain is tight enough to stay in place.

If required use the Super Glue and Paste the chain on the Bearing. Mine Was tight enough so i didn't super glue.

I have used a plastic gear in center. This is to increase the grip and is easier to hold.

Oil the bearing and wipe off the extra stuff.

Ready for Spin!

It is Very fun to use and it is Addictive too !.
