This is especially true on the Atesson Brass Tri-Spinner, which is one of the best looking spinners in its price range. This spinner also sports a high-quality stainless steel bearing, which can continue a spin for up to three minutes with a perfect spin.

It contains seven fairly different spinner designs, each of which can spin for upwards of 3 minutes on one flick. They all have round corners too, making them safe for younger users as well.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon This precision tri-spinner from Atesson is as standard as it gets in terms of design, but this stainless steel model stands out among other classic three wing designs. When properly spun, the Atesson spinner has a five minute max spin time. It uses a high-quality stainless steel bearing, which is more silent and cost-effective than its ceramic counterparts.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon This high-tech looking ninja star spinner has a lot going on visually but its real appeal boils down to its nice hand feel. It is made from fairly hefty aluminum and its bearing offers about 4 minutes of uninterrupted spinning off one flick. As an added plus, it lights up green when you spin it, which looks especially cool in a dark room.

When the wings create a perfect balance, you get an impressive five minute spin time. The D6’s stainless steel R188 bearing is also whisper silent, showing what you get when you spend a little extra.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon As an oldschool Beyblade fan, this Mtele spinner speaks to me with its zinc dragon design. It can be spun for up to five minutes off one flick and has an appealingly low price.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Coolct’s Gear Tri-Spinner is a clever take on the classic fidget spinner. Each wing has a moving gear that turns when you spin it. This spinner is made from smooth machined metal. This gives it a sturdy feel. The added friction of the moving parts does reduce this spinner’s overall spin time, but if you need a toy to get your gears turning, there is no better choice.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The Magxanadu Orbiter is not your ordinary fidget spinner. In fact, this fidget toy was developed entirely separate of fidget spinners but follows a similar concept nonetheless. Rather than spinning on a bearing, this toy spins on a magnetic base. It requires a little bit of movement to keep it spinning, but still provides a soothing effect. Keep in mind that the balls clack against the magnetic base quite loudly, making this a bad choice for the classroom or office.
