## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it spin for after string pull?**
A: Depends on how hard you pull the string without breaking the string. It can spin for about 30 seconds or so would be my best guess.

**Q: Is Vertical Outer  ring welded properly or has gap which produces vibration and noise at high speed?**
A: The vertical outer ring is not welded together, and it does make a loud noise at high speeds.  However, the small gap makes it easier to fix if the spinning piece falls out.

**Q: Does it come with the stand**
A: Yes it does. It is black, not red.

**Q: Does the gyroscope include the string ?**
A: Yes, the string is included, but any strong, thin string would work.  What is disappointing to me is the quality of the construction which is not at a par with similar gyroscopes manufactured in the past.  The gyroscope I received works, but barely, and has an unstable vibration that greatly diminishes the spinning time and strength of the gyroscopic effect.  The frame that encircles the spinning wheel has a break in it, supposedly for stability adjustment, but the fact is the precision and quality reflect the low price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***2 on 27 May 2025*

Bought for my fiancé for Valentine’s Day. Works perfect and is a good size. It’s self explanatory on how to use but comes with instructions. The price is good and it spins perfectly and for a long time. It’s not loud like some others I have seen.
