I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is actually. Is it something like a spinning top?

It's not like a top. It operates more like a wheel. You can balance it on things, depends on the build quality. But that really isn't the way to use it. It's supposed to give your hand something to do, while you do other things. Taking away all the built up energy that stops you from concentrating. Your supposed to hold it between your thumb and pointer finger. Then use one of your other fingers to fiddle with it. Preferable spin it with the finger that the assassins cut off in Assassin's Creed. Sucks to be them with one of these toys. 😐

Since I'm a dumb ass, I like to do the former.

Yes, I have girly fingers. Don't be jealous. Woman love it. 😉

Yeah, they market it as a fidget device, but spinners really don't classify.  Studies actually show they have an adverse affect on concentration.  If you need a fidget device get a cube, some puddy, or even a stress ball.  The spinners are just toys😡

I bought one since I get bored at work and need something to fidget with. I got a stress ball, a doughy stretchy ball and now a batarang fidget spinner.

Good god I hate these things. Worst craze ever from a teachers perspective and no it does not help students concentrate... it has the opposite effect...😒

You should confiscate them and during lunch breaks play with them. Review them and let us know how good they are. 🙄

I collect rocks and minerals. There's nothing inherently useful or purposeful in that either, it's just a hobby.

Lies, we all know you gather these precious rocks and minerals for your quest to become the greatest alchemist. 😒

Eternal life might be a nice side effect of my hobby, but I swear, it isn't the main purpose!

Vaping AND fidget spinning? Very rad.

Thanks, I try to be in with the cool kids and the latest trends. ☺

Vaping is actually pretty old. I did it cuz da big clouds. Got bored of it and stopped. Then Loisshaw came along. She is a bad influence with her cuteness and I got a new vape that's colored like a Pokemon ball, because watching her vape made me want to again . Damn you Lois! 😗 Follow her on Mixer peeps! https://mixer.com/Loisshawx3

I have two, but picked mine up 2 months ago. Since then I got my kids about a dozen. Some figit cubes as well. When we first started we made our own from Roller skate parts and a hot glue gun. It did well.

But this is almost done, at least until school starts again. One day at my store I was asked 30 times in an hour for figit spinners. Now it is 2-3 times a day.

This just goes to show how uncool you guys have become. Don't know how to be hip these days. 😏

My store initially sold through 100 a day until we were out. You all really are not up with the times. 

Wow, the hype is REAL... And WHAT?.... Wal-Mart has them?! They have metal ones?
