Surprisingly easy to spin for a long time
I got this on a whim, after getting excited about Foreverspin tops. Since I am apparently now into spinning tops, despite being 49 years old, I thought it would be cool to keep one on my keychain, since it is so tiny, and has a hole in it just for that - and it's so inexpensive that I wouldn't care if it got banged up or I lost it.The pros: It is easier than the others to spin well. To be fair, I had practiced a lot with the other ones before I got this. However I am reliably able to spin this one longer than bigger, much heavier ones from the high-end manufacturer. It is machined and balanced well enough that it levels out and becomes so stable that it is silent and looks like it's not actually spinning (except you can't see the texture of the grip, so you know it is).The cons: It's small size and basic shape make it much less interesting to hold and feel in your hands than the more expensive ones. It is not quite as well balanced either - it starts to wobble slightly for about the last 10-20% of the spin. It's shape and smaller size also make it less interesting and relaxing to watch than the others, at least for me.Despite the better spin performance, I'm still keeping the bronze and titanium Foreverspins that I have, because they are just much cooler. This just spins for a long time and is super-portable. The others really provoke a conversation and get me excited to talk about them, with the different metals and how they feel, and look when spinning, etc.I'm still giving it 5 stars though, because despite all of the cons it's such a bargain that it would be silly not to get one if you are intrigued by spinning tops.

Easiest to Spin for 4 Minutes and far Superior to Forever Spin
I have very expensive tops (Lambda from Prometheus Lights), and several Forever Spin tops, but this $10 top will spin for 4 minutes on a concave mirror every time. While I get longer spins (9 minutes) on my Prometheus Lambda tops, I never got close to the time of this little cheapo top with a Forever Spin. I regret ever purchasing the Forever Spin tops as they are a waste of money. Note that this top will scratch a Forever Spin Station, so use only on a concave mirror. This is a fantastic little top with a key chain - and has zero the frustration of Forever Spin. It cannot compete with Prometheus Lambda tops but it is less than 1/10 the cost.

These are either really cool or we are just very easily amused
Bought two of these as stocking stuffers, and they ended up being, oddly, the most entertaining presents of the year. They spin for a long time, and if you get two of them going at once, it's very interesting. They don't immediately stop when they bump into each other; rather, they seem to dance and interact for a while. Tried them on different surfaces. On a game box, we had one of the tops stop spinning, but remain standing upright and perfectly balanced. It happened three times. We were blown away. I'm definitely going to buy a couple more. My husband wants one for his office. These are either really cool or we are just very easily amused. :)

Great price and amazing self-balancing!
The media could not be loaded. Great price and amazing self-balancing. This is a well-machined top. I just timed it on my iPhone. After about several seconds it spun so perfectly that it kept the same standing position without any wobbling. At this reasonable price, it almost spun 3+ minutes every time.If you want 10 minutes spins look at other tops but they'll cost more as well typically.If you want a very cool conversation piece which performs well with practice get the top, I love mine.Decent metal top and far cheaper than "Foreverspin" tops.Would definitely buy this againIf you are planning to buy this, you won't regret it.

A decent top, but there are better ones out there.
Bought this one and 3 others, to compare styles & quality. This one is nice, it has the grip for easy spinning, it's compact and fits nicely, wherever you'd like, and it's got a Keychain so you can use it on the go, at work, at school. It's not my favorite one, but this one works well.

want a top? buy this.
I rarely leave reviews, but this little guy is exceptional. Gnarled handle has amazing grip, and I've gotten 8-minute spins on a concave mirror. That's no BS time, truth.top and keychain attachment are both last-forever quality.I own two foreverspin tops, and wish I'd bought this first. At a fraction of the cost it's much easier to get a good spin, and with the keeper you won't lose your new favorite toy.

My personal best is just over 2 minutes
Ordered these as small gifts for my team at work - something to fidget with at their desks. These are very well built, and spin extremely well! My personal best is just over 2 minutes. The key chain holder is a cool bonus, too. Knowing there are supposedly better tops available for about triple the price, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about these. Very pleased with this purchase!Not for toddlers!! Way too small for any kid who still likes to stick things in their mouth.

Better than the more expenseive options.
I have a super expensive $50 bronze top from the big brand name at home and then I also tried buying this one. It’s better than the more expensive stuff. Mainly, because the knurling on the top’s handle is so useful. Small enough to put on a keychain, and a great conversation starter. If you want a little piece to play with for the office, this is a quality product.
