This fidget spinner uses tungsten for its weights and a ceramic bearing.
Why tungsten? With the exception of gold, tungsten's density is the highest available. Simply put, if you had two identically sized rings, one steel and one tungsten, the tungsten one would weigh 2.4 times more than the steel one. This makes tungsten the perfect material for weighting a fidget spinner!
Why Ceramic? Since I was investing the money in the tungsten, I figured I'd get the fastest bearing I could find. Ceramic bearings last longer, are smoother, and faster than conventional bearings.

I've made quite a few fidget spinners, and this is by far the fastest and funnest one yet. Tungsten truly makes a huge difference!
The spinner cap is designed for use with an M3x10mm Cap Screw and nut, however, it is not necessary. The caps are a pressure fit and once installed will not fall out.
