See the center cap on your spinner? Remove it with a flat head screw driver or your fingers if you can. Then clean the ball bearings. The reason in is noisy and will not spin long is because there is dust in the bearings.

The metal spheres in the middle are the bearings. Just rinse them off with rubbing alcohol and you'll be good. Make sure to dry them with a hair dryer or other heat source to prevent rust (Depending on model) Stainless steal would not require the drying along with ceramic or other materials. 

I suggest drying it anyways.

Saw some in the store and played with the one on display. When I become fidgety, it ain't going to be one of those things I reach for. That's why I carry a Pet Rock.

Why do people want a distraction from work? Good thing we're working on getting them banned in our school, was my suggestion in the student council, anyways.

I wonder why thse things have become popular across the world. It looks like something for toddlers anyways.

I believe it was meant for people with ADHD. It is to keep them focus I think.

Not a bad reason, could be. And on top of that, some say that it will reduce your stress level in a way or another even if it isn't too much, still it does something.

Lol, I just found a fidget spinner on the ground while I was jogging today. Works fine and it's black too - my favourite colour 

Must be my lucky day C:
