$3 Metal yoyo

I posted these up on the FB page a while back, its some $3 metal yoyo i bought from some random shop that i passed by. many people asked, what yoyo is this? no, its not from any known maker, its really some random yoyo, but it look pretty good i think, looks "powder coated", not much of a copy of anything. there was a demo piece on the rack when i saw it, it was broken, so i thought it should be pretty sucky, i got a few, and on first throw it was really shitty, it doesn't sleep, but it doesn't return, u know, it just and die out of spin, like a heavily lubed bearing yoyo. but it breaks in pretty quickly, for me it took like 5-6 throws? just that few throws and it started sleeping, long. it vibes, i switch between halves and manage to get 2 really smooth one, one of which went to Chris Allen. one's still in my possession, two others not as smooth.
i wanted to make a random short clip of it, not a promo, just to let you guys see how it plays, i got to say for $3, its really good, but the bearing size is uncommon to that of those we used on yoyos, if it locks, you probably could just get a new yoyo, getting a bearing would pretty much cost the same i guess. its definitely not CNC'ed, Ron from C3 mentioned something about it being possibly done with Metal Stamping, not sure whats that though.
once again, its not a tester, and its really a random $3 yoyo i got from some random place, and i thought its worth sharing!
