Hey Big Spinner

Infuriating little choking hazards they may be, but fidget spinners, the latest fad to give educators around the world chain-aneurysms, are going nowhere fast. It's kind of their thing. But hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em - here are a few of the best addictive little gadgets out there so you can sit and spin in style.

The moment this fad kicked off everyone knew what was coming - Batarang spinners were as inevitable as they are now numerous. The best whirly devil-bird that we've come across is the homemade effort from YouTube how-to channel PressTube. Made by melting down and recasting spent brass bullet shells the beastly thing weighs in at an impressive 1.3 kilogrammes, which we feel even the Dark Knight himself would appreciate. They actually mention on the page that it isn't really for spinning one-handed or doing tricks with - Batman doesn't play games dummy - it's more of a collectable. To make the whole thing even more badass, the holes for the bearings are actually smaller than the bearings themselves; they needed to be frozen with liquid nitrogen so they'd shrink down before they could be inserted. Now that we think about it, maybe don't try building this one at home.

Kim Kardashian is a brand, a human sales empire encompassing television, fashion, art and ah, fad toys. On bizarre-par with her recent personalised 'Kimojis', the internet breaker recently expanded her portfolio to include annoying gadgets for children - but sexy. The Money Daddy fidget spinners came out just in time for Father's Day, so that your sugar daddy wouldn't get jealous or your real daddy, maybe. We're not entirely sure what the market for this is. However, if a rotating golden dollar sign with the word daddy engraved in its centre is your thing, you can snag this bad boy from K Dash's website (along with a Daddy's Girl Socks and other strange, miscellaneous items) for the fairly reasonable price of $15. That's a steal.

If there's a better idea than giving preteens little metal tornados to balance on their fingers and noses it's making them sharp, which is why there's a whole range of ninja weapon spinners on the market. Certified deadly by the TSA, Satan's fidget spinners is the doodad of choice for would-be assassins that just cannot sit still. The Transportation Security Administration took to Instagram after finding the offending item in a carry-on bag at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport to say they had nothing against fidget spinners in general. They were, however, also quick to point out that putting ball bearings in a ninja star doesn't make it any less pointy, or in their own words, "While normal #FidgetSpinners are permitted, this one is a weapon." We reckon you might have more luck taking over a plane with a well-tossed Doc Marten, but hey, we see the point.
