Top Diaboro

Cautions for use

The body has a slit (a mechanism that makes a sound while rotating) and is very sharp. Please be careful not to touch it with your hand while it is spinning, as it may cause serious injury.

Never try to stop the rotation by hand.

Contact with the face or head during rotation will result in serious injury. Please use protective gear (hat and safety glasses).

This toy is made in a foreign country where safety standards are very different from those in Japan. Please understand that children must be supervised by an adult who is competent in handling the equipment.

This is a bearing top diabolo made in China. It is 130mm in diameter, weighs about 240g, and comes with a dedicated stick and two spare strings, so it is a set that can be used right away.

In addition to the one-way bearing around the shaft for easy rotation, the tip of the shaft has several free bearings built-in, so you can hold the tip of the shaft and wrap the string around it to rotate it.

Compared to the diabolo, which is balanced on both sides, the direction of rotation changes in a precessional motion, so it is more like the movement of a chonkakekoma than a diabolo. It is fun to play with it as an easy-to-turn Chokkakekoma with bearings.

This is a new product for sale, but the quality standards are different from those for Japan because the product is distributed in China. There may be some scuffs and stains from the beginning. Please refrain from buying if you are concerned about them.
