What the video covers

What a beginner needs to know before buying a first premium fidget: the types of slider, the materials, and where to buy.

The verdict

It starts with the difference between mechanical sliders, which use springs and balls, and the other types. It covers materials from plastic upwards, cheap ways in such as a £20 slider or a Shim Shy mystery box, and one practical tip: if you use thread lock, use blue, never red. It ends with the Facebook groups and the shops that have been used without problems.
