## Description

desertcart.com: Squid Industries Squiddy-U Plastic Fidget Toy : Toys & Games

Review: Very good trainer and fidget toy - I used to have one of these and lost it when I got T-boned on a motorcycle (I lost that one lol) I got this one about 4 months after because I really wanted something I could afford back, and it’s just as good as I remember, it stays quiet and doesn’t look like a real knife so we won’t get in trouble when my ADHD kicks in and I want to fidget with something All the negative reviews are technically true, the screws do fall out after a while, the locktite they put on didn’t stick or didn’t dry properly somehow, but you can put you own on and leave it sitting for about a day, then your set to flip
Review: Greatest trainer for beginners/pros alike! - this has to be the greatest cheap trainer for anyone. It is way smoother than the other cheap trainer options on desertcart. I have dropped it many times on hard floors and carpet and it still works perfectly. It is perfectly balanced and light so you can improve your technic and understand weight transfer fundamentals. You can bring this anywhere without being wrongly accused of having a knife Great for people starting out or wanting to improve the harder tricks without risk.

## Features

- TSA Friendly: The Squiddy-U is easy to travel with. You can fly with it in your carry on baggage and flip it at the airport and while on the airplane.
- SAFE + PUBLIC/ AGE FRIENDLY: The Squiddy-U trainer has a friendly, harmless looking face, and a clear chic look. It is perfect to flip on the bus, when you're walking to school, or any other public area. The plastic look and feel also makes them great for kids--hefty metal balisongs usually don't work well for children and even regular adults who can easily bruise.
- PERFECT BALANCE: Perfectly balanced, light weight, and fun to flip! The Squiddy-U butterfly knife/ balisong trainer has steel weights pressed into the ends of each handle and a steel nose pin to provide additional weight and easy movement. The nose pin also has Buna-N O-rings that produce ultra quiet flipping.
- MADE IN THE USA: The Squiddy-U trainer is precision CNC machined in the USA. It features channel constructed acetal plastic handles for a strong and lightweight build. Each trainer is hand assembled and tested in our California facility to ensure smooth action and minimal handle play.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it a real squiddy?**
A: Yes

**Q: Do you have to tighten it often**
A: You will have to tighten it from time to time. That has not impacted my enjoyment.

**Q: Does it click when you flip it**
A: Due to the nature of the plastic, it does click when it is flipped. However, the silencer mods on the nose pin should lessen some of the noise.

**Q: does it come pre-loctited?**
A: No loctite on my example.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loving it so far! Just one small problem.
*by D***R on September 4, 2022*

Loving my Squiddy-U a LOT especially when before the only trainer I'd used was cheap $20-$40 knock-off trainers. This is my first real QUALITY trainer and I can really feel the difference, it's like a whole new world! I bought it after watching Will Hirsch's video about the different Squiddy line of trainers and don't regret it! The ONLY issue I've had thus far (2 days, I also don't think I WILL have any more issues) is yesterday one O-ring came off and disappeared so quickly and unexpectedly while I was talking with my father, I was convinced it didn't even come with a second one (I watched a review and found it DID come with 2). Then today the second O-ring came off outside just a bit ago and completely vanished as well (well it IS really small). It's not the biggest of deals but having silencers and it being blue is why I originally bought the Squiddy-U specifically. Now it's just really loud and the replacement O-rings are $3 for just 1 set of 2! If I get more I'm definitely going to find a way to glue them on without affecting performance, as with how easy they come off and how much the replacement costs for 1 set it is just far too much.
