String Cutter
Holster
Bearing Removal tool
very very nice. Functional utility I already carry two of. I have a bearing tool and a string cutter, and I use a clip yo-yo sling. I think I may have to get a few of these. That said… Yo-Tility? ohh, Utility… got it.

N-Mart Review-Echo by Duncan
HERE IS THE REVIEW OF THE DUNCAN ECHO… here is the review of the Duncan Echo… Duncan Echo… Echo…
Do you see what I did there?
I reviewed the Duncan Metropolis a few weeks back. And like the Metropolis, the Duncan Echo is another one of Duncan’s affordable all metals. The aim, it appears, is to offer a modern unresponsive throw at a fraction of the cost. Mission complete!
There were many good qualities to the Metropolis, but I didn’t absolutely love the Metropolis, maybe it’ll be different with the Echo. It sure looks promising! Let’s take a look!
Included:
- White poly string
- Instructions on binding and such
- Clear optional caps
N-Mart Review – Duncan Metropolis
Do you know what comes up when you Google the word “metropolis?” Go ahead, take a second and do that.
The first search item that came up for me was the 1927 German science-fiction film Metropolis. I won’t bore you with a summary, though if you’re a big movie buff you should probably watch it. The main thing you need to know is that the movie Metropolis is set in the future, in the year 2026 (a much more distant future then), in a dystopian world.
Now, I’m pretty sure Duncan didn’t name this yoyo after this old film. But, being that the classic film in placed in the distant future, I must ask: Is this the beginning of the future for Duncan? I believe it is.
Duncan is well known, even to non-yoyoers, as the company who gave us the imperial and the butterfly. Duncan is now showing us what they have to offer for the modern thrower. They’re stepping up their game, offering modern throwers what they are demanding, things like C size bearings and recessed response systems that can take flowable silicone if desired. Duncan, as usual, is also doing all this at an affordable price point.
So let’s test the Metropolis and see what Duncan has made for us, the modern thrower!
Included:
- white poly string
- instructions on binding and so on

365 YoYo Tricks is Expanding the Team
As you all should hopefully know by now, the legendary Steve Brown has been guiding us through an entire year, offering us a new trick every single day. I’m sure I’m not alone here, but I look forward to seeing the new video Steve has uploaded for the day. Well, Unkle Steve’s almost done for this year, and he’s announced he’s adding some people to the 365 yoyo tricks team to help him out on this tremendous project for next year.
Here’s what he has to say in his own words.
I started this project in January 2011 as a personal challenge: could I keep up with filming and posting an original trick every day for a year?
Three hundred and forty nine days later the project has not missed a single day and I was awarded the Trick Innovator of the Year award by the National Yo-Yo Museum and Contest for my work on the site. How could I top that? Answer: More players!
Representing YoYo Factory will be David Ung and Steve Brown himself. Representing Duncan will be Drew Tetz. And representing SPYY will be Ed Haponik, Nate Sutter, and… oh, Sebastian Brock. You read that right, Sebastian Brock is now on team SPYY. Cool.
This is one killer team!
