Are NSK bearings like the best?

I have recently been hearing stuff about NSK bearings and I had no idea what they were so I Googled them and apparently they’re very expensive but they also make other things besides just yoyo bearings. Are they as good as people are saying are they worth the money as well??

NSK website, they make all sorts of sizes and kinds, but that is straight from the source, that’s not a yoyo bearing though.

NSK bearings are definitely good. There’s no doubt about that. Yet, whether or not they’re worth the money, is a different question altogether.

Many people will tell you that, as long as you use a decent bearing for your yo-yos, you’ll have all the performance you’ll ever need. They might also tell you that, when it really comes down to it, bearings don’t make a big difference at all. I don’t exactly agree. Yes, the yo-yo itself will always be the thing that will affect performance the most. But bearings and even string can make a big difference. I would try different ones and see how I feel about each one before forming an opinion.

Personally, I love NSK bearings, and I also think they’re better than certain other brands. But, no, I don’t think they’re worth the price.

During my time on the tools (before I moved into an office job) I fitted NSK bearings into pumps, gearboxes, centrifuges and many other machines with rotating shafts.
NSK make bearings for just about anything.
