Hey, does anyone know what size axle the dm2 uses? Not sure what size my friend ordered, but they didn’t fit in his dark magic. (too small)  
would it just be [YoYoJam Axles – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/280/YoYoJam-axles) those, or something else?

The Dark Magic and all other YoYoJam models with the older axle system use a 6x32 setscrew. The Dark Magic II and all other YoYoJam models with the newer solid spin axle system use an 8x32 setscrew. Both can be found for roughly fifty cents at your local hardware store.

Thanks 😃 that sounds a lot better than spending 2 bucks + shipping.
