So I am not going to blame anyone (might have been me, might have been someone else, don’t know), but my favorite yoyo was unfortunately stripped the other day. The actual yoyo, not the axel. Is there any way to get it decently fixed (just loctite it?). I don’t know if it makes much difference, but it was a 1st gen octave. Thanks for any help you can give. ---

You could have it re-tapped. Some people on this list do a good job: [List of Trustworthy Modders](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,5371.0.html) ---

Did you buy it from us? If so, give us a call or send an email. Even if it wasn’t a recent purchase you can send it in and we will take a look at it for you. No guarantees, but we can usually fix a stripped yo-yo. ---
