don’t worry about buying the punchline. it may eat your string, if they do there is a solution link [Friendly warning to Punchline Repeater owners - General Yo-Yo - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,25091.0.html) ---

Did anyone have an punchline that used to fray strings and it got fixed? ---

If you’re scared, just check every 10 minutes or so… or weave some plastic into your string… I promise you the string won’t break for awhile :P. Or… you can take denim and rub the yoyo all day… ---

I have one, and there is no denying they eat string. BUT, after 2-3 strings, I don’t even notice fraying anymore, and I never sanded it down or whatever. It’s a problem that goes away with time, and the time is really not very long. If that’s the only thing holding you back from getting this superb yoyo, I’d say get it. Just use caution at first. ---

There’s no percentage on these things, you can’t take every single punchline repeater and graph how many fray the string and how many don’t. I got a Punchline that frayed the string but a quick rub with some Scotch Brite fixed it right away. ---

Like I said, you can use scotch brite, maybe the back of a leather belt, but scotch brite will fix the problem in 2 minutes at most. ---

Nope, just make sure not to rub too hard.
