Did you buy it recently? This is something we can typically fix. If you bought it from YoYoExpert contact us and we can arrange a return, or contact the store you purchased it from and they should help you out.

It hasn’t happened to me with a horizon but a previous owner of the one I have did some pretty decent damage near the axel…

You could have someone retap the yoyo for you. If it’s not completely stripped you can add either lots of Teflon tape or loctite to temporarily solve the problem.
