Sometimes they strip and just spin in the like where the axle goes and never tighten

That’s the worse. Like the nut in the yoyo or the plastic/aluminum holding the nut stripped not the bolt it’s self

This is called being Cross-threaded. When the threads are misaligned but tightened anyways. When you strip it…you remove the threads entirely and the screw no longer has anything to bite into. Very bad…😣

You can salvage a yoyo with messed up threads though it will add vibe. (Better than no yoyo)
