Some other tricky yoyo store that shall not be named claims 10mm stainless steel axle.

Once again, take the yoyo to the hardware store and see what screw size fits. The 10 mm size mentioned above probably refers to the length. Try a 4mm x .7mm pitch screw to start with. Don’t force it if it doesn’t want to go. The correct size will easily screw in. If you can’t get a set screw of the right size, get a regular screw and cut the head off. Smooth the cut with a fine file or coarse stone.
