I’m sitting at the pool watching my kids play, and I’m wondering; what would make a good yo-yo and string that I could take it in and out of the water with me and not worry about ruining anything. I’d assume it would have to be a fix axel of sorts, but I’m Clueless.

Imperial with nylon strings, can’t guarantee it would work well, but its a start

One of @Glenacius_K survivalists, the axle is also plastic so no worries about rusting, and the material is very sturdy. I would go with cotton string or a cheap poly

Poly is a plastic so I’d imagine 100% poly string would be fine. If you live in a humid environment, I’d worry a little bit about mold/mildew but making sure they dry thoroughly should do it, I would think.

Something without response pads if you’re planning on taking it in the water.

I think something that’s not a yoyo would be better

Look, if you think a Nintendo switch is gonna work at the pool, it certainly does not.

We had a metal kendama at some point… I wonder where that thing went? Anyway - That kendama was heavy enough to play with underwater.

Oh man, was it called a tenderizer? Sounds like it would be a hassle to carry around.
Could definitely tenderize a few fingers. It was ridiculously heavy, like ‘scary to play’ heavy. But very satisfying clacking sound lol.

The Survivalist is perfect for this. Water doesn’t bother it in the least.

Ah yes, so we can all play our favorite game of make the trick or lose a finger(working title).

That might be the route I need to go with. I’ll PM you.
