Weird use for a yoyo (was never meant to be)

My storm door handle snapped off. The replacement handle required some sawing which i lack a saw.

I took my replay pro apart, and tried to put the axle through the hole to use as a makeshift handle to push door open/closed without worrying about latch (frame warped so have to push it open anyway)

ALAS, the axle was not long enough.

Im sure i could have figured out a way to make it work if I really wanted…instead i went down the street to my brother’s house to use his saw.

Anyone else have an abnormal yoyo story?

I should be asleep but here we are.

A while back my daughter wanted me to push her but my back was not up to the task. I realized she had a yo-yo party favor in her basket and used that as a rope to pull her around the block. It eventually snapped but we got far enough. Now she doesn’t need dada to help her ride a bike…

also I wasn’t expecting to find this picture from so long ago but man smart phones are too smart… search by key words how did it know this was outside a bike a yo-yo. I work in tech and this stuff just shows how little privacy we really have.

Also at OP I like your head space on the yoyo doorknob. I bet an atlas or monster would have worked. Just needed a wide yoyo

I mean just saying if you have a titanium yoyo and your stuck in the mountains you could probably use it as a firestarter by walking the dog along coarse rock at a kindling pile… that hasn’t happened to me but that is an instance where a yo would serve a practical purpose

I’ve used mine as a parts cup while at work. Small screws have nowhere to go if they’re in a titanium cup.

I wish I had friends that yoyo cuz that would be a fun party game, although someone is getting smacked in the face and not just from the shots
