I am doing some research and could use the community’s help. There are way too many yo-yos for me to pour through to make this an easy find so I figured I would ask the hive mind. Thank you in advance for any and all responses.

The title pretty much says it all, what is the lowest cost American Made metal yo-yo that one can buy?

Definition of American Made is pretty straight forward, everything from the designing to the manufacturing was done in the US.

Yoyojam Classic, 10 bucks(13.36 in my country :P)

If I’m not mistaken all Yoyojams are made in the U.S

This is in no way researched or looked into, but off the top of my head, probably One Drop’s Benchmark series.

Thank you for the response. I should have specified “metal yo-yos”, but I think you may be correct on the plastic end. :slight_smile:

I have amended my original post.

One Drop Dingo, just over $50 (While the Benchmarks are around $60.)

The Duncan Metal Drifter, 20$ I do believe. Although in opinion and little experience with it, its a virtually… well… pointless yoyo.

Is that made in the US?

8

Mine was made in China.

Popstar.

I had thought that one as well but it is made in China. It says “Made In China” on the side of the box.

Joyride?

Come to think about it, my popstar was made in the USA. I bought mine back when they first came out.

That is why I initially thought the Popstar as well but current runs are made in China so I guess I would have to chalk it up as a foreign made yo-yo at this point.

Keep the posts coming, I appreciate all the responses.

You’ll have to check with Ben for sure. I’m under the impression that all of those boxes say made in China. I always thought the popstar was made in the US.

Is Recrev America based?

16

I do believe so, which yo-yos are you thinking of?

17

The RecRev Neuae might take the cake at 35 USD.

popstar made in USA. (bearing imported, string from mexico, box from China). We are planning a new run for early next year.

If taking the Cake is about behaving in a non-ethical business manner I don’t like cake.

I believe the lowest cost American made metal yo-yo would be the YYF whistler at $12.99

There’s our answer! Also, quick question, why not produce the popstar in China?
