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. ---

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

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.

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. ---
