I’m sorry, but that’s nothing like a drill press, aside from the drill part. It’s just a drill clamped to a table using vice clamps, like mdev1 said, and a 2x4 to help steady your hand. If anything, it’s a makeshift lathe. ---

I was able to get mine to do a few tricks today.  😛 [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/d/b/9dbdb6b9f797ee31d4f41850266ee89cb28054eb.jpeg "Kickin' it Old School (with a Freehand Zero)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLID2sup9J4) There’s something about the Freehand Zero. It’s old school, it’s classy, it feels good, it plays extra good when modified well, and it just feels like it connects me back to the beginning of modern yoyoing. Despite having a ton of yoyos - and my affinity for the CODE2, of course  :wink: - I find myself again and again gravitating to my Freehands. ---

I love the FHZ. I like it because it has this toy quality feel to it. Who has a Purple/Green Takeshi Zero for me???! [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/why-good-rep-fhz/48100.md?page=1)
