G Squared, One Drop, and Eternal Throw. Don’t go throwing out facts without a little research. Deadly spin, toxix, a run of chiefs, i think anti yo, i might be wrong. ---

Didn’t they do some General Yos? Could have sworn i read that. Doesn’t matter to me. Yoyos are about the design and execution. One Drop has proven to be excellent at executing designs, so as long as someone comes up with something nice i feel confident One Drop will excel at machining it. ---

> [@The\_Machinist](#): > > Because we like to help out our friends. This. Also, I look at OneDrop as both a machine shop and a yoyo company. I mean, the pieces of equipment they use are so expensive that if this was just a yoyo company, they really shouldn’t have them. I would assume they use the CNC’s for other purposes than just yoyos when they can as well. The precision they provide along with the understanding of yoyo design is important. But they just machine the throws. OneDrop is acting as a machine shop for other companies, not a yoyo company. People who have issues with this must also get mad that some parts of cars are manufactured internationally for not just one brand of cars. ---

Sounds like all you need to start a yoyo company is a design and a phone. Also seems like some companies proudly state that One Drop did their manufacturing, while others keep quiet about it. I also like that they are in Oregon. My second favorite state. ;D Frankly, this has bumped One Drop to the top of my shopping list. Just have to choose which model… ---

Oregon is cool! 😃 Those machines are not cheap as mentioned earlier. They don’t pay for themselves. Just like a print shop if the machines are running they are paying the lease/bank. When you specialize in making yo yo’s, your limited on work options. How cool is it for smaller companies to have them to produce their products. Having a skilled machinist at a machine shop using their experience and knowledge. It really makes sense for both sides. It’s awesome that they do help other companies. Definitely wouldn’t see a company like Yoyofactory helping out their competition. One reason (of many) why One Drop gets my respect.
