The Beadsmith Spin & String – Bead Stringing Wooden Spinning Wheel with 2 Needles, 4.4” High, 5.6” in Diameter, Quickly String Seed Beads for Jewelry

I have been testing a variety of electric bead spinners the last few months and stumbled across this one. It bears the Beadsmith name, and is battery-operated while most have USB cords, so I had to give it a try. And I am glad I did because I think it is a great option for anyone looking for a powered bead spinner. I make French Beaded Flowers and we often switch colors multiple times within a petal or leaf. Having multiple bowls that are easily removed is a big benefit. I like the lids on the bowls so I can store my beads on my tray without spilling them, getting other stuff flying into them, and so I can stack the bowls.The speed is a nice medium speed, compared to other electric models, but that speed works for me. I like being able to change directions. Though I am right-handed, I use a variety of stringing techniques, which requires me to be able to switch spin directions. I do wish there was an option to purchase extra bowls. You can purchase extra bowls for the blue one, and they do fit well enough to work if you can situate them properly. It's not an exact fit, though, so I would still like to be able to purchase extras of the bowls that come with it.It is noisy, but all powered bead spinners are. Some more so than others. This one is louder than I'd like, but less so than the blue battery-powered one, which I also have. I like the battery power so I don't have to deal with a cord on my work space, and makes it a little easier to take it outside or wherever I want to bead without needing a portable power bank. Just use those rechargeable batteries and you're good to go.

It spins almost perfect, but seems a bit wobbly. The slight wobble doesn't affect how it works, as it beads just fine. The needle is sturdy, however the eye hole is very small and doesn't work with .8mm cord.

This spinner works good. First you should watch a video on the product and then practice after you get the hang of it it's easy to use.

Yes these DO work great! Sure better than trying to string those tiny little beads! Get the tiny, but long curved needles , give it s spin and you'll figure out what angle works best to get the most on the needle! I got to where I filled the entire needle up each spin!

exactly what i was looking for and great value for the price

What I mean by this is the threading hole couldn’t fit any types of string through it. And when I did get string through it it was tight and the hole would practically cut the string.

The media could not be loaded. I was SO upset when I received this. I waited patiently for 2 weeks, even with prime, but when I received the item I was furious. The bowl doesn’t spin, as if there’s missing pieces or it was built wrong.

Purchased for my woman. Perfect size & easy to use. She was so happy.
