MetMo Stainless Steel Gear Train

Well made and very satisfying however it’s possible for the first gear to slip past the second due to flex between the two gear stacks. Not unexpected really but for the price I would have like to see less flex or a cap to keep the two gear stacks rigid.

I find this item just so unexpectedly addictive. The tactile satisfaction is immense. I love that I can fully disassemble and play around with the positions of the spacers. I've doubled up on the spacers in the middle section, borrowing from the bottom section and that allows my fat fingers to get a better hold and turn the central cog.

extremely satisfying

Like the Piston, Gear Train is another precision made out-of-the-box design fidget for a unique experience. Although the bottom half of both stacks of gears are immovable, the overall length is perfect for holding it and manipulating with one hand. After each session of random fiddling, it’s fun to figure out the necessary moves to get it back in locked position. Can’t wait to see what you guys dream up for the next innovative fidget.

My MetMo Gear Train in steel (I also have one in brass and aluminum) is another amazing mechanical device, to play with, to learn from, and to appreciate as art. It is a simple but unusual creation, with MetMo’s precision design and engineering, extensive testing and exacting production. Gears are usually rather sharp on their external edges, but MetMo has carefully rounded these to make it very comfortable in the hand and fingers, Gear ratio is a doubling behind the outside and inside wheels and, with the extended stacking, it is easy to appreciate the differing rates of movement. Sitting on a table or shelf provides a very artistic visual, beautifully framed in whatever lighting is available. Very special !

Spun 16,384 times so as to return to the original positions --- never skipped a beat.

This gear train is the best fidget yet. Absolutely love it, these guys make the best quality stuff.

Brilliantly crafted. Absolutely love it!

My son loves his metmo fidget! Best thing ever!

I like to take my gear train with me. I’ve found that this case is the perfect size for protecting my gear train on the move. https://shop.geekria.com/products/geekria-ultrashell-case-compatible-with-marshall-mode-ii-jbl-t280-tws-sennheiser-momentum-true-wireless-2-true-wireless-headphones-replacement-protective-hard-shell-travel-carrying-bag-black?srsltid=AfmBOorHMYBNuPyK6tIgGLiJ3P_0uutH4ypSNu_5898gRWwut3ASJMLf

A great little item to fiddle with, very well built, looks and feels sturdy and precise

Fun to play with, has not gotten boring after a week. Excellent workmanship.

i really love how solid the gear train feels, and it's overall heft. it's great to play around with while sitting in conference calls, during long drives, and while chilling on the couch. One note - it does show up as something 'funny' if you bring it in your carry-on luggage (at least at Toronto Pearson airport), but the minor inconvenience of a secondary luggage check was a small price to have it with me on the plane.

J'ai été diagnostiqué autiste tardivement et par la suite, j'ai découvert que les fidgets jouent un rôle prépondérant dans ma vie, au point que je ne peux m'en passer. Toutefois c'est très difficile de trouver un fidget de qualité, à la fois beau, spécial, bien fait et utile. Le geartrain remplit tous critères, mais il est tout particulièrement unique et bien fait. C'est une très belle pièce.

Was marketed as a sturdy metal material, but what was received is more like a cheap aluminum gimmick that skips gear teeth all the time and is extremely lightweight and does not feel sturdy at all! Straight into the garbage...

satisfying curiosity object

Perfect. Everything about Metmo has been perfect. From their products to their customer service.

Suggestion: I think the axles need to be a little tighter in the support block. They are slightly wobbly and so the most proximal gears do not mesh very well. I have to hold them together to prevent the first couple of gears from slipping.

Amazing! You’ve hit it out of the ballpark- this little fidget is really nifty!

Superb quality. Hours of enjoyment. One minor comment - needs a spot on device to store locking pin while spinning gears through their cycle.

Once again, I am surprised by how amazing Gear Train is and a big thank you to the entire METMO team.One small negative thing when you sent this Fractal vise, there was no customs charge when it arrived in Finland, but unfortunately there was customs charge for this Gear train. Why?

Aside from the shaft holding the great train loosening up this is an awesome toy. The gears got out of time due to the shaft leaning. But all is well once I tightened them up.

Gear support rods came loose resulting in catastrophic disassembly. Reassembly proved successful and resolved issues. Now all turns very freely and is an amazing fidget toy.

Has the ratio of 16,000+ turns has been done in an afternoon! It has if it's measured by the locking gear, or am I making an embarrassing boob? The locking gear is what gets pinned but the final main gear which I presume is the 16,384 gear on the bottom of the main barrel has no markings! Is this where the final ratio should be measured? If so marked cog in the mail would be nice. Also my unit came apart with use, luckily I didn't loose any pieces and have the correct Allen key to put it back together again. The general feels of the thing is weighty and solid, I have the Stainless Steel version which is very shiny. Spinning 4 or 5 cogs down gives you a real machine click as it meshes.I like it, but every new product has its teething I suppose.Ray

Originalité, robustesse, effet de surprise.

One of my earliest memories is going to my dad's workplace on a Saturday morning. He worked at a local firm called 'Allan Green and Sons' when they were in Sutton in craven. Used to watch him for hours cutting gears, often running many machines at once. The coolant oil hung heavy in the air, wooden crates with all sorts of gears in different stages of manufacture. This fidget brings back fond memories of the early 1980's.I think I may have to treat myself on my 50th this year !!!
