The Metal Drifter by Duncan is a metal yo-yo released in 2010 as part of the De-Luxxe series, as a metal version of the Drifter.

Description

The Metal Drifter, which debuted at the 2010 Worlds, is an aluminum Butterfly-shaped yo-yo, much like the Metal Zero, but with a slightly smaller diameter, and a lower price tag, too. It comes with a small "A"-sized ball bearing for long spin times, and Friction Sticker response (Silicone Sticker response for the later models). Because of its retail price being around $30, it is one of the least expensive metal yo-yos on the market, and usable for performing beginning- to intermediate-level tricks. It also comes included with a collectible skull counterweight, giving owners the option of using the yo-yo for 5A (Freehand) play. The Metal Drifter can also be made unresponsive for more advanced tricks by using a dry bearing or a string-centering bearing, such as KonKave or Center Trac. Compared to most other yo-yos in the De-Luxxe series, this is the easiest to purchase.

The sides of the hubs each have a small cap, which can be unscrewed to replace the bolt and nut to allow for wider or narrower spacers to be used. In later versions of the yo-yo, this no longer works due to the lack of spacers.
