The SpinJammer, released in 1998-1999, was one of YoYoJam's very first yo-yos, along with the Dragon Fly. When Dale Bell, the founder of YoYoJam, hand-turned his first prototype yo-yos out of metal in his tool room at Advanced Air International, he figured out right away that they were too heavy, so he devised a mold to match the hand-tooled models. After extensive trial and error in the molding room, the original SpinJammer was finally developed. The yo-yo was sold on the official YoYoJam website in different colors, until it was eventually discontinued in the Fall of 2000.
