Hey, that’s offensive to me too haha. Anyway, I don’t see anything wrong with having a kid tap a YoYo them self. The hand tap method will work with a pointed tap, as long as the hole is the right size, not so much for a bottoming tap. Sure the quality will come out better if it’s done on a lathe, but how many kids actually have access to a lathe? If it’s on a cheap YoYo, then I don’t see anything wrong with buying a tapping kit for cheap and doing it them selves. What those kids shouldn’t do is offer to re thread throws for other people without the use of a lathe, as the results can be inconsistent. Also, he got the throw for pretty cheap, I don’t blame him for thinking there’s no need to break out the lathe when it’s much quicker to just tap it by hand.

if only i could like that comment 100 times
