Lifetime Rust Proof Guarantee

Our wind spinners are laser cut from 400 series 18-gauge Stainless Steel to prevent rusting and painted with a special baked on powder-coated paint that gives them a high gloss finish.  There are so many designs to choose from...please check out our whole selection!  If you haven't seen one of our Wind Spinners before, then you haven't seen the brilliant display that they produce.  The angles of cut steel provide several different surfaces for light to reflect from.  As the Wind Spinner rotates, the reflections provide an illusion of the center image expanding to the outer ring of the Wind Spinner.  As the spinner continues to rotate, the reflections continue to pulse causing a 3D holographic-like effect.  Most people that view the Wind Spinners assume they are battery powered, because of the light that they emit, however, the light is actually a series of reflections coming in from different angles and reflected out in a sequence of sharp brilliant pulses.
