> 3 dayThese bearings are not hardened as advertised. Upon disassembling, the bearing races and even bearing balls were not hardened and could be easily deformed with slight pressure between pliers and were also easily filed with low grade carbon steel hand files. The wobble was also significant, with the inner shaft and outer being able to skew in excess of 4 degrees without load. The seals were also garbage with holes and flashing still present, but that of lesser importance. Perhaps a more telling sign is the warning in the photo: Note... not professional bearings. That is, these are not bearings any company would use in a consumer product. Because they are not precise, wear will increase. Because they are not hardened, they will easily abrade away. The thick grease is likely there to disguise the rough texture of the races and the already malformed balls. If you use these bearings, do not do so in an expensive piece of equipment or in a skateboard where a bearing failure could mean a trip to the hospital. Go ahead and drop the same amount of money on 6-12 good bearings from a reputable source. If, however, you are going to make a fidget spinner, go nuts. Thats about the only use where quality is of second concern.

> 3 daySo the price is good and they are bearings. Not very smooth, so like not for fidget spinners and the like. I’m sure they work for certain applications

> 3 dayGot these for my rollerblades and theyre just OK. Im sure there are plenty of uses for bearings that dont need to be as efficient (electric skateboard, etc.) so if you have something like that, this would be a pretty stellar deal. However, for skates and regular skateboards that you use often, you may want to look elsewhere. UPDATE: After attaching them to my skates and riding them around a little bit, they seem to have loosened up and are now gliding much more efficiently. Raising rating from 3 to 4 stars.

22-11-2024These are not suitable for skating, or fidget spinners. They are full of heavy grease, and the plastic cover rubs on the inner bearings balls. The bearings are probably made for very heavy machine loads, because the ball cage is metal and double sides. Even de-greasing them and re-applying a light lubricant will not work. Maybe for other uses this bearing is OK, but definitely not OK as a skateboard bearing, which is what the product has in the title during the time of purchase and review.

> 3 dayYup, they are bearings. But would not give above a C rating for condition, even at this price. Packing was lacking. All just in a big bag. I found at least 3 different labels on the seals so thinking its a mixed batch of brands. Probably why some seem ok and some not so much. Also cleanliness control was lacking somewhere. as several of them have heavy grit all over. Normally would not care that much, but considering the seal is questionable on many of them as well, its likely the grit got into some. Wanted to use out of the bag, not have to clean and re-lube before use. One seal was missing a part altogether, and others have gap where you can see the bearing inside. Would have been just as well to get non-sealed bearings.

> 3 dayI rarely leave negative reviews, but this was an incredibly poor quality product. I should have realized that a 100 pack of skateboard bearings would not deliver the best quality or consistency, but I bought this without better judgement. I sheared my first 2 bearings in the first week. I shredded a couple more before I finally vowed to not use these again. I suppose these cheap quality bearings could be used in a pinch, but they are slower (more friction) than good bearings, and will break WAYYY quicker than any quality materials. You will get good at riding without functional bearings if you try to use these very long.
