> 24 hourI love em... I have used a lot of these over the years. These are some of the best I have used. They hold up well and also cut well. I would recommend these for your small finishing or trimminmg jobs.

> 24 hourWill quickly remove rust and polish and deburr metal. They also work chucked into a drill, though slower. These are very abrasive, function more like coarse grit than 120. Would not use for fine sanding of wood, they will leave scratches. I cleaned, polished, and sharpened a rusty pair of long handled pruning shears. The flap sander worked great and only took a few minutes for the whole cleanup. Follow the instructions and soak the disc first, otherwise they are too stiff. Be sure to wear safety glasses, the dust and sparks fly everywhere sometimes right at you.

> 24 hourI havent used many flap wheels but I know they can be pretty aggressive and these definitely are. Keep that in mind when using them. I know not to expect delicacy when using a flap wheel so I only have used them for major removal of wood or Ive also used them to remove rust from metal in order to get down to a better finish. I took the advice thats in the listing and soaked the flap wheel for a couple minutes before using it, then blotted off the extra water and let it spin for a bit before using. Of course stuff is flying everywhere so make sure to where eye protection and grubby work clothes when using these. Try to stay out of the line of spin too in order to avoid the worst of the stuff flying everywhere. That being said, I found this flap wheel to work about like I expected. It takes a good deal of material away rather quickly. As far as durability they seemed to last about as long as I would expect when it comes to a sanding product. Its possible that more expensive name brand wheels would hold up longer but these didnt just quickly give out either. I think it works out in my favor when it comes to duration vs. price. Im happy to keep using these whenever I need a flap wheel for my dremel projects. I dont think theres too much more to say. Best luck. ~Cheers!

> 24 hourWorking on a project with live edges and needed flap type disks. Fits perfectly in my rotary tool and allowed me to sand down the live edge without losing its natural beauty. A flat sanding disk wouldn’t have been able to handle the contour surfaces without removing excessive material. Overall excellent product and great addition to my rotary tool set.

> 24 hourUsing my rotary tool, I gave it a test on some scrap wood (see photo) and it bit right in. I was able to cut a groove in seconds. So, it seems to me to be a bit more aggressive than 120 grit. I took off a star for this apparent inconsistency. Otherwise, these are a great addition to my rotary set. Better yet, Im throwing a few in my drill bag because I see them being helpful when I do something like deck building. There always seems to be a time you need to take off a little of a bad cut or find a way to get around a proud obstruction. These should do well for that purpose. I did not try it on metal. I see no reason that it wouldnt also take off rust as advertised because these have some serious bite to them.

> 24 hourThese a very durable flap wheels, they are very securely glued, I suspect I could sand right down to the knub and never lose a flap. I will say the 120 grit is a very abrasive for most wood detail work and the flaps do not yield much, adding to the extra abrasive qualities of these wheels. These would probably sever better for metal detail work/projects. I wish they listed the grit size on the product, I think it might be on the back of the flaps somewhere, but the writing is so big and the flap is so small, youd never be able to read it. They should print it right on the end, or on the little sticker that lists the wheel size. Overall, a useful product, just know the 120 is very abrasive for wood detail work.
