> 3 dayI use this type of flap wheel all the time and have always purchased the name brand ones. It was just too tempting not to try these when I could get 10 of them for less than the price of two of the others. I was worried about durability. While they do seem to wear down slightly faster than those I had been using these are still a huge bargain.

Greater than one weekI find that these Rotary Flap Wheels are useful for smoothing the edges of hard plastic and metals. They are easy to use. They will last longer and do a better job grinding if you wet them down before use. Be sure to wear safety glasses because little bits of the material being ground, bits of sand, and water, will twirl off the rotating wheel.

> 3 dayWorking 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.

> 3 dayFlap wheels are a staple in any rotary tool/flex shaft accessory kit; they offer an easy way to carve, smooth, and blend curved areas of a surface. The Rocaris 10-pack, at about $1 per wheel, is about one-half to one-third the price of my favorite name-brand flap wheels. As you might expect, theyre not quite as well put together as the more expensive versions: The glue joints can be a little uneven, the trim on the flaps can be kind of haphazard...but given the abuse these wheels get, its probably a minor issue. From what Ive seen in my first wheel, theyre not going to last as long as some, but again, at the price thats a minor issue. Less minor: They are positioned as 120-grit AlOx wheels, but as others have noted they seem more aggressive than that. The initial cutting is more like an 80-grit at least. However, after a couple hours use, they soften up to about where I expected them to be, out of the box. (Hint: If youre buying inexpensive abrasives, its ALWAYS a good idea to test them on a piece of scrap (metal, wood, glass, stone), and compare them to what youre used to.)

Greater than one weekCurrently working on refinishing some metal baseboard radiators that were looking tired and rusty. I used these in my Dremel to get at areas a palm sander couldnt get to as well as to focus in on particularly rusty spots as well as decades old paint blobs. Definitely sped up the process and reduced the pre-sanding time as I prepared the parts for new paint. Exactly what I was expecting.

> 3 dayThese are good and worked great in my Dremel for sanding on tight corners on wood when prepping for refinishing furniture. Smooth nice finish once removing current coatings and finish

> 3 dayThese sanding wheels are a go-to for using with a dremel. Happy to find a multi-pack for a reasonable price point. They are holding up well to light sanding/carving in soft woods. Overall, a great dupe for the name brand version and much more economical.

> 3 dayThese 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.
