18-11-2024They work well so far, haven’t used them enough to know how well they will hold up but they do seem made decent, nothing to special or heavy duty . They work for what I needed them for so far. I tested them on sanding a few small pieces of wood I needed done and it worked. Will update review after use if anything changes.

> 3 dayCurrently 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 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.

> 3 dayDESCRIPTION: This is a set of ten abrasive flap wheels, intended for use in hand-held motor tools such as a Dremel brand. The dimensions are 32mm (overall diameter) x 10mm (width of individual flaps) x 3mm (shaft diameter). --------------- POTENTIAL USAGE: I used this product as intended, in a hand-held Dremel tool. It worked as expected on wood and metal surfaces. As with any powered abrasive tool, it sheds a lot of specks of abrasive, so proper personal protection is essential for safety. I generally work under a plastic shield, but I removed the shield for the staged photo. The 1/8 (3mm) shaft also fits in a stationary drill press for constant medium-speed use. This worked well for smoothing edges of wood pieces. The shaft also fits in a portable cordless screwdriver for slow or variable-speed use, and would work well for irregular surfaces such as automotive panels, deburring pipes, or in locations without AC power. Since these tools are reversible, it is important to be sure the flap wheel is turning in the correct direction (as if you were tightening a screw). --------------- MY USAGE: I primarily use these for polishing and brightening the wheels of model train locomotives. These wheels must be kept spotless as they provide the electrical connection to the locomotive. While holding the locomotive in a cradle (see photo) I could easily address the wheel surfaces using a light touch. I had previously used a little wire brush wheel for this purpose, but that was a bit too aggressive for this use. --------------- Note the online listing for this product specifies 120 grit in the description, but 80 grit in the illustration; so not sure which is correct.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThese were just the right size to use on my water pump. I wanted to clean inside the ports. I am used to flap wheels will a larger shank (1/4) but these smaller 1/8 shank worked fine. Will need to get some with a coarser grit for other projects. Would buy these again. Thumbs up.
