> 3 dayThe bearings I received were corroded (ok, they are carbon steel and not stainless) and felt greasy. Grease should not be leaking out of these things, even if they are merely shielded and not actually sealed. They were also rough to turn, as though the races and balls were badly pitted, or had dirt inside. I started to wonder if they were actually used, and salvaged from old skateboards. Thank goodness Amazon takes returns. I ended up buying a different bearing for 2x the price, still very cheap, and a much better product. Don’t waste your time with these.

> 3 dayPretty stiff and sticky out of the tube. A little wd-40 to clean them you and loosen them and they work just fine.

> 3 dayworks in a lot of prints for 3d printers. i used to add to prints for a mount for the filament spools and a filament feed guide. greatly reduces tugging and grabbing and i have plenty of extras!

> 3 dayThey work. Theyre decent quality but from what I could tell, not for high precision applications. The center bore wasnt always exactly centered and several spun rough but did work and will be sufficient for my needs. Id guess these were pulled from old equipment as many of the ones I received showed signs of previous external wear. I also had to clean these up as they were sticky to the touch, smelled awful and were initially very difficult to spin.I soaked half in Mineral Spirits and the other half in Acetone. Both methods seemed to clean these up really well and they all spun freely after cleaning. Ill likely repack with better grease when Im ready to use these. For my project, im more interested in lowest possible resistance and not concerned with speed or

> 3 dayI purchased these to use in 3D printed components. Many reviewers commented on how they dont spin freely and some feel gritty. Bearings are made to bear a load and allow it to spin smoothly, and for this they work fine. I am using them for 3D printed projects and havent been disappointed yet. For skating I would recommend spending more and buying a set of quality skate bearings - I have a set of quality skate bearings Ive been rolling on since 2012 (~8 years now). Youll feel the low quality with every roll, I wouldnt count on these to either last as long or be anywhere near as quick and smooth as name-brand skate bearings, but theyre significantly cheaper and almost disposable while still offering a relatively frictionless roll compared to plastic-on-plastic that keeps my designs from wearing out prematurely.

> 3 dayCurrently using one as part of a 3D printed stabilizer for my Z-axis on my Ender 3. Its the perfect fit allows rotation and little wobble. Printing has been going a bit faster and cleaner.

Greater than one weekThese bearings are smooth and seem fairly well made. Unfortunately the manufacturer used a very thick lubricant — probably a heavy grease — so theres quite a bit of friction and they dont spin for very long. If you want them to spin freely with minimal force, youll need to clean out the grease using mineral spirits or maybe WD-40 and then replace it with a lighter grease or maybe just some oil. Ill probably try a different brand next time in the hope that I find some that dont need their lubricant replaced.

> 3 dayClean these bearing out with acetone or similar solvent and they will work pretty good. My uses are under low Load, toys or low rpm applications so I can not comment on high load applications. The 5 star rating is my rating of these performance vs the price. If you are expecting high precision bearing you will need to spend more per bearing.

> 3 dayI ordered these to use as bearings for fidget spinners, I know. These were nice and cheap, and I wanted to give these a go. When they arrived, I noticed a couple had small spots of rust on the inside, so I emailed the company and they replaced them no questions asked and were very responsive and helpful. After decided the rust wasnt really that noticeable, I popped off both shields and then let them soak in gas so it would break loose all the grease (wasnt much). After letting them soak and shaking it a little, I took them out and let them dry. Afterwards, I sprayed them down with RemOil and took them inside. In a pretty light spinner, theyll spin for about a minute! I prefer these over the Bones Reds, simply because they spin longer and theyre cheaper. Overall, great product for the price and great customer service!
