Greater than one weekThese 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 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.

> 3 dayThese little flap discs work great! Ive used them with a rotary tool as well as even a power drill and they really do the job. Theyre 120 grit but theyll take metal down quick at high rpm so you have to keep them moving. They do fray up a bit but they keep working until the grit wears down. Id recommend them.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 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 weekI 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.

21-11-2024Will 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.

> 3 dayThe flapwheels are not marked and the grit is more like 60 and not 120. It damaged my work surface.

22-11-2024Tried these out in my drill and spent about 30 seconds polishing the rust off one half of my vise (see photo for before and after). It worked very well and Ill be using these to clean up a lot of items.
