> 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.

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.

> 3 dayThey 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 dayWhen mounted in my Dremel rotary tool and run at maximum rotational speed, one of these flap wheels did a good job in… | • … removing a patch of rust from a badly rusted piece of steel (photo 1). | • … removing the OD burr from an abrasive-wheel-cut piece of conduit (photos 2A and 2B). The wheel ran smoothly, and I detected no obvious rotational imbalance, neither at the beginning of my tests nor at the end. I can see that these wheels will be a handy addition to my rotary-tool assortment. At this point I find no fault with this product and therefore give it a full five-star rating.

> 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.)

> 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.

Greater than one weekNice sanding wheels for guitar making. There are many curves that are easier to manage using these. Perfect for small projects and strong.

> 3 dayComparing one of these to some others including name brands, the quality isnt as good. Just looking at them you can see the difference, but they still can do the job. They do seem to wear a bit faster though, but the price is pretty good and if you dont mind changing them out every so often, then they are still a good value.

> 3 dayWill 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.
