> 3 dayWhen used at high RPM (20,000-35,000) the brushes dont stay in a cone shape and instead become a flat wheel and metal shards fly off quite rapidly. When used at lower speeds (5,000-15,000) they do hold the cone shape but metal still flies off and they really dont do much at those speeds. The Dremel version of this brush is more expensive but holds its shape and doesnt have metal flying off, these are much less expensive but are dangerous and dont get the job done. I wont buy these again.

Greater than one weekI was VERY skeptical about buying these because the price was so much lower, but the price was so low that I stood more to gain than lose if these ended up saving me money over the years by not paying top-dollar for the name brand. I bought this along with a couple more Dremel brand brushes. I noticed no difference in performance between both brands for the job I used them on (cant speak to performance beyond that). I used these to remove rust from a motorcycle Im restoring. I used Naval Jelly to break up the rust, and then used the brush, and saw fantastic results. I did notice that both Dremel and TEMO tended to wear out faster if I had the dremel tool speed up too high. Either brand of brushes wore down faster and would even send a few of the bristles flying. I wore safety goggles and Im gad I did! Once I got the speed calibrated the brush didnt wear down as fast. This brush will make fragments fly, and also put particulate dust into the air! Definitely wear appropriate eye, breathing, and skin protection.

> 3 dayShoots little wires everywhere. Life expectancy is about a minute per wheel. Used all ten down to the nub and didnt even make a dent in my project. Safety glasses are a must and cleaning up a billion little wire arrows took forever. The hundred or so that stuck in my shirt and hair were an added bonus.

> 3 dayThe price is fantastic. A Dremel brush is more expensive, but it may be worth it because these dont last at all. Wear goggles! The wire bristles do fly out in rotation or when they break.

> 3 dayI bought these for jewelry making. The brass brush wheels in class produced a fairly high finish. Other reviews have said that these are stiffer. That might explain why the finish is more matte. The thing I found more troubling was the oil that would spread out to the end of the bristles as I used the wheels. I can only assume that there is residual oil in the hub from production. But it left my work oily and dirty. I will spend the money and get the Dremel version next time.

> 3 dayI bought these cause they were quite a bit cheaper than the Dremel brand. But they dont hold up near as well.

> 3 dayThese little gems fit a drill chuck just as well as a dremel motor. They are being used to clean out primer pockets when reloading ammo. They work like a gem!

Greater than one weekthese are decent quality brushes. they wear out after a bit, which is why I bought this 10 pack, but any fine wire brush will wear out if you really put it to work.

> 3 dayNot quite as durable or well made as the Dremel brand ones, but for the price they are a steal.
