Flat discs good, at least. 20 for $15 is a deal. The rest.

The cup style ones are absolute trash however. I’m using these to remove seam sealer from intricate spots under a car, and two Dremel brand wheels went father than a dozen of these.The flat-disc wire wheels are actually quite good, and worth it for the overall cost. In the event there’s a way to purchase just these from this supplier, do that.I have yet to try the pencil-style ones, and will have quite low expectations going in based on how the cup-style performed.

Pros
  • Power Brushes
Cons
  • The set is not environmentally friendly and contributes to plastic waste

No impressed best in my review

The good news is that these wire brushes will not wear out. The bad news is that the will not wear out because the wire bristles will separate from the base long before they have a chance to wear. Even at half-speed on my Dremel tool the wire bristles start to fly off after the first minute of use. I was using these to remove corrosion build-up on an aluminum bearing carrier for my ATV and they were not strong enough even for that simple task. This set was cheaply priced and I got what I paid…

Pros
  • The set is ideal for cleaning metal surfaces before welding or painting
Cons
  • The set is not suitable for use on outdoor surfaces, such as patio furniture

Beware Very dangerous.

These things fall apart instantly on use. The metal shards shoot out and hit you in face and body. They shards are very difficult to remove from skin and clothing. They end up everywhere. I had several stuck on my face arms and feet where the were tracked in my house and shower. If you don't wear eye protect you will most definitely be severely injured. They should be removed from the market immediately. If you really need to use these, do yourself a favor and buy the original Dremel ones.

Pros
  • The brushes can be used for professional cleaning and restoration services
Cons
  • The wire bristles can become rusty over time, reducing their effectiveness

Gets the job done best in my review

work good but made in china so they fly apart sooner than you'd like, and little metal wires go everywhere beware. The brushes are not effective at removing rust or corrosion.

Pros
  • The wire brushes set is an excellent addition to your tool kit
Cons
  • The brushes are not effective at removing rust or corrosion

What I needed: my feedback

I have a 30 year old Dremel Tool, and this is the perfect set for all my cleaning and polishing needs, I like the three pieces for doing small and hard to get at places.Just use it at slow speeds and they will last longer.

Pros
  • The Rocaris wire wheels set is made of high-quality materials and can withstand wear and tear
Cons
  • The set is not suitable for use on delicate jewelry or other small objects

First time disappointed with Revain purchase

Came in a box all mixed up. Stuck my finger twice trying to separate and organize organize them. The quality looks mediocre. We’ll see how long they last. First time that I have been disappointed in an Revain purchase.

Pros
  • The set is versatile and suitable for use with a rotary tool
Cons
  • The brushes are not effective at reaching tight spaces

Not necessarily the strongest but OK.

Performs as intended but not very durable. The strands begin falling off prematurely with lightweight use. Umbrella shape splayed and wheel frayed.Glad I have 60 pc set.I used them to remove rust from engine exposed to salty air.

Pros
  • STURDY HANDLE - Made of alloy material with high durabulity and hardness, the rod resists corrosion and long-lasting. They can clean all surface easily and quickly to satisfy your different needs.
Cons
  • The bristles on the brushes can become frayed over time, reducing their effectiveness

Don't last in my review

Start to come apart almost instantly, do not use in garage or shop or you'll be picking up little needles for ever. I guess you get what you pay for and I'll have to go back to the name brand from my rotary tool manufacturer

Pros
  • The set does not damage surfaces and is safe for use on delicate materials
Cons
  • The brushes are not suitable for use on surfaces with intricate designs or patterns

this is by far the worst i have used. metal wire flying everywhere getting horrible metal splinters with very little use or force applied. within a couple of minutes more than 50% of the bristles had fallen off now i have to strip clean my garage because everyone is getting metal shards/splinters! DO NOT BUY!

Pros
  • The set is easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • The pen brushes included in the set are prone to unraveling

I use the wire wheels a lot. My issue is the they last less than 5 minutes each, the wire pieces just break and fly all over, I find them in my hair and my clothes. It’s good you get quite a few in the 60 as they don’t last long.

Pros
  • The set is perfect for small and large cleaning tasks
Cons
  • The set is not suitable for use on walls or other painted surfaces

You get a lot for the money, but….

You get a fair amount for the money but they do break down after a while and throw bristles when using them so wear your safety glasses.

Pros
  • The set is perfect for cleaning gutters, railings, and outdoor furniture
Cons
  • The rotary tool accessories can become jammed or stuck during use

Great price in my review

Only used one so far, but it did alright . It wore out kind of fast, but no more then the one I got with my Dremel. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • The set comes with a user manual that provides instructions for use
Cons
  • The wire bristles can be difficult to clean, making it hard to reuse the brush

Good product, does the job.

I like the product, however they could be a bit more sturdy. They burn out a lot quicker than the dremel ones. But they are a better buy than the dremel ones with their flaws still.

Pros
  • Haven't tried them yet but they sure look impressive.
Cons
  • The bristles on the brushes are too stiff and can damage surfaces

Great for the price!

I use a lot of these for cleaning automotive electrical connections and lamp sockets. When used hard, they don't last all that long, but that is to be expected, as the wire bristles are very fine and will slowly break. As such, when using these (or any similar type product), be sure to wear an apron and eye protection! A wire in the eye can ruin your whole day! These are a much better deal than the official ones sold by the makers of the rotary tool.

Pros
  • Excellent selection
Cons
  • The brushes do not have a strong enough grip on the rotary tool, causing them to slip off during use

Didn't last long enough

I bought these to get the tiny corners of a project I was cleaning. My larger brushes just couldn't get in there. Sadly, these brushes did not stand up to the task. The bristles came out within minutes of using them. I was able to finish my project after going through over 20 of these. I had little metal shards sticking in my shirt, all over my floor, and embedded in my arms. Safety gear was a must for these! I will never buy them again.Yes, I dealt with them just so I could finish my project…

Pros
  • The brushes do not scratch or damage surfaces
Cons
  • The brushes can become entangled with hair or clothing during use

dangerous ! on my review.

no one expects these cheap little brushes to last. they are ok for what they cost, however make sure you rare wearing eye protection, you will be peppered with flying pieces as you work. the pieces will also get in your cloths, so wear an apron.

Pros
  • Delivered as described
Cons
  • The bristles fly out easily.

Bristles shed like crazy

These are overall just very poor quality. While they appear decent, the wire used for the bristles is too brittle. The bristles very quickly Crack and shed from the brush. They don't come loose as they are all still attached in the head, just broken off yet above where they are crimped.

Pros
  • The 300-pack steel wire brush set comes with an extensive range of accessories to cater to all your cleaning and polishing needs
Cons
  • The set is not suitable for use on uneven surfaces

Revainrating 5 out of 5

lots of different sizes

I like the amount of brushes for the cost and the different sizes but you need to be very careful because they throw off wires like crazy. Wear long sleeves and face shield and be prepared to have wires sticking in your sleeves. I'm going to try to place a few drops of super glue at the base of each one to see if it might help.

Pros
  • NOTICE - For your safty, MAKE SURE you wear safety glasses as well as other Protective equipment(such as long sleeve rubberized shirt and pants) while using the wire wheel for drill.
Cons
  • The brushes are not effective at removing tough stains or grime

Not Recommended for my opinion

These "wear" out very quickly. The metal brushes fly off and go everywhere and do not last. Not durable. I would not buy again.

Pros
  • They will not last long before loosing bristles. I get about 1 hour out of each brush.
Cons
  • Used brushes for about an hour and had to replace 4 of them. just light work with a Dremel.

Great value on my review.

I've been using these for removing flash rust and a bit of residual paint from cast iron parts that I have stripped for repainting. These parts have mostly rough finish from the sand casting process so they are a challenge to small brushes. They have a lot of inside corners and other features that benefit from a small brush on a rotary tool. I have found that these Rocaris brushes have similar life as the brand name brushes that I have bought 2 to a pack. The key is that I use a variable speed…

Pros
  • The brushes come in different sizes and shapes to cater to different cleaning needs
Cons
  • The wires on the brushes can become bent or misshapen over time
