They work, but fall apart fast

There’s a bunch of them for cheap, they’re good at getting into tight places my fingers won’t fit, like between the fins of an air-cooled motorcycle

Pros
  • These little wire brushes fit perfect and do a good job.
Cons
  • The brushes fall apart with mild use after about 1min even at low dremel speeds….

WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING.

Given the quantity for the price it's a decent deal. These are by no standard high quality but work as expected. I CAN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH TO WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THEM! They throw the wires when in use. I smoked two of the wheel type in about 10 minutes on a brass and copper cleanup project. You get what you pay for. I would probably purchase again.

Pros
  • DURABLE LONG-LASTING - Constructed with internal holding plate to ensure consistency and safety, the wire wheel for drill is solid and durable. Not easy to break or deform. Ideal for removing rust, corrosion and paint.
Cons
  • The pen brushes included in the set are difficult to hold and maneuver

Useful good for money

Great for the use I needed (touching up grout) cheap enough (cost) to be worth the use as they are not necessarily made to grind grout :)

Pros
  • Works great in my dremel
Cons
  • It was too harsh for my needs. But would be great for someone who need a harsh scrub or polish.

Falls apart for my opinion

The value per item was great, but the wires fly out of the brushes as the tool spins. I have ended up with multiple metal slivers from this product. So glad I was wearing safety glasses.

Pros
  • These wire wheels are excellent for cleaning my BBQ grill.
Cons
  • The brush heads fall apart after just a few uses

As good as any on my review.

cheap Chinese made but as good quality as any i've used before. Wear safety glasses/goggles/face shield and protective clothing when using. The fine wire bristles will fly off and embed themselves in your arms, hair and any exposed body part. They did the job of rust removal though and prepped the surface for refinishing quickly and easily. I carefully swept the surrounding area afterward so i did not pick up fine wire bristles in my feet or my dogs feet, when walking barefoot in the area…

Pros
  • You can use the brushes for a variety of DIY projects
Cons
  • The brushes can become clogged with debris, reducing their effectiveness

Work ok, not great - my new review

I was disappointed that the bits fell apart so quickly. I went through twice as many as the name brand. Good thing there were a lot of them in the bag.

Pros
  • Well it’s definitely not the best of quality but thank God you get a lot of them so it gets the job done
Cons
  • The set is not compatible with all rotary tools, limiting its usefulness

falls apart in your eyes

wires are flying off in every direction. I was hoping other reviews were exaggerating but instead they were not bad enough. this is not worth the money even for as many pieces there is. watch your eyes

Pros
  • The brushes are suitable for use on surfaces with different textures and finishes
Cons
  • The rotary tool accessories do not fit securely onto the tool

Cheap, works, but little wires everywhere

These are fairly cheap, that is the good part, you get many of them and they work well.The downside is some of the wires are not that well attached and they fly out. I find them everywhere. Stuck in my shirt, shoes, a couple on my dog days after using it. I haven't used them for 2 weeks, and just found one sticking in my shirt.

Pros
  • GREAT POLISHING EFFECT - Filled with crimped, untempered carbonsteel wire, the wire wheel can remove rust, dust, oxide oayer quickly. Designed for easy access into small and confined areas, pen-shape wire brush remove rust easily.
Cons
  • The wire bristles fall out of the brushes during use, creating a mess

Value ok but wears out quickly

I read previous reviews on this product and many stated that the rotary brushes are junk. I find these brushes ok but do come apart and throw the wire strands. I have purchased similar brushes from McMaster Carr; although theirs was considerably more expensive, they lasted about 5 times longer (wire strands were thrown as well but much less). So the bottom line is: you get more brushes here for the money but you go thru more to complete the job. The bigger negative is all the wire strands that…

Pros
  • The set saves you time and effort during cleaning and polishing
Cons
  • The set is not suitable for use on detailed car parts or engines

Not of Dremel Quality

Wear Eye Protection. Brush bristles fly off while using these brushes. Most of the brushes are one time use.The mfg. could crimp these better to make them last longer. Ok deal for the qty of brushes. Able to get the job done.

Pros
  • The brushes are versatile and can be used on different surfaces and materials
Cons
  • The pen brushes are too small for effective cleaning in most cases

Fall apart at high speeds but still useable and worth the money.

Regretful purchase. They fall apart almost immediately. Slowed the RPM's way down and squeezed a little more life out of a few of them but there are still hundreds of tiny metal bristles in my project. Not good for heavy duty scrubbing/brushing.Update: slowed the RPM's WAY down and they lasted 5-10 times as long. Overall and 'Okay' purchase.

Pros
  • The brushes are flexible and can bend to get into tight spaces
Cons
  • The wire brushes can create a lot of noise during use

Garbage. Lasts seconds.

These are absolutely horrible. They disintegrated within a minute, throwing these tiny metal needles everywhere and effectively made my shirt look like a metal porcupine. The one at the top left in the picture practically exploded in about two seconds without even touching the workpiece.

Pros
  • Abrasive & Finishing Products
Cons
  • The brushes are not suitable for use on painted surfaces

They do what they're supposed to do.

I can't say much about long-term durability but I didn't have any issues using the flat wire wheels at medium speed with the Dremel.FWIW, even the wire wheel bits from Dremel have a fairly short lifespan.Would I buy the same set when all of these are worn out? Yes.

Pros
  • Abrasive Brushes
Cons
  • The brushes can create a hazardous environment by producing sparks during use
