🛹 Experience Superior Performance with Mini Skater 16 PCS Silver ABEC Precision Skate Ball Bearings for Longboards (16 Hulled) Review

There are good bearings, but not good when used for spinners. After all the fat is removed, they have roughness and poor spin times, like 25 seconds at best. I gave them 4 stars as they match actual skateboard bearings.

Bought to do a double pendulum with my grandson. I had to soak them in acetone a couple of times to get rid of the grease, which made them almost useless for my purpose at least. Of the 16 I received I was able to use about 8 as bearings and the rest were used as spacers. Rated ABEC 9 and maybe good for a skateboard but not great for anything else.

The bearings I received are not suitable for making spinners. Inside they are filled with grease, which can be useful for other purposes, but this prevents them from spinning freely and not completing even one turn when clicked. Also, they felt a bit sticky due to the fat. I tried cleaning the grease with acetone but those bearings didn't have a removable cover so I couldn't clean the grease. I assume they will work for motors or other purposes, but not for the purpose I intended.

I've read some comments here about them having plastic inserts or being stamped ABEC1 instead of 9. I thought I should join my positive review. The package I bought is very nice. Grease does not drip, but is lubricated at the factory. I soaked them in 3:1 oil overnight before using them in my spinners. Everything has changed. All bearings - metal inserts; There is no plastic here, maybe they adjusted it judging by the reviews? You sent me a great product and I'm going to buy 4 more packs here…
