I was glad to find these dowel plugs!

Glad to find these wooden dowel caps. I'm making a rack for storing ribbons. I plan on coloring them to look like fancy pens. I haven't made them yet, so I can't show pictures. They are the same as described. I have to sand the ends of the dowels a bit to get them into the holes so they fit nice and snug.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Perfect dowels for dowels

I have quilted many wall hangings throughout the year and have been looking for the best way to hang them. I took a 1/2" x 30" rod to go through the hanging loops (I use battery powered flashlights to add shine and needed something strong to support the weight of the battery). They worked but looked unfinished. Then I found these butts and voila! - perfect execution. Each recipient loved their tapestry and loved the pegs. I'm buying a few more for 2019!

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Approximately

Perfect for an art project

I used these to attach the wooden dowel end to my daughter's first birthday invitation. They were great for the price and fit well. Even if it was a little tighter I was able to hammer them into the dowel and the weaker ones stayed in place when I painted. I bought gold paint and they were easy to paint. I hardly used any paint as the wood was nice and smooth and easy to cover. I hadn't taken any photos before but for what I needed them for I was very happy with the results!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

The holes are poorly drilled

The holes on these dowels for the dowels should be 3/8" but the 3/8" rod doesn't fit about 3/4 of them. The holes themselves aren't perfectly round, which might explain some of the problems; others appear round but should be smaller. I was able to use a small tool to pop the part out and make the defective ones usable, but that's not necessary. Wooden balls are fine on their own but without a properly drilled and sized hole to use as real dowel caps they are disappointing and not what I would…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

Good quality

I used these to cover 3/8 inch diameter metal shafts. Inserted into 3/8" deep hole.] Hole properly centered with beveled edge. Uniform wood grain. Well finished. No splinters or gouges. Sanded smooth most of the time. (Due to manufacturing process. All units were like this). [ETA: Warning My original one Title was "Good quality for the price". "For the price" turned out to be a misnomer. I have previously purchased several bundles of woodpecker dowel rods from Revain. Revain's price was about…

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions
