Review on Hanperal Polishing Wheels Dremel Rotary by Doug Hawkins

YOU'LL LOOK LIKE A VOODOO DOLL

I'm really between what I don't like and what I don't like. This is a great price, especially when compared to wire brushes from popular rotary tool brands. I love that they were cheaply packaged in bulk because honestly when I buy wire brushes I don't care about fancy packaging. I like that they are both stainless steel and brass. I was thinking of using them to clean bolts and small parts from cars, work on firearms, just general stuff. The problem is you can hardly use them, they throw away so many wires even at low speeds. In my M12 rotary tool (which is very good btw) they start throwing wires when I use them above speed 2. sometimes even before I link the working material. Same problem on my original Dremel, although I don't remember the speed settings I used for this (I haven't touched the Dremel now that I have the M12). At speeds above 4 they just shred themselves. And since these are relatively thin, soft wires, the lower speeds aren't as effective - as opposed to using heavier gauge wire in a slow-spinning drill. Such a great price, everyone loved it but the reality is I can only really use them for certain jobs and understand that they are likely to be filmed in a job. I'm glad they're bundled in a box because they go fast. I can't let family members use them either, they have no idea how to use an angle grinder safely and will never be able to use them safely without training. We've used our Dremel fairly consistently over the years and they just aren't in the habit of putting on armor to use it. EYE PRO ABSOLUT - I USE A FULL MASK. LONG SLEEVES, LONG PANTS, HEAVY CLOTHING AND GLOVES. SERIOUS. I SELECTED THIS FROM THE T-SHIRT LIKE HALF AN HOUR AFTER REMOVING A FEW SCREWS. I will probably not order again despite the attractive price. I just can't use them effectively enough at the extremely low speeds needed to avoid looking like a voodoo doll. I would gladly pay twice as much for higher quality.
