I typically despise cheap tools but I've gotten a couple off of things off of Amazon recently that are working real well for me. The 42" flexible Dremel shaft was $12.98. The little buffing kit was $12.98. The 3M equivalent is about $50. I've had the flexible shaft for several weeks and it's been working great. I just got the buffer set yesterday and used it for the first time this morning so I don't know how it will hold up but it worked really good. Remove tool marks off a wire wrap and kind of buffed up the whole thing a bit.  |

I'll be curious how the no name ones hold up rockbrain. The price is certainly right . I've always called them "spiders".

wpotterw Spidersliveoak Patty I think I saw them called spiders too. I'm also curious how they hold up but since these are the only ones I've owned I don't have anything to compare them to.

I have 3/4" & 1" and even a 3" set that goes on my Redwing buffer.
They are pretty handy to have.
They last a long time, and just get smaller as you use them.
Usually with the smaller ones ( 3/4 & 1" ) I stack 3 of them on the mandrel.
Just be aware that you might want to stack them to cover more surface area, vs a narrow single wheel.
But re-looking at your photo, you obviously already got that :-)
