What is the indicator that it’s time to swap them out? I loved mine at first, but they “seem” a little less effective now. Could be my imagination. I’m noticing hairline scratches even after working all 6 ending with green. Could they have microscopic silver partials embedded in them? Is there a way to clean them? Thanks for the wonderful video!
The bristles will shorten as they are wearing down but ultimately if they are less effective than they once were you should swap them out. 3M are discontinuing these so if you would like to try something similar try the EVE range of radial disc polishers: www.eternaltools.com/eveflex-twist-radial-polishing-discs
Guess what. The inside of fly fishing ferruls ( the metal tube connectors for each fly rod section) can be hard to clean. The metal doughs up and oxidizes. Getting things to fit becomes an issue. These might be perfect. (My rod has very thick sections this thongs could fit into)
Hi Mary - yes, they certainly can, here;s the product page for you: www.eternaltools.com/3m-radial-bristle-polishing-discs Another great rotary tool for de-fuzzing wood carvings are these EVE Fiberwheels:www.eternaltools.com/abrasive-fibre-buff-wheels they work a treat
if you're looking to polish or remove marks from agate then you will need to use a diamond based tool. Something such as diamond paste www.eternaltools.com/diamond-polishing-paste or diamond impregnated rubber polishers www.eternaltools.com/eve-diapol-diamond-polishers
One Positive thing about You Tube, all the learning capabilities and all the great people willing to share that knowledge! Thank you!
Your more than welcome!
I have a 500 piece rotary tool accessory set and never knew what those plastic flap discs were until now thank you
I could happily listen to this man all day, exactly the info I was searching for and charmingly delivered!
That was clear, concise and well filmed. I want to buy some now!

Good idea. If the tubes are very small, you may also like the 1mm pin polishers by EVE: eternaltools.com/products/mini-rubber-silicone-pin-polishers

Thanks for this - it's all I needed to know.
Are these good on most metals? Gold and silver for example. Thanks
Yes, absolutely
Can it be used on plastics?
No, you would be best to use something such as these EVE Soft wheels: www.eternaltools.com/eve-soft-wheel-polishing-discs
Or some Dialux White compound on a felt bob or wheel: www.eternaltools.com/dialux-polishing-compound
Could I use these on something harder like agate?
