Drum Mandrels – 24 pieces shank reusable sanding drum are divided into three diameters (1/2″, 3/4″, and 1 inch) “, 3/8″ & 1/4″), each with 8 pieces of each siz. All rotary tools, such as Dremel and others, are compatible with this common and standard size.
Home improvement, artwork, and woodwork all benefit from this essential accessory, which comes in six sanding grits (80-120-240-332-400-600-grit) and is used for smoothing surfaces and curving edges, polishing both soft and hard materials, such as woodwork and home improvement projects, as well as for artwork and woodwork.
The drum mandrels have a self-expanding rubber cushion, which keeps the sanding bands firmly attached to the mandrel and allows for better finishing. If the sanding band does come loose from the mandrel while in use, check that the drum has been screwed down tightly and that the sanding band is wearing closely to the sleeve.
Please remember to wear professional safety glasses to protect your eyes, as there may be flying grits when the sanding drum is turning at a high speed, which could cause injury.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this is simply an assortment of three sizes and six grits, as well as mandrels, thrown into a box.
I intend to take care of them, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. As a result of the way the different sizes have been nestled within each other within this box, I do not anticipate that everything will fit back into the included box once they have been separated out into baggies. As a side note, because of the nature of rotary tool sanding drums (surface area vs RPMs), I believe these will be of adequate quality when I need to use them because even the name brand drums have a relatively short life expectancy (see below).
I understand that the packaging is a sort of trade-off for the price, and I’m okay with that. In addition, as another reviewer has pointed out, there are two different sizes of collet required, and the largest sanding drum makes use of the mandrel equipped with the smaller collet. Even if you don’t work with rotary tools very often, enough to purchase an assortment of sanding drums like this, you’re likely to have a few different collets lying around, as I do, which is a little strange. The 1/2″ mandrel has a 3/32″ shaft, but the smaller mandrels have the more common 1/8” shaft “What are your thoughts on this.
One star deducted for the cram-it-all-into-an-undersized-box packaging, and another deducted for the undersized mandrels that did not come with a collet, respectively. If you understand what you’re getting yourself into in terms of these two issues, the sanding drums themselves appear to be excellent.
