I have buffing wheels and compound that I use on one end of my grinder, and while it works well, lots of times it is not practical to use. That's what I wanted these smaller wheels for, so I could bring the buffing to the job rather than the other way around.The wheels are okay. I used my compound sticks that I use with my grinder setup because I am familiar with how they work. (Some other reviewers have said the compound included with this set is pretty good so I might try it next time.)Buffing wheels don't have a long life span (that's why they are so messy to use :-( and these are no exception. I don't have any other small buffing wheels to compare to so I don't know if these are good or bad. Just don't expect a very long life.

The disks are well done and work really well.Also I'd like to mention that including polishing compounds with the disk set is a very good idea. You can begin using this set immediately after getting it without search and ordering compounds separately.

The buffing wheels work well to cleanup some blemishes from stain on knife blade. Should work well on polishing chrome, stainless or aluminum surfaces. Nice kit complete with the polishing compound.

I wanted to buff and polish some metal trim on my car. While these are probably meant to be used in a bench mounted grinder they also work great in a cordless drill. I didn't want to take the trim off the car to polish it. I masked off the trim with blue painters tape and put the buffing pads in my Dewalt cordless drill. I skipped the #1 polish because the trim wasn't too bad. I used the medium and fine compounds and the trim came out grea. I'm happy with the results.

I ordered this to have a portable option as I have a bench grinder with buffing wheels but sometimes it's nice to bring the buffer to the project rather than the project to the buffer. That being said it includes instructions of which compound to use with what wheel and how to get the best results. The drill adapter worked well to run them in my drill and I had no issues it was a no brainer to set it up. The wheels are well made and look to last as I didn't have any issues with them falling apart or separating or any pieces falling off when using. The compounds worked as they should and did a nice job polishing and buffing along with the wheels. Overall its a good option for a drill and works well, is easy to use, and easy to put together.
