[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mine are EZ-Lock 1 1/2"ers, instead of 1", but I'll tell you this, they'll cut through nickel (the metal, not the coin, which is harder than regular steel) when the fiberglass reinforced cutting wheels just won't anymore & start powder/"vaporizing" into dust. I know this 'cause they're what I wound up having to use when fabricating my own custom sized diamond stones from stock sized ones & that's what happened, & they're what I needed to be able to finish the "project", glad I got 'em or I would've wound up having to wait another week or 2 for some to arrive! To sum it up, these are the most hard-core cutting wheels they make. If these don't work, you might need an angle edge grinder..., #100 !

So, I have this cool light fixture. There are 18 exposed Edison style bulbs on it; and boy, is it a very warm fixture for the Gulf Coast of Texas. So, I go and get the Edison style LED bulbs. Well, one of the bulb locations keeps breaking bulbs at the base. Strange.
I measure that bulb socket, and the ceramic insulator on that socket is 1/16" taller than the other sockets. So, it is cutting and breaking the base of the bulbs as they are tightened into and colliding with the socket. I can either, one, get 18 slightly differently shaped bulbs (and either guess if they will work or pay twice as much for them); or two, fix the socket.
I chose to 'fix' the socket. This thing was a straight life saver. I got this wheel and a carbide bit, and this wheel was able to cut the 1/16" off that socket in a zip. It fit inside without a problem, cut straight, didn't get too hot - just darn good. Round over the socket with the carbide bit; and my light fixture is better than new.
A couple things, let this blade do the cutting. It's just an advanced abrasive disc; so if you apply a lot of pressure you'regoing to wipe the abrasive off the disc. Light pressure to control the direction, and that's it.

Worked exactly as expected. I was able to cut a perfectly round small circle in tile for a floor drain. The only negative was that it was time consuming (about 30 minutes) however this was also due to the fact that the tile kept on cracking on me before so I took my time with this diamond wheel and no problems.

Durable and small
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very durable diamond blade that’s really holds up when cutting out old grout. Brought a 3 pack thinking that I would use all of them on this one job but only ended using one to do the whole job.

Screw broke
I was able to use this cutting wheel to remove one ceiling box that otherwise would not have been possible. However, on tackling a wall-mounted receptacle box, the screw holding the disk snapped, rendering the tool useless.

Cut through epoxy without gouging wood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am finishing a piece of oak from a chopped down tree and had a couple occurrences where epoxy spread around the tape, where I didn't want It to go. This tool pulled up the edges without gouging the oak. It works great.

Great for different materials
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first bought this wheel, I wasn’t sure if I needed it, but it works well on hard wood. I tried glass, and it does a great job of carving.
