Which direction? The bolt through area or the wheel outer diameter? Just wondering if I could chop 1/8" or whatever off the length to make them fit, obviously that won't work if its the outer diameter. Thanks

Yeah, really wondering if they fit the HF tool. Looking forward to going to town on a 8x12 tilt trailer I have had for years.

I doubt my kitchen countertops are so far out of level that mine didn’t read correctly.
I suspect the gimbal mechanism or whatever they use was stuck.
Anyway, as noted, it was pretty lightweight. No where near as robust as the one I ordered a couple of years ago.
I went ahead and ordered some, figure worse case I will send them back. I will have them Friday and can see if they fit and let everyone know, but not sure if they will still be on sale when I find out. Won't be until like 8pm Friday when I get home. Same time zone as you.

Ha! I did the same thing.
Outer wheel diameter doesn’t clear the guard. You can force it on, but it will scrape when turned on.
That problem should correct itself pretty quickly I would imagine.
Got mine today and it works as intended. Fantastic for $8.
My ZKTOOL Lift Support Clamp with Brass Core Protection, Red Hood Strut Clamp and Spark Plug Caliper 2-in-1 Tool, 14mm Spark Plug Gap tool, Hood Lift Support Clip, Car Hood Clamp arrived. Very nice for the $3.50
Also bought a couple of the drums.
So far Only One has shipped.

I think that's the same one I got when it was $25. Not bad, especially for the price.
I grabbed one back then too. Actually bought 2 and gave one to a buddy. Think it was $23 and this one did not show I had previously purchased. I have used that one several times since buying and it is pretty darn nice for the $23. Likely is same **** different name.

Figured I would give these a shot. Probably won't use them for bench work, but always nice to have a spare "knock-around" set. And the attachments usually fit others...
The tweezers is worth that price alone. I use similar to check color and polarity on surface mount LEDs. Meter will power 3v to them.
And here is another Drum that won't fit.

You have my permission.
Carry on.
These wheels are all still on sale. I tried them on my harbor freight surface conditioner and they are like 0.10 too large. They will go on but it's tight. I am going to clearance the large center hole and slot the bolt holes on the shield so I can move it a little, there's not much room to move but it looks like probably enough.

If the ones I bought are too big for my knock-off SCT I will probably cut the guard around the radius and weld in a 1/4" wide spacer for clearance. (They are due to be delivered next week.) I will circle back here with an update.These wheels are all still cheap, I tried them on my harbor freight surface conditioner and they are like 0.10 too large. They will go on but it's tight.

Heh.
I am working on a solution for this as well. There's limited space for movement between the tool body and the guard, but probably enough. I am also looking to cut and add a strip, but if that does not work, I may model one up and 3D print some in ABS. Then it could be shaped around the tool body.

Thanks guys for the info. I will look at the sander and see about slotting the holes as well. Seems like a good compromise.

Just got these today. Tweezers look pretty good, the ends don't fit perfectly flush into the plastic, but not too bad. For some reason, there is only a small molded + and - on the ends (very hard to see), so probably wrapping one end with red electrical tape so I can easily glance and see which end is positive. The alligator clips are junk (terminal ends are simply )( squeezed together), and the long points don't fit on the leads included (the leads have too long of a metal probe), but the long adapters fit fine on another set, so it works out. And the hook probes don't match aesthetically to any of the rest (looks like a different contract), but they look to be fine. The hook probes have spring loaded banana plugs, vs the shielded plugs on the others.
Overall, well worth the $4 it cost me, and probably worth it at the normal price of $9. The regular probes read .1ohms, the tweezers read .8ohms, the hook probes were about .5ohms and the long probes bounced around, but the lowest I saw was about 3 ohms (but may have been the connections).
I put a piece of red heat shrink on the Pos side.

Yeah, hard to argue at this price point, but would have been nice to have it color-coded to start
That's crazy. It's tiny. And gets good reviews. The regular price of $70 seems dirt cheap if it works as well as the reviews indicate.

I bought one before midnight (eastern time) at the sale price but now shows $59 for me, too
Looks like "the zon" just upped the price. I was considering one just to play with or have as a spare. A welder on YouTube reviewed, claimed underpowered. Really, its still cheap at $60
