FKG 1/8" Inch Bearing Balls 500 Qty

These are precisely what they say, 1/8 inch ball berings.

You need the jaws of life to open this tiny sardine case. That lid is not coming off. Fix it! That's the last time I buy ball bearings from the UK. It's just not worth the stress. Fail.

I replicated a little science toy I had as a kid, sandwiching ball bearings between plexiglass. I can't speak to the tolerances of these ball bearings with a high degree of accuracy, but I can say they worked great for my little craft project. The picture shows they get stuck in the corners where I've tightened the posts, but move freely away from the posts. The plexi layer with the void holding the bearings is 1/8", so I expect there's some compression close to the posts when tightened.

These say they are not magnetic but it seems to have a SLIGHT magnetism. They kinda stick to one another and in the electroforming process they seem to push the copper away. I am still playing with this idea and have made it work. I know this probably won't affect their intended purpose thought.I didn't have any issues opening the container so maybe they fixed that previous issue. I was actually relieved they were in a bag because I was afraid they were going to be loose in the tin! Over all I am happy with these and can't wait to see what all I can do. With them.

Randomly measured a sampling and all were consistent in size.I thought these might be good slingshot ammo, but they're a bit too small to get a good grip on when in the slingshot pouch.Otherwise, consistent and plentiful if your application calls for this size ball bearing.The advertisement notes "Non magnetic", not sure if this is meant to say they are not magnets themselves or that they will not stick to a magnet, so just to clarify, they will stick to a magnet.

These ball bearings come in an impenetrable tin. After two days of trying to open it manually, I tried a jar opener, a conventional can opener, a safety can opener, two bottle openers, and a screwdriver. I finally resorted to hammering in the sides of the tin base until it gave in. I guess it's not a reusable tin.The ball bearings have a net weight of 105 grams and not worth it. That's 3.7 ounces and keep on browsing.The ball bearings are 1/8" in diameter. They seem smaller at first glance, but the ruler says they are 1/8" so I won't argue. I didn't count them. My hands hurt, and I can't be bothered to care anymore.I wouldn't normally give a 2-star review to an item that is as described and functions as expected. However, you should only buy these ball bearings if you get a sadistic pleasure from watching people become increasingly irritated while trying to open an impossible to open container. If you just want ball bearings, move along.

Exactly what I expected. Nice, uniform.I'm using them with a slingshot, and it's exactly what I needed. Good to go.Quality is definitely mechanical service grade.

VERY difficult to open. I used a butter knife to help pry it open, but still almost gave up. The bearings arrive in an unsealed, yes, unsealed bag. I suggest opening it over an empty trash bag just in case! I would order the 1/4 size next time, as these are a bit small for my current craft project. Once you get the tin open the product is as described.
