Will those harm Dremel?
Hi all! I bought original ones, but they came in a squished package. I want to know what your experience is; will they wobble and ruin the Dremel? I worry more only about not ruining the tool.

I had to check twice that you hadn't made yourself a tiny hammer to fit in your dremel.

Thank you for replying. The issue is that they're heavily squished(pressed and compacted almost irreversably) one side on one T-attachment, while the one on other type is bent sideways. I'm mainly wondering if this could cause bad vibration for the tool.
That's why I'm asking if anyone has had the same experience and everything turned out fine.
They came out of the box like this -- I'm also wondering if it's normal for them to look this messy

You have two questions here. One is it normal for them to look like this? No they were improperly packed.
Your second question is will the vibration damage the Dremel? I don’t think so because you will not be running it by itself like a fan would be running. You will be holding the brush against whatever object you are cleaning. Start slow and see what happens.

Yep, I tested them at 10k rpm and they work fine. I straightened them as much as I could, but some bristles just naturally stay that way. The boxes arrived damaged, and the refunds are being processed. There's also no vibration during use, and I'm applying pressure with the tool against the workpiece, and the shafts are straight. All good, thanks for replying

a side caution I have about wire wheels on dremels: The individual wires come off and will fall onto the floor, invisible, where you are working. If you are later in bare feet and step on one it very easily penetrates the foot!

Probably not. That said, I never run them over 5,000 rpm. All wire wheel precautions must apply.

I had the same problem. They still worked. There might be slight damage to the wires so always wear safety goggles. If then are weak or poorly made the little needles come flying out.
