Loretoy Flagpole Ring Set with Bearings, Aluminum Alloy Flag Pole Rings, 360°Rotating Flag Mounting Ring, Spinning Flag Pole Clips Kit with Carabiner for 0.75-1.0 Inch Diameter Flagpole|Silver-2 Pack

Has performed well so far through all kinds of weather.

These are, so far, the best flag rings ever!! I had previously purchased flag rings that were adequate but had no bearings. My flag invariably would end up wrapped around itself. I took a chance on these and can't be happier and surprised at how well they work!!! They spin with ease and the flag remains floating free as it should. The quality and ease of installation make them great. I am very happy and would definitely recommend these!!

This replaces the cheap plastic ones, which actually served me well for nearly 2 years. The plastic cracked when I tried to tighten onto the pole. Anyway, hard to understand how excited I am to have these. They seem very high quality. I have a 3x5 American flag, and these rotate well in the wind. Some of the reviews say the bearings were rough, NOT my experience with the 2 sets I bought. In a lighter wind the flag is ALWAYS going to fall back on itself and appears to be tangled, but the light wind also gets the flag right again. I did not see the Stanwood (USA made) product until after I orders 2 sets of these. I can’t imagine they are any better than these, but I probably would have bought Stanwood even though they are over twice as expensive! If I got 2 years out of the crap plastic ones, I better get 10 years out of this product. UPDATE: In just under three years the bearings rusted to the point where they did not work well anymore. I ended up buying the Stanwood American made ones with stainless steel bearings. They are awesome!!!!

Good quality product, fit my standard pole well. I tried several other swivels that didn't work very well. This set has Ball bearings that swivel easily to prevent the flag from wrapping around the pole. Last pair stood up to the weather for almost 4 years then the bearings rusted. I should have lightly oiled them each time I change flags, about every 6 months or so. This replacement set ensures no more flag wraps for 4 more years.

First thoughts on unboxing these rings were, well built, great design, very smooth rotation. I installed them via the directions that came in the box. However, within a few months noticed a gap opening up between the inner collar and outter brg. I came home a day later or so and found my flag all scrunched up at the bottom of my flag pole. Come to find out that the inner and outter part of this niffty diffty brg ring needs to be installed exactly opposite of what the directions say so that the tugging and jerking the flag does day to day does not cause the inner and outter rings to pull appart. The concept, the design, and operation is great, like i said before. Installation directions are wrong. I flipped my rings and they havent come appart now in a long time. Just a few drips of oil every now and again keeps the smoothness in operation.

The old nylon ring sets on my 1" diameter flag pole decapitated in time. These aluminum sets will last a lifetime and have very good ball bearings for easy rolling when the flag blows in the wind. I like the hex screws that secure the set to the pole and comes with an Allen wrench and an extra set of hex screws if you need them. The polished chrome set accents the chrome ball top perfectly. A very good product at a fair price.

I've had these for almost 4 years. Only recently was it necessary to lubricate them. Until then, they did a fine job of preventing any of my flags, regardless of weight, from wrapping around the poles. So, I've absolutely no complaints. They are everything that they should be.

First impression is the *weight* of these - they *feel* stout and sturdy, and *appear* to be a high-quality item. Note the installation instructions that come with the product are correct but the image on the item's page on Amazon is not. Quick and easy installation and after 24 hours, they appear to keep the flag from being tangled as advertised! Also for entertainment value, note the product "comes with a gift box, a great choice for gift!" so you don't have to worry about Christmas presents this year, I guess? ;) Note there are two different sizes, these fit poles up to 1 inch diameter. Check your pole diameter before ordering.

Update Dec ‘24: Still spinning as nice or better than new, no rust visible on the bearings, must be stainless. Works like a charm. Actual ball bearings. No more tangled flags. Huge difference to the glider rings I’ve had before & tested all kinds of snake oils on to no avail. Aluminum housing with shiny bearings inside, no seal visible, I’ll report back after one year how they stand up to the elements.

Exactly what your flag pole needs, it would be nice if they came in different sizes, I have a 2nd pole with a diameter of 1.35" and would like to have these installed, however very few options for bigger poles.

This worked great to fix an old fibreglass flag pole that would have been trash...if you have a pole that is smaller than the inner diameter of this unit its easy to fix with a PVC split sleeve you can make yourself. The only thing I would suggest is put locktite on the threaded ring retainer...I had one come loose from the constant moving in wind, but it was quickly fixed with locktite and no issues since.

Unit is well build and shipped in its own special box, but its not designed to fit all mast sizes if you have a 1/2" mast say like a navigation light maston a bioat you will need to increase the size of the mast with some tape or other material, but otherwise its great.

No ball bearings, not even close to resembling the photos in the ad, no brand name anywhere, just cheap aluminum rings on an aluminum body. Returned.
