I tried them as a paper towel holder, with the gear still attached. The lobes made for a tight fit on the towel tube, so they did not pull off nicely. So it was back to a piece of not nearly as cool 3/4" pipe.
I ended up scrapping mine. Though I do have a used jug that I keep pencils in on my desk.
Used jugs a very good cup holder when placed on the floor upside down.
