15 Pack Carbon Steel Wire Wheel Brush, Rocaris Cup Brush, Wheel Brush, Pen Brush Set with 1/4-Inch Hex Shank for Rust Removal, Corrosion and Scrub Surfaces

I LIKE THIS SET . THEY ARE THICK WITH WIRE BRISELS . I PURCHASHED SOME OF THESE FROM A HARDWARE STORE YEARS AGO , THEY WERE NOT AS WELL MADE AS THESE ARE . COMBINED WITH A DRILL AND YOU CAN CUT SOME RUST QUICKLY . I WILL PURCHASE THESE AGAIN , WHEN NEEDED .

These have turned out to be quite handy at surface prep and metal clean up. I've had success with removal of loose paint, caulking , and minor surface rust ( Automotive prep application) . These s are designed to fit a basic drill chuck. The variable shapes afford a multiple of surface "access" solutions. Wear your safety glasses folks, as if the wire brush is handled aggressively, the wire fibers will shoot off in small pieces.

These wire wheels are great for a small job because they are small . Worked good for me , I’m sure they will be useful down the road.

Obviously there are many uses for these types of wire brushes, most common is probably rust removal. However, I use them for cleaning stainless steel pans. No matter how hard I try to keep the temperature under control while using ss pans I seem to always leave my pan looking awful. Meaning that the pans have burned on oil stains that don't come off with dish soap and are very difficult to remove even with the tried and true bar keeps friend. So I bought these to help the process and they work great. Even the toughest stains are removed with a little work. The variety of brushes let you pick which ones you feel best using. As you can see from my pictures, there is still some stubborn flecks of burned on material but I wasn't trying to go for perfection.After I use this brush I hit the pan with some bar keeps friend and it looks nearly new. Now obviously this will leave some micro scratches on the ss pan, however not much different that using an abrasive side of a sponge. I only use this on stainless steel pans and my outdoor grill which are both thick gauge. Do not use this method on cast iron or non stick cookware.The construction of the brushes appear to be high quality and the different sizes make this a good deal. The brushes are firm as opposed to flimsy - so caution when handling. I would be surprised if this wasn't my last purchase of these types of brushes for my intended use and any other uses that may come up.I will note, before purchasing this I used a brass wire brush that I had purchased for removing flaking paint on the car roof "gutters" (to prep for rattle-can respray) that was about 4 inches in diameter. It was difficult to control in my drill. Also, it was advertised as brass but I'm not sure if it actually was or just plated brass. It was however, a little bit less abrasive than these so some brass brushes may suit your needs for this purpose.Edit: I had a chance to use this on my Wolf gas cooktop. I added the pictures. I was curious as to how these brushes would work on the underneath surface which is also ss. They work well as you can see from the results. It does leave "scuff" patterns which are micro scratches. Again, not that much different from using bar keeps friend. The pictures show you what you see after the grates are placed back in (notice the rust on one of them) and you would not really notice -- or if you did or someone else did -- wouldn't care.. We are not worried about the micro scuffs as the tradeoff for quick cleaning a nasty stove or pan is worth it. Now of course quickly getting to stains and cleaning more often is ideal, but often times it doesn't work out like that.As you can see from the crud on the downdraft exhaust surface, that is what the burner surface looked like prior. This brush made quick work of it with gentle use. I do use a smaller drill as you can see -- its the 12 volt bosch. Smaller and easier to get around.

I do a lot of grilling in the summertime and when I opened up my grill this spring, it was a nightmare. So, thinking out of the box a little bit I came across these wire brushes and thought they might be the perfect thing to clean my grates and the walls and base inside the grill. Turned out to be a great idea. With very little effort, the various sizes and shapes of these wire brushes were able to get into the nooks and crannies and have made my grill look like new again.

Firstly, these work well enough, but I did not receive the pieces advertised. I ordered the "6 piece pack" and got 5 individual brushes; 2 large rounds and 3 small rounds, but no radial brushes. I'm not overly upset, but it would have been nice to actually get the pieces advertised.Having said that, they work fine. They're very obviously cheap import no-name quality, but they get the job done. So far none of them have violently come apart or thrown steel bristles anywhere. I used them to clean up a transmission before painting, but I'm certain they'll have other uses down the line.

I used these wire bushes with my impact driver to remove rust from a rotor I had to pry from its mount. The brushes worked great and I plan to use them for some under-carriage rust removal.

I have used these wire wheels for many things, and have yet to wear one out. When they stop performing well in a clockwise direction, I simply switch to using them in reverse. I have cleaned up rusty steel, aluminum and steel gasket mating surfaces, and all manner of other things. They are much more effective than hand-powered wire brushes, and I have gotten more use out of these things than I expected.You should definitely wear safety glasses, so as to reduce the risk of taking a wire to the eyeball, but the amount of wire loss has seemed completely reasonable to me.
