2 Pack Wire Wheel Brush Wire Wheel Brush for Drill Attachment, Rocaris 2 Inch Heavy Duty Wire Brushes Removal Paint Rust & Corrosion, 0.0118 Carbon Steel Wire, 1/4in Shank, 20000RPM

I was excited about getting and using this wire brush wheel and it exceeded my expectations. The reason is that this is wider than many others so it runs much more smoothly on whatever you are trying to smooth or brush out. Others that are narrower tend to bounce, or grab, which causes the brush to bounce up and off what you are working on. This brush was much more uniform on running on the work surface. With it being wider, you get a more uniform brush action and less of a possibility of cutting into softer materials such as plastic or wood. This will now be my “go to” wheel to use to clean rust off tools such as shovels accidentally left outside. Yes, there will be times I will need to use a narrower wheel, but as I am an elderly man, using this with a strong grip of my drill, this is now my favorite wire wheel to use and control.

I am restoring an antique cast iron dinner bell that has sat outside for about a century and then in a barn. I needed something to take all the rust and stuff off of it. These work great for that purpose. It is a large bell and 2 of these were perfect.

This is good sized wire brushes to use with an electric drill.

I used these attached to a multi-foot long bit extension to clear out the inside of an agave stalk for the purposes of making unique wind instruments. I found the bristles of this end up getting chocked full of the pulp but that it also helps keep them from getting overly aggressive with piece. For wood, these will definitely grind away anything soft and leave the harder parts of the wood scratched but not ruined. Im thinking I might try something a little more aggressive for the bulk of the work and then switch back to these as a milder approach to the outer edges before switching to something even less aggressive.

These wire wheels work well on a drill or in a drill press, but the relatively slow speed of a drill, and therefore slow speed of progress in removing rust, would lead me to use another tool if possible. These small brushes could be handy for hard-to-reach situations when it is not possible to either bring the work piece to a wire wheel on a bench grinder or reach the work area with a wire brush on an angle grinder. In a high-speed hand air tool, a small wire wheel like this would work much better than on a drill.

These wire brushes will fit most electric drills. The wire itself is sturdy and does a good job removing rust and so on. Each of these 2 brushes is 2-inches in diameter.

These do too well if you are careful. One needs to be gentle when, say trying to remove paint from metal. Wood? Not so sure what to say. Plus, they do a good job sticking my fingers when holding them. Need them though.

Small diameter and very stiff bristles, but there are times where they might work better than larger wheels. If youre only going to have one wire wheel though, a brass 4- or 5-inch wheel would be an all-around better choice.

Wire wheel is as described, heavy duty. The wire is stiff and densely packed on the head and is more dense than I was anticipating. Vendor description says high carbon steel, and it is based on spark from metal-on-metal, but Id be shocked if there isnt a little nickel in there just based on the wires color. I used my DW drill on some spray foam which it happily chewed up. It also had no problem removing scale from my very abused axe. It left no visible scoring on the metals surface but happily removed the surface rust. A drill isnt likely the ideal mount for this type of tool. Mine tops out @ 2000RPM. I think it would benefit from more RPM but for my usage the drill is sufficient. See photo for man/tool/brush sizing.

I got these to use with my dewalt hand drills, so far they have held up well. The pack I got came with two.
