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

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.

Was able to use to strip the paint and bit of corrosion off my wrought iron fence. Was able to use for several hours before I notice any wear of the bristles. Even then, I was tired lone before the brush. My drill went through a few battery lifes also. I was able to do about a 10 x 4 section with vertical slates before tossing the first wheel.

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 used these to descale and remove decades of rust and rust pockets from a cast iron cauldron before resealing with rust prevention paint. Bristles held up well and did not deform under moderate pressure, which I would advise with this type of drill attachment (as well as a moderate speed.) ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using these types of wire brushes because individual wires can break off. These held well because Ive used plenty of similar products for many years, and starting with a light touch and slowly ramping up will help you sustain a safe project. Easy to chuck, gripped well in chuck, and lasted much longer than others Ive used in the past. Would order again.

I tested in with the high-speed setting on my DeWalt drill to remove rust from a piece of scrap sheet metal. After ~30 seconds it came off with no issues, and I could have cleaned it up much more if I spent longer doing it. This shouldnt be used for big flat jobs like this since its such a small wheel, but the size makes it great for getting into nooks and crannies. After that work, there were no bent wires, even after I pushed the corners of the wheel into the sheet to try and bend them. Nothing came off, so in the short term it looks like this is a well made piece!

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

I used this with my DEWALT drill and worked amazing, I’m actually working on my patio and this is helping a lot to remove rust in not time!!

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.

Bought the 2 pack Wire Wheel Brush for my own use as Grandpas are too hard for me to find when I want to use them. The brushes cleaned up the rusty, overpainted metal legs on the table frames I wanted to repurpose. Easy to use, just wear your gloves and eye protection. Trust Nana on this one.
