4 Pack Knotted Wire Wheel Brush for Angle Grinders, WENORA Wire Brush for 4 1/2 Angle Grinder with 5/8 Inch Threaded Arbor, with 5/8 Inch Arbor for Heavy Cleaning Rust, for Grinder

This is a really good wheel brush for stripping off rust in tight spaces where a stripping wheel wont work. The wheel brush works extremely well and makes short order of rust. What I do want to stress is that you must take the necessary safety precautions when you use these types of wheels - remember, these are strands of hard wire spinning at an extremely high speed and a wire will break off from time to time and will act like a dart, so it would be ideal to wear safety goggles and a face shield (Jackson Safety Maxview and Honeywell UVEX Bionic are 2 really good shields), long sleeve shirt, jeans, and boots (no flip-flops) - a welding apron would be ideal (it may seem like overkill, but safety first). As for the wheel brush, I cant recommend it enough - it just worked freakishly well and stripped out the rust ridiculously fast on the iron chairs and benches in my patio; they wound up looking like new. Its a really great wheel brush that works extremely well. Remember - safety first.

Heavy duty wire wheel for heavy paint and rust removal. Instead of single wires which can fly off when brushing these heads have many twisted wires which holds them together and lets you really get after the rust. They screw onto the threaded shaft of the grinder. If your grinder has a guard around the wheel make sure it can accept a 4 1/2 wide attachment. These are rated up to 12,500 RPM but I cant imagine anyone needing to run them that fast. They clean surfaces pretty aggressively.

These wire wheels are pretty hard to mess up. After just a few seconds in my 4 1/2 in it took the rust off an old piece of tube steel I had laying around, the old grease/dirt/rust buildup off an old 3/4 ton shock, and the paint off a 55 gal drum lid. I say that, however to be honest Im surprised I dont have any wires sticking out of me after looking at the wheel after the fact. A number of wires seem to of come loose and could be removed with minimal issue or force. They get the job done but I question the longevity.

The way these are made allows you to use them horizontal or vertical and because they use a heavier wire than on the wire wheels I have used. Cup wheels flair out, these maintain shape and regular wire wheels dont like side loading, these dont seem to mind and work well doing it. So far I havent seen any shedding of wire from the bristles but that dont mean it wont happen. Wear your eye protection and gloves.

great for removing rust off steel pipes. they work great

Seem to be durable and long lasting with a little breakage to be expected and with a good amount of down pressure these clean pretty fast. I agree it is a given- always wear eye protection with any wire wheel especially considering that these are somewhat expendable, and it may be a while- but they will eventually be worn down to knubs. Fits my angle grinder and tightened on easily and they handle a lot of down pressure when using. Good- coarse grind- cleaners.

Got this kit to remove loose paint and rust on a steel square tube Wrought Iron style fence, mounted this first wire wheel on our Milwaukee cordless grinder and have been diligently stripping paint layer after paint layer along with spots of rush and some slag on our welds from installation. These wire wheels are truly heavy duty and very reasonably priced. Ive ground for hours now and the first wheel is still going strong!

On par with the guys down at the harbor; a few cents cheaper. These are wear items and seem to stand up to abuse pretty well. I have been grinding the rust off the old work trucks. I like the slight cant of the bristles so it’s not quite a cup and I’m not quite a wheel. Seems to make it a little more maneuverable in tight spaces with odd shapes.
