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

These have been instrumental in removing decades of caked on grime and paint from the 74 Beetle we are restoring. One thing we learned in using them was that when they start to un-knot themselves, they are still useful for light weld cleanup and surface clean-up, however they are not as effective at that point at rust removal and the like. Weve purchased a second set of these as we wore through our first set.

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.

These are rust eating wheels if you can stand the flying wire. BE SURE TO WEAR EYE PROTECTION WITH THESE WHEELS. A full face shield is best.

Ease of use for wall paint scraping

for the cost of one from a local big box store you get 4 wire wheels in this set. Granted you get what you pay for so the overall quality is lower on each one. That being said they still work and do exactly what is needed. Like all wire brushes the wires wear and break off or can just come out and they do so with enough force to stick into clothing or skin. But these wheels are great to remove rust, paint and clean up welds

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.

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.

Used these wheels to sand down and clean a stock trailer for pain prep. They definitely held up and there’s lots of life left in them. Absolutely with the money.

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!
