Forney 72757 Wire Cup Brush, Knotted with 5/8-Inch-11 Threaded Arbor, 2-3/4-Inch-by-.020-Inch

Great wire brush

I rebuilt my mower deck on my zero turn lawnmower. After removing all pulleys, wheels, spindles, and blades the deck was rusted and pitted. I couldve believe how this wire brush took it all off. The wire brush is still in great shape. Great product!

Very disappointed with this product did not hold up well and use individual wires flew off wires were down very quickly

I recently used up my Forney wire cup, and just bought another. I dont normally leave reviews until Ive used a product, and often then I forget. However since I ordered another, I will say that service life was good. Reasonably aggressive (expected from a twisted wire wheel), but the real reason I am buying another is because it didnt lose bristles. The bristles actually wore down to nubs at the end without shedding any. Stiffness of the bristles was also good, the cup didnt flare out too much, and cut consistently with pressure. Quite pleased with the service, life, and quality of this one. For tough rust removal, or lots of mill scale, I would go with a flap disc, but this is exactly what I would want from a wire cup. Attached photo shows how the bristles wore.

Ill keep this short & sweet .... Do you weld? Do you hate using a chipping hammer/wire brush to remove slag? Do you value youre eye sight? ... then you need this cup wire brush attached to a 4-1/2 angle grinder which will make life a little easier for you. I especially like this cup wire brush because it doesnt sling wires into your arms, chest, etc. like the inline wire brushes do!

I have been buying the Mose expensive Makita twisted wire cup. I presumed this wouldn’t last at the much less expensive price. So far it’s just fine. Yes I can already tell it will wear down a little faster than the Makita, but this is way less expensive (but it doesn’t look as cool) LOL

Seems good and sturdy Wear eye protection as wire does fly off Good at cleaning pots and pans when food burns!

Needed a stiff wire brush for my grinder and this product seems to work very well.

worked great

This appears to be another high quality product from Forney. I seldom pay attention to negative reports on these types of items, as users often manhandle or abuse the product. Ive had no difficulties stripping paint and under coating from the undercarriage of my car. The tool works exactly as designed.
