TEMO 10 pc Carbon Steel 3/4 Inch Flat Wire Brush #428 1/8 Inch Shank for Dremel and Other Rotary Tools

I bought these wire brushes to remove paint from window hardware using my Dremel. They didnt take the paint down to bare metal, and they wore out quickly. I thought I could use them in place of heating and scraping, but the paint was not coming off. At first I thought the brush was working because I could feel the chips flying and hitting my arms and face. But it turned out it wasnt paint chips flying off, it was the wire brushes coming out of the cup. I was using the Dremel at the lowest speed - I guess I was pressing too hard. I went through three of them in a matter of a few minutes. Im giving this a 3 star rating because perhaps this wasnt the right application for this product. When I realized it wasnt working, I used the heat gun and scraper on a couple hardware pieces, and then used the wire brush to clean the metal and take off some tiny leftover pieces of paint. It worked for that, but for what I really wanted it to do - these didnt work.

I use these for cleaning the piston bore on aluminum brake calipers from a motorcycle. Its soft enough to not damage the aluminum but still able to clean away any deposits. Its mounted in a Dremel, 1/8 inch collet, and used on low speed which is more than enough for cleaning. Instead of a brake cleaning fluid that evaporates quickly, a penetrating oil or WD-40 is used then the caliper is rinsed with brake cleaner. One brush was used for 6 calipers and still almost like new. It works great for the piston seal groove and dust seal groove thats narrow and hard to clean otherwise. Will buy again when needed.

These little gems fit a drill chuck just as well as a dremel motor. They are being used to clean out primer pockets when reloading ammo. They work like a gem!

Very great product for busting up rust in hard to reach areas!

The Temo brushes fit the Demel perfectly. The petite size allowed use into narrow places. Having used slower speeds on brass and copper welding residues, these brushes lasted well and as expected or better. These soft brass brushes are pleasingly gentle and did not scratch or mar the multi-metal sculpture. Recommended.

Make sure to wear safety glasses as they disintegrate quite quickly.

I found these as good as brand name. Last as long as brand also.

They last a decent amount of time and are a really good value. I use them for cleaning engine parts and they do ok. I dont expect them to last very long but are worth the money.

Used in a small dill press to remove rust from screw heads, safety glasses and dust mask. They held up fairly well before the bristles wore off. Good find.

I used them on cleaning up the magnesium valve covers and they work fine. I used dremel first, but that overheats quickly, so, I use them with the RotoZip. They work, do not fray excessively (I only run them at 10000 rpm), maybe not as good as Dremel brand, definitely not as precise, but for the price, I think they give better value.
