Weiler 36303 1/2 Inside Diameter, 5/8 Outside Diameter, 302 Stainless Steel Bristles, Turbo Tube Brush, Made in the USA

I can clean all the copper and fittings before the other guy can do just one...... This is a real time saver for Contractors.....gosh...no reason not to clean those old fitting before you braze/solder anymore right???

Works well - a bit pricey but will make clean up of fittings a breeze (especially of old reused fittings). Have cleaned over 50-60 fittings and is starting to show some wear.. I should be able to get about 100 cleanings or so out of it.... Definitely a time saver.

The inside diameter brush works nicely, but the outside diameter brush failed on its second use, not second use on this job, but second use since being taken out of the package. Like the other review mentioned, the hex bit spun inside the plastic housing for the OD brush. The plastic hub is too big to fit into a 1/2 drill, so I ended up using the OD brush manually, which defeats the purpose of a powered brush. All Weiler tools will be suspect to me now.

I have been using these brushes for awhile. They are great. An immense help if you are preparing thousands of fittings.

I bought all 3 sizes and worked well beyond my expectations There is NOWAY that you can clean the copper joints as good using the other hand products on the market. Granted that they are a little expensive but after the first joint I said to myself that what a fool Ive would have been if I didnt have bought it to save the extra few dollars for the power brushes.. The bushes are holding up very well as I am fabricating a whole home balanced water manifold system. The only issue I had was when I first went to use them that they were a little stiff while trying to slide the O-D brush up and down the shaft as I might break it but these brushes are tough and so far holding up very well.

Better then the female tool

it broke on the second use, the plastic cracked, so I would not recommend this tool.

...but the wire inside brush fell out on the first use. Returned.

I dont know what the review means by asking for warmth. This tool will clean copper pipe very quickly, but it does heat up the pipe; maybe thats what they mean. When PEX wont do, I still sweat copper and am always pleased at how much more quickly it goes using this tool. Bought my last one 4 years ago and it finally wore out, so I was glad to see that they still make these.

This copper pipe and fitting pre-solder prep brush for power drills is working out very well. It takes only a few seconds to prep the pipe and fitting, and it spares you from getting a repetitive-stress injury like tendonitis when you have many pipes and fittings to prep on a project.
