2 Pack Wire Wheel Brush Wire Wheel Brush for Drill Attachment, Rocaris 2 Inch Heavy Duty Wire Brushes Removal Paint Rust & Corrosion, 0.0118 Carbon Steel Wire, 1/4in Shank, 20000RPM

Wire wheel is as described, heavy duty. The wire is stiff and densely packed on the head and is more dense than I was anticipating. Vendor description says high carbon steel, and it is based on spark from metal-on-metal, but Id be shocked if there isnt a little nickel in there just based on the wires color. I used my DW drill on some spray foam which it happily chewed up. It also had no problem removing scale from my very abused axe. It left no visible scoring on the metals surface but happily removed the surface rust. A drill isnt likely the ideal mount for this type of tool. Mine tops out @ 2000RPM. I think it would benefit from more RPM but for my usage the drill is sufficient. See photo for man/tool/brush sizing.

Both brushes in the package appear to be the same grit. The wire is stiff and strong enough for aggressive jobs. The wires appear to stay on while grinding (or not fall off), which is a good sign. It seems well made.

So yeah, couple of wire wheels with mandrels attached. They seem pretty decent quality, about the same as all the others Ive used over the years. Great for taking paint or rust off of things, putting a rough shine on something or even texture for something to adhere to like paint or adhesive. Im not certain Id pay this much for them though.

They seem well made and like they will last. I used one to shine up and clean a pipe, and it worked great.

This is good sized wire brushes to use with an electric drill.

These wire wheels work well on a drill or in a drill press, but the relatively slow speed of a drill, and therefore slow speed of progress in removing rust, would lead me to use another tool if possible. These small brushes could be handy for hard-to-reach situations when it is not possible to either bring the work piece to a wire wheel on a bench grinder or reach the work area with a wire brush on an angle grinder. In a high-speed hand air tool, a small wire wheel like this would work much better than on a drill.

These wire wheel brushes performed fine for several tasks I tested them on... removed rust and chipped paint from the mower deck of my John Deere mower deck and cleaned up the edges of the same tractor wheels. I used a Dewalt cordless drill at high RPM and the brushes took no time at all for the task at hand and operated without deflection or vibration. Easy to control. Sure, I could have used some cheap Harbor Freight Tool equivalent wire brushes for the same purpose. I suspect these will last me til I die as a DIYer :-)

I got these to use with my dewalt hand drills, so far they have held up well. The pack I got came with two.

I am restoring an antique cast iron dinner bell that has sat outside for about a century and then in a barn. I needed something to take all the rust and stuff off of it. These work great for that purpose. It is a large bell and 2 of these were perfect.

Small diameter and very stiff bristles, but there are times where they might work better than larger wheels. If youre only going to have one wire wheel though, a brass 4- or 5-inch wheel would be an all-around better choice.
