> 3 dayI bot this bronze wool because I was concerned that the steel wool would discolor some wood projects when using water based products over it due to risk for rust with flecks of the steel. This bronze wool did help with that but it seemed to fall apart quite easily and not last very long. I may try another brand next time I need some.

> 3 dayBought this because I have an old 22 cal. revolver that someone gave me years ago that I had just tossed in a drawer....Found it one day, and it was all covered with surface rust...Not the deep pitting kind, just heavy outside rust. Got a lot of advise on how to get the rust off, but because of expense, I decided to do the job myself......All of the steel wool I have ever used was a royal pain in the butt...fine metal shavings everywhere, doesnt hold up, and of course the horrible rust it gets after you leave it in your tool box. Got this item and it was just what I needed...Took my time rubbing the metal parts of the revolver, and didnt get any shavings or metal dust as I would have with the steel wool.....It also seems to hold up better that the steel version......When I was done, the revolver looked like a different weapon......All the rust gone, and no metal residue left on it and inside the mechanism. Looked around everywhere to try to purchase it locally (wanted it in a hurry), but couldnt find it....In conclusion, there is no comaprison between this Bronze Wool, and regular steel wool. I live in Florida near the water, and EVERYTHING made of metal rusts....When I would use regular steel wool on anything, it left a mess and I would have to throw it away afterwards, because if it got wet it would turn into a blob of rust....Not with this bronze wool. It is expensive, but more than worth the price.....I can actually rinse it off from use, and it can be used again....In the long run, the cost is comparable because you arent throwing the pad out after every use. My only complaint is that I couldnt get different sizes. Oh, and by the way, you dont get the little metal slivers in your fingers like you get with the steel wool.

> 3 dayThis is good quality bronze wool. It has some advantages over fine steel wool: Less inclined to splinter, more durable, and does not rust. I bought it for cleaning the inside of my 120-gallon glass turtle tank, figuring the bronze would be less inclined to scratch the glass. (Not that steel would scratch the glass, but bronze is softer in that respect.) It works very well for that task. Ive gotten about half of the inside of the tank free of algae with just one small puff of bronze wool. So I expect my supply to last a very long time unless I take on a big wood refinishing product. The pricing was strange. I was able to save money by buying multiple small packages. Buyer beware.

12-06-2025Very nice product. Used these for guitar building, my Tele is happier for the non rusting and very smooth feel of these. In fact steel wool caused a blue stain during my finishing and this Bronze Wool did a great job to buff it out, easily.

> 3 dayThis stuff is great for cleaning chrome exhaust tips. The hard built-up black carbon just wipes away. The bronze is softer than the nickle coating used for chroming, so your chrome items dont get scratched during the process. Steel wool on the other hand can scratch chrome... Added bonus the bronze wool should last a long time the garage, where steel-wool must be kept dry or it will rust.

> 3 dayExcellent for cleaning Guitar frets, de-glossing fretboards and backs of guitar necks. Unlike steel wool, brass wool is not magnetic, so will not fowl your pickups...no masking required to cleaning fret wires during restring! Be advised, it is Fine but not Super Fine as 0000 Steel Wool, so use very light pressure on wood and poly if de-glossing.
