HOMAX PRODUCTS 123100 Bronze Fine Wool Pad, 3-Pack

Obviously, there is not much to review here. This is the bronze version of steel wool. I purchased it to aid in cleaning deposits from the chambers and barrels of revolvers. The metal is quite softer than the steel it impacts, and so will do no damage to it. Visually the product looks very consistent, but it is a simple product for use as a mild abrasive on hard surfaces.

I use these, (along with a solvent), to remove heel marks from my Harley Davidson exhaust pipes.

I use these for tough spots with my gun cleaning kit. The bronze works better than steel wool and this is a fine (not medium, heavy duty) bronze. Im not sure about copper content but I always wear gloves and the solvent and this wool produces a blue/green residue. It wipes off easily. I didnt have the same problem with a product purchased at a local indpt. store.

Great product

Bought 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.

The package shows a well packed solid block of bronze wool. In actuallity the consistancy is that of cotton candy and will not last even a fraction of the amount of work to do. I expected the pads to have the consistancy of an SOS or Brillow pad. Not even close. Not a good value for the money.

Bronze wool is what you want to use instead of steel wool, especially when working with firearms because the bronze is softer than the steel the firearm is made from, so no scratches or rust from pieces of steel wool that break off and are left behind. I used the bronze wool to remove rust and corrosion from the guns and then applied oil to prevent further damage. A single pad lasts quite awhile and this produces really amazing results!

Leaves broken strands behind, otherwise id very good.

The whole point is that it was supposed to remove the rust without damaging the bluing.

Works fine but it sheds fibers pretty bad and the pads tend to fall apart pretty easily. Bought to clean light rust from rifle barrel and it worked fine for that.
