Steel Wool, 12 pad, Medium Grade #1, Rhodes American, Household Steel Wool

This is a super fine steel wool and is great for polishing and buffing metal. Pictured is one of my embalming tools (yes, I am a mortician) that was pitted and covered in rust, and it polished up beautifully with a medium grit sandpaper followed by a thorough polishing with this 0000 steel wool. I have also used it on several of my firearms that had some slight rust issues, and it took care of the problem with ease. A word of caution however, do not use this product without gloves or you will regret it. The one time I did, I ended up with fine slivers of steel embedded in my fingertips. Also, make sure to thoroughly clean whatever you use it on to remove the steel wool particles that will be left behind. Overall, great product and I will be buying it again.

This cleans my car’s exhaust very good

I used this to clean the calcium off the shower door. Our door always had that white film over it no matter what I used or did to clean it. I mixed this with vinegar and it was fine enough to not scratch the glass door! It worked great!

I got the #0000 steel wool. Its amazing at buffing and cleaning so many things! The amount I got, for the price I paid, is also excellent.

worked what i was intended for. i used it on old motorcycle rims and exhaust pipe. Between some elbow grease and the steel wool, my bike turned out fantastic Note: make sure you buy the correct grain of steel wool to avoid scratching the metal.

I use this steel wool for cleaning my glass shower door. It works extremely well and is a good value for the money. I highly recommend this product. I use spray vinegar on the glass and Dawn power wash on top with the steel wool and all of the hard water stains come out.

It works great as required

I still have some of this companies bronze wool from a few years ago. The attached pictures, I hope, will show the vast difference in quality, from a quality useful product to a product that is almost useless. In the second picture the pad on the feet is from a few years ago. The pad on the right is their current product. They both carry the same product number! I used the one on the right a little longer than the one on the left, but you could IMMEDIATELY feel the difference in use. You could QUICKLY see the difference on the furniture. The new product is less densely woven, the individual fibers are not as fine, and the new product falls apart very quickly. In one picture see the pad that that is clearly falling apart; whereas the other pad still appears to be in good shape. I use these pads in rubbing furniture in finishing processes. I would strongly recommend to any purchaser to go other manufaturers. I am returning this mess. I will write the manufacturer and lodge my strong displeasure with the abysmal denigration of what once was a fine product.

I use this to remove some patina from copper wire jewelry (after soaking jewelry in liver of sulfur). Gets into small areas nicely.

There are many different uses for this product, however, I bought this solely to use for Leather Luster to shine my boots. Just scrubbing a leather surface like those boots caused the wool to break into small pieces. This is my first time using steel wool in my adulthood so Im not sure if this is a characteristic of all the steel wools, but this is a very fine type of steel wool that breaks off more than Im sure I remember its supposed to. However, the pieces arent so small that you cant wipe or brush them off gently with a soft brush or towel.
