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

Ive been soldering copper for years and I will never again use anything but this to quickly clear the copper prior to applying flux and soldering. Super quick, super easy

excellent

On the first attempt to use the product it came apart and I had to throw it away.

This is a must have tool for copper plumbing as you ca get inside fittings and outside copper piping cleaned excellently.

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.

Broke on the first fitting.....Wow!

Just like the others - broke in the first use. I have had these for years and this one did not last one use

If you do a lot of 1/2” copper sweating, this tool will cut your job time in half. Well made & durable. Chuck it up in your cordless drill, make sure it’s spinning clockwise (as if you were tightening a screw) and not too fast, then go to town. It contains two brushes: one that cleans the inside and the other that cleans the outside. Slide the larger brush forward to clean the O.D. then slide it back and out-of-the-way to clean the I.D. of pipe & fittings.

I renovated my bathroom, and installed a shower system using copper with 2 shower heads, 4 body sprays, and a diverter along with the mixing valve. I cant count all the joints I had to sweat, but it was a lot. This tool attaches to a drill and makes it 100X easier to clean the inside of the fittings and outside of the copper pipe. I could not imagine doing all that by hand, I would have arthritis if I tried. This tool was a live saver, I followed the guidance of another reviewer who suggested to put a small worm clamp on the plastic sleeve to keep it from breaking. Not sure if I needed it, but was good for peace of mind. The outside wire bristles worked perfect, but the inside pipe cleaner bristles seemed like they could be a little longer, as I had to wiggle the tool a little more to really clean the inside of the pipe. Only thing that made it less than perfect. Either way, this tool is a must have!!

So far so good, what a time saver, hopefully it lasts. Also ordered 3/4 but yet to use it I was so pleased with 1. Used the 3/4 for the first time it snapped the wire brush on first use. The 1 lasted the whole project. Shame the 3/4 didnt last one fitting
