Before using primers or paint this is the brush to use for the finishing touch. In my case it worked flawlessly (metal).

Use gloves opening up the package, easy to poke yourself a hundred times taking it out.Quality is great and works great when you can get the blood off of it.

Very aggressive. Removes a lot of material. Very minimum wire bits coming off. Solid.

BLUF: Wire came flying out of this wheel and it lasted about 30 minutes of cleaning light corrosion off some steel.I am still finding wire embedded in walls and surfaces around the shop (they are the ones that didn't end up embedded in me). I don't believe I was asking too much of the wheel, and this task of cleaning light corrosion off old whiskey barrel bands was well within it's wheelhouse. I received a prompt refund for the item, so for that reason they get 3 stars.

Great value for the money. I used the wheel to "distress" a piece of furniture I made. It worked out great and now I have a piece of heirloom furniture I can pass on.

Good quality for the money. Works well for light duty wire brushing. Wear a shield and mask. There will be wire pieces that will dislodge.

The BEST wire wheel I've put my hands on. Makes my welds look like the weld gods have caressed and perfected every dime laid. The wheel lasted me a solid 3 months before my grinder would get in the way. 10/10 chief

Seems good. I use it on a angle grinder and it almost seems to spin a bit too fast for most purposes, especially when cleaning up smaller metal pieces. Kind of scary actually!But regarding the item it does a great job, holds up very nicely and the price is right!It is a good purchase and comes in handy if you have a shop at home and need it now and then.

Product workes better than competition. I tried various wire wheels and these lasted the longest by far. Some wheels within minutes I would pull shrapnel from my body . This wheel retains them much longer but they still break free eventually

I am refinishing an ornate aluminum pedestal mailbox. Stripping off loose paint. I used a couple of braided grinder brushes from DeWalt. But I needed something a little finer. This thing was amazing. It stripped off paint the braided brushes wouldn't. As I was installing it on the grinder I noticed a single wire that was not attached. Other than that I never noticed one wire eject. I used it about 10 minutes and it still looks brand new. For the price I quite pleased.

I was using this item to artificially weather some pine shelves (not sure how common of a project this is), but after 2 pieces (approx. 16 sqft.), all of the wires had detached. If this is similar to what you are doing, be ready to get 2 or 3 of these parts. Otherwise a good product. I like the width especially. In the meantime I will be testing some other brands to see whether any can hold up to my particular task

This crimped wire wheel has been working great for removing paint and light rust scale from metal. The bristles are now slightly worn down, but still largely intact and it continues to work well. I think this wire brush was a good value considering the price and how well it has been working for me, so I will purchase again when needed and would also have no problem recommending it.
