FAQs
Where can I use a wire brush?
A wire hand brush is a versatile tool and are ideal for heavy duty deburring and cleaning. These brushes can remove old finishes such as paint and other coatings and for cleaning and removing stubborn dirt and debris.

Brass is a soft pliable material which makes this type of brush particularly suited to jobs where marking, damage or sparks need to be avoided (822-636). Brass wire brushes are suitable for hazardous environments as they will not spark when struck against metal. Ideal for cleaning electrodes on spark plugs, battery terminals, engine parts and paint removal.

Steel wire is most appropriate for work on steel and iron, but may also be used on wood, brass, aluminium and copper.
