Brass Wire Wheel Brush Kit for Drill,Crimped Cup Brush with 1/4-Inch Shank,0.13mm True Brass Wire,Soft Enough to Cleaning or Deburring with Less Scrach

I started a brass plating project by using hand brushes. They worked but they took a long time with a lot of rubbing to achieve results. Bought these as an experiment and am glad I did. I quickly got excellent results and was able to finish my project in a fraction of the time it would have taken me doing it by hand. And from my experience I can verify that these brushes are pure brass.

I bought these as I did not want to scratch the metal that I needed to remove some rust pitting. They are well-made, and the brass is relatively soft, so is great for metals. You do not want a lot of deep, grooves and scratches. However, they were not quite sturdy enough for what I needed so I had to order some stainless steel ones, but these will be great when used on aluminum or other soft metals. A very excellent set of brushes.

I was very happy with these, especially for the price. They are indeed solid brass unlike a lot of the ones you see, which are actually brass-coated steel. I used these on both steel and aluminum small engine parts, and they did not damage them. They also did a pretty good job of removing old grime and so forth. They even sort of polished the metal to an extent on their own, which surprised me. They didn't do much with the paint, unfortunately, but some aircraft stripper helped me out with that. I really liked the different sizes and shapes, although the wheels seem to work better than the cups. I did get some pieces of brass wire coming off after a while, but it's not like they were falling apart. I must have used them for an hour or two pretty consistently, switching between them, and they are still in good enough shape to use again for sure. They did spread out after that much use, but I think that's to be expected. Anyway, these are a good option at a very reasonable price, especially because they are solid brass.

Well-made brass wire "wheel" and "cup" brushes; actually brass wire, not brass plated as are many claiming to be brass; produces an almost polished surface on metal items being brushed; leaves no scratch lines in the surface being treated; particularly good on softer metals such as copper/brass/aluminum; workable using brush speeds up to 4500 rpm; has yet to lose any appreciable brush wires; wire tightly held in the center wheel or cup; meets, in many instances - exceeds -expectations; when these wear out, will definitely purchase again; highly recommended products.

These are too soft to take off rust in much of a hurry. Also, had thought they were hex end when I ordered, my mistake, but I do have standard drill they work in.
