⚡ At a Glance
- • Cleaning Power: Aggressive silicon carbide nylon-wire removes paint, rust and residues while being gentler than wire wheels
- • Best for: Tradespeople and DIYers needing surface preparation on metal and wood
- • Not ideal for: Heavy stock removal where coarse steel wire wheels are required
100 mm diameter disc on a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hexagonal shaft uses silicon carbide-reinforced nylon for cleaning, derusting and polishing. Compatible with cordless screwdrivers, hand drills and floor drills and leaves no working residues on surfaces.
Residue-free finishes - with silicon carbide reinforced nylon
Silicon carbide grains are embedded in reinforced nylon filaments to abrade contaminants while shedding far less metal debris than steel wire. Reinforced construction maintains filament shape under load, preserving abrasive action.
Clean surfaces ready for priming, painting or welding without additional sanding or debris removal.
Versatile compatibility - with 1/4" hexagonal shaft
A 1/4" (6.35 mm) hexagonal shaft fits standard chucks and quick-change screwdriver heads for secure engagement. The hex shank transfers torque efficiently across cordless screwdrivers, hand drills and floor drills.
Swap the brush between tools on site or in the workshop for flexible surface-prep workflows.
Gentle yet effective abrasion - with reinforced nylon-wire construction
Reinforced nylon-wire delivers a softer action than steel wire wheels while retaining sufficient grit to remove paint, light rust and residues. The construction reduces risk of aggressive gouging on delicate substrates.
Suitable for finishing and delicate prep on wood and thinner metals where preserving the substrate matters.
