Forney 72755 Wire Cup Brush, Coarse Crimped with 5/8-Inch-11 Threaded Arbor, 2-3/4-Inch-by-.014-Inch

I use this on a 90 degree drill motor to clean up my grill grates. It's soft enough not to cause damage to the stainless grill grate and it zips off the grill crud fast.Be sure to wear gloves and glasses when using this wheel - metal pieces will come off the wheel. I make sure to vacuum up the grill when I'm done with a shop vac and I wipe the grates down with vegetable oil to make sure none of the wires from the wheel adhere to the grate.

This wire cup is very decent for the price. It's from Forney's lower priced value line of brushes with the red painted bodies made in China, but has been holding up well. The crimped wire on this cup is firm enough to remove paint and surface rust from crevices without gouging the metal surfaces below, like a coarse knotted wire cup can sometimes do. I have been using it continuously with my 5" Bosch angle grinder which runs at 11,000 RPM and although the cup is now slightly splayed, it is still in working condition and retaining the majority of the bristles, so I think it was well worth what I paid for it.

I have been using the Forney wire-cup-brush to remove rust and stains off of my motorcycle exhaust pipe. It has been working well. Before using this wire-brush for the first time, use a wire cutter to trim off some frayed wires that are longer than others. During use, be sure to wear long denims, long-sleeved shirts, gloves, and face-shields, because, like all angle grinder wire-brushes, loose wires will shoot-out once in awhile. I do recommend this wire-cup-brush for its function and low-price-point.

This brush fell apart within 5 minutes of using it to remove old loose paint on some metal. The bristles shot out like darts and stuck into my blue jeans. Maybe it’s a lemon? I don’t know? The bristles broke off/fell out quickly. The wire brush it replaced was a DeWalt, which I’ve been using for more than a year. Probably about 6-7 hours of total use and it’s in better shape than this one after <5 minutes.

Lasts much longer than the garbage they sell as Gaspro.

This wheel seems to be quite durable,and is holding up well.

I used this brush on an old rusted wood stove and I was surprised how well it took the years of rust off.**However be very careful and wear protective clothing when using especially a full face shieldMany wires fly out of the brush and become projectiles which easily embed into skin

I use this wheel to clean metal up before welding and painting and it works great. I have tried many brands of wire cup brushes on my grinders and Forney is the best I've found so far. Even the Forney wire wheel on my bench grinder has lasted the longest. Forney is now my go to brand!
