The shaft-mounted crimped wheels are wire brushes mounted to hand-power tools for removing paint, rust, and dirt. In other words, these are abrasive tools used to clean rust and paint. Mounted crimped wheels are perfect for stripping, deburring, polishing, or adding a decorative scratch pattern. They are also used for surface cleaning and to create a better conductive area for joining electrical connections. The shaft-mounted crimped wire wheel provides a flexible brushing action and consistent performance for light-duty cleaning and deburring applications on steel. The permanently-attached shaft is designed to work with high-speed die grinders. They can also be installed on a drill; however, the speed and power of the drill can reduce the brush's effectiveness.
