WIRE SCRATCH BRUSH WITH CURVED HANDLE - CARBON STEEL
The Benchmark Abrasives wire scratch brush with curved handle is designed for aggressive manual cleaning of steel and cast iron. At 13-3/4" overall, its curved-handle design gives you added reach and control, while the straight carbon-steel wire is well suited for removing rust, paint, dirt, and loose scale from fabricated parts, equipment, and general shop surfaces.
The 3 × 19 bristle configuration provides a long working face for efficient hand cleaning across larger areas while still giving you control around edges, corners, and irregular surfaces. It is a practical choice for fabrication, maintenance, repair, and general metalworking applications where a longer hand brush offers better access than a compact shoe-handle design.

General maintenance and repair work
Use this brush to remove rust, paint, dirt, and loose buildup from steel and cast iron.
Material Guidance
Choose carbon-steel wire for rust and paint removal on steel and cast iron.
Do not use this brush on stainless steel where corrosion resistance or surface cleanliness is important. Carbon-steel wire can transfer iron particles to stainless steel and contribute to surface rust contamination.
For best results:
Use on ordinary steel and cast iron
Keep carbon-steel brushes separated from stainless-steel brushes
Avoid using the same brush across stainless and carbon-steel work
Test first on polished, plated, coated, or appearance-sensitive surfaces
Safety Tips
Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves during hand brushing.
Inspect the brush before use and discontinue use if the wire or handle is damaged.
Brush away from your body and maintain controlled hand pressure.
Do not use excessive pressure; allow the wire tips to perform the cleaning.
Test on an inconspicuous area when surface appearance is important.
Store carbon-steel brushes separately from stainless-steel brushes to reduce cross-contamination.
