The brushes are made from hardened dipped brassed steel wire, which gives a high level of durability and resistance to oxidation. The brushes are strong enough to provide reliable performance, and the crimping is flexible to tackle recessed areas and irregular surfaces. The set includes a 25mm wire end brush, 75mm wire cup brush, and three wire wheel brushes (50, 75, 100mm). Fitted with a non-slip 6.35mm hex shank. Compatible with most drill drivers and drills with a 13mm chuck.
This 6-piece Draper Brassed Steel Crimped Wire Brush Set is ideal for DIYers and professionals tackling light to medium-duty surface preparation and cleaning tasks. It offers rapid stock removal and durable performance thanks to hardened, dipped brassed steel wire. A potential limitation is its suitability only for light to medium-duty work, not heavy-duty applications.

These brushes are designed for metal and hard surfaces. Use with caution on softer or more delicate materials as they can cause scratching.

Clean debris after use and store in a dry location to prevent oxidation. Inspect for damage regularly.

Troubleshooting
Brush not spinning effectively
Ensure the hex shank is fully and securely tightened in the drill chuck. Check drill speed settings.
Excessive wire shedding
This can occur with new brushes or during heavy use. Ensure you are using the correct brush for the task and not applying excessive force. Inspect for broken wires and replace if necessary.
Brush appears to be rusting
The brassed coating offers protection, but prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause oxidation. Ensure brushes are stored in a dry environment and clean them after use.
