I had a nice wire brush of Toms that I wore to the metal.
I needed one and went to the welding supply - close buy and all that.
That one lasted maybe a month if that. Toms lasted 2 1/2 years. The
thing I noticed the 'us made' from the supply house was the wire was thinner.
And that wire was not clamped in - as it came out and flung all around the
work area. That isn't very nice when running it in a 4 1/2 " grinder on
work.

Such is life.

to expand on Ed's question - how would one compare in terms of life and
utility, a "high quality" wire brush (you specify what that means) and the
Harbor Freight special out of balance thing that resembles a wire brush?
the Harbor freight thing costs $6 to $7, the "good" one costs more - what
more does it do so that those of us unsophisticated in the ways of wayward
wires can justify the (presumably) higher price

Ive used the HF cup brushes and Toms cup brushes.

I wear out on average, 8 HF cup brushes for 1 of Toms.

I use em to derust nasty old steel prior to welding, and de-slagging
after stick welding.

I dont bother buying HF brushes anymore. Toms are the best economy
