I bought one just to see what it is good for. They do not seem to make
them
for 4.5" angle grinders (low rpm). I use it in a cordless drill.

Pretty cool. I'd never seen them before your link. How well do they
do? Long or short lifespan?

I have used mine only a couple of times. So far no flying nylon bristles. It
seems to me the worst of two worlds: 1) The rpm are low, therefore removal
of paint/rust is slow, 2) The underlying surface is scratched just as badly
as with a wire brush.

They seem to be used a lot for deburring etc. in industry.

I understand that there are Scotchbrite pads that go into angle grinders and
I shall look for one to see what*it* can do for me.

Standard angle grinder speeds would likely wreck a scotchbrite pad
just from spinning it. Given any pressure, they'd melt. At slower
speeds, though, they work great, especially with mineral spirits or
WD-40. I keep boxes of 3-M 7447/7448 for use on metal and wood.
