OK so what brand of wire wheel do you like and has held up to hard use

Looking for a pair, 6" diameter 1" face. Mostly for rust and scale removal.
I was given a couple of the current B&D consumer wheels (think they were
from Lowes) Supposedly plated steel wire. One is so out of balance the
grinder wants to walk off the mount. The other one must be to buff your
finger nails. The wire is JUNK and sheds if you even look at it crooked!



To get the 1" face, gang up 2 thinner brushes. Get Osborn or Weiler at
a welding supply. Use .014" to .020" wire. Get knot-type brushes for
heavy-duty work. Get crimped for more general purpose.
