Big Wire Brush - What is it for?
http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...3/104_1717.jpg
I picked this up since it was marked way down and I thought it might help me shine up brass threaded stud, which I need to do quite a bit. I'm just curious what the heck it might be intended for! |

Check wire with magnet to be sure it isn't brass plated steel. What diameter and width is it? What did you pay? |

Check wire with magnet to be sure it isn't brass plated steel. What diameter and width is it? What did you pay? 25cm x 3.5cm. Definitely brass. ~$60. Overkill for my needs, but I was in a jam and it was the best I could find on short notice. It's cool though, right? |

The brush is about $120.00 dealer price, much more retail. Good buy! The tool shop must have ordered it for someone who never picked it up. It was certainly nothing they would normally stock. |
