Dico 541-772-4 Nyalox Wheel Brush 4-Inch Grey 80 Grit

I was tired of being stabbed by flying needle-like wire bristles while wheel wheeling or doing Jim Carey faces hours after wire brushing and unexpectedly getting poked by a bristle at an inopportune time that ended up in my hair or clothing. If you've used the old fashioned wheeled brushes you know what I'm talkin'bout.My review for all the different 'grits,' of the wheels are the same - the mandrel/drill mount and wheels for a bench mounted grinder. The 'grit' rating doesn't seem to be the same as I'd expected and used with rating sandpaper, but that might be just me.These work as well, if not better because the ends are always fresh and sharp. They're also lasting a lot longer than I'd expected - much longer than wire bristle versions - both the HF cheapies and the big named manufacturer versions that makes you say 'that was how much?' when it fails 'too soon.'They also do better on complex shapes. Examples would be these get into where cross members are riveted to frame rails or other joints and components. They're pretty darn good, but not perfect 100% of the time getting under the lip of the rivets They're also more forgiving when you wheel something you should have really removed. With some practice if you're only doing a section, you can feather the paint, rust, muck being removed so touching it up so you can sell it as rust-free from Arizona, is much more plausible than with wire.There is a safety factor with the Nyalox product that you don't get with the old-fashioned style; because the bristles wear down evenly you don't get to a point where the bristles are like a defensive porcupine pummeling you and your workspace with sharp, usually hot, needles that you'll find months later rusted into the surface of something not even close to where you were working.The other part of the safety factor is they get smaller, and you have to give up and replace them, because you're close to the structure of the wheel or the machine powering it. No more of that one more day like you might do with the old-fashioned kind where you use it until it looks like teeth on a cartoon hillbilly granny.

Works good for the money used it to strip paint from wood to get into corners worked good.

it works well for stripping paint without damaging the wood, if you have a steady hand.

Terrific for cleaning aluminum pieces used in aircraft components. Will purchase again when needed.

Had a few of theseThey last a long timeFantastic for removing paint / surface rust etcDoes not remove metalGreat for tight areas tooLove em

Did the job I needed it for

This thing works great at removing paint rust etc ! The only problem I have with it is when using it on a wood project it also eats away at the wood itself leaving groves etcI could have just sanded the wooden shelf and gotten a better resultIt is a great tool though just not for wood

This is my second one, I get more done with these nyalox bristles, and don’t seem to cut grooves in my metal as bad as the wire wheel, when this one wears down I’ll definitely order again, greagt product!
