Oates Wire Brush
Oates Wire Brush. Heavy-duty wire-bristle brush for stripping rust, paint, weld scale and stubborn baked-on residue from metal surfaces.
Description
Steel wire bristles in a wood block handle. Removes rust, mill scale, weld spatter, baked-on grease and flaking paint from metal. The trade-standard for prep work before painting, welding and surface treatment. Compatible with manual scrubbing or for pre-treatment ahead of a powered wire wheel.
Health & Safety
- Wear safety glasses or a face shield — wire brushing throws metal particles at speed
- Wear leather or cut-resistant gloves — broken wires can cut skin
- Dust mask for rust and paint particle protection
- Inspect for broken bristles before each use; discard if wires are missing or splayed
How to use
Grip firmly. Scrub the metal surface in long firm strokes, working with the grain. Don't apply excessive pressure — let the wires do the work. Brush away from the body. Hang to keep wires aligned.
