85055 - 7-Inch Stainless Steel Detail Scratch Brush with Wood Handle

Precision Cleaning with the 3x7 Stainless Steel Wire Brush

For professionals and hobbyists alike, surface preparation and finishing are critical steps in any fabrication or repair project. The Advance 3x7 Row Stainless Steel Wire Brush is an essential tool designed to deliver precision cleaning power in a compact form factor. Unlike standard carbon steel brushes, this tool is outfitted with high-grade stainless steel bristles. This distinction is vital for anyone working with stainless steel or aluminum materials, as using a carbon steel brush can embed iron particles into the surface, leading to rust and contamination over time. This brush ensures your non-ferrous metals remain pure and corrosion-resistant after cleaning.

The brush features a classic "toothbrush" style design, measuring approximately 7 inches in overall length. This compact size makes it incredibly versatile, allowing users to reach into tight corners, narrow channels, and intricate machinery parts that larger brushes simply cannot access. The bristle configuration consists of 3 rows by 7 rows of stiff stainless wire. This density provides an aggressive scrubbing action concentrated in a small area, making it perfect for breaking up stubborn slag, removing heat tint from welds, or cleaning threads on bolts and fixtures.

Comfort and durability are at the forefront of this tool's design. The handle is crafted from sturdy wood, which offers several advantages over plastic alternatives. Wood provides a natural, textured grip that remains secure even when hands are gloved, sweaty, or oily. Furthermore, wood is more resistant to the high heat often found in welding environments; it won't melt or deform if momentarily placed near a hot workpiece. Whether you are prepping a surface for welding, cleaning up after a bead, or performing general maintenance, this 3x7 stainless steel wire brush is a reliable companion for your toolbox.
