Roughneck ROU52042 Carbon Steel Wire Brush with Soft Grip & Scraper

Good quality. Good price. Good bit of kit.

The filler cap on my heating oil tank was rusted shut and the delivery man was unable to make my delivery. I eventually released the cap using WD40 and a hammer. The thread on the tank was hardly visible as it was thickly covered in rust so I bought this to clean it. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by its robust feel and appearance. It made short work of thoroughly removing the rust to reveal shiny metal on the threads on my tank and in the cap. After covering the threads with lubricating oil the cap now comes on and off with ease and the heating oil has been delivered.

I have been using this brush to remove render from brickwork on my property. The scraper on the brush has been very effective at scraping away at the render and the brush for getting in to the nooks and crannies.

Good, strong brush!

I purchased this to remove rust that had formed a thick layer over an old bbq. This took it completely in its stride. It removed nearly all of the rust with very little effort. The scraper at the end is also useful as it allows you to get into some of those smaller areas (something this scraper isn't particularly good at or mean for - if you want something for small crevices and fine work there are plenty of alternatives: e.g. Roughneck 52005 Mini Wire Brush (Set of 3) ). The bristles are also quite durable and only a couple have bent (my fault!!!), and thankfully none have fallen out. The handle is also comfortable to hold which is a nice plus. Overall, this product is powerful, durable and comfortable.

I've used a few wire brushes in my time and prior to this one they were all very similar in performance and longevity. This one looked good with an easier to clean plastic handle but on arrival I did note the bristle density was low and they were quite thin, but putting it to use showed far worse issues. I used it to clean the dirt and sand off block pavers I took up to relay so hardly the most arduous of tasks. It didn't take long for bristles to start snapping and/or fall out. I had only completed a few square metres before the brush was useless. It also dropped these sharp bristles on the ground so I had to be careful to sweep up. It may have a comfortable handle but is just not fit for purpose.

Does the job but bristles seem to come out relatively easily

Excellent sturdy brush. Did what I needed and looks like it will last a while for many more jobs. Only issue would be the attached scraper part....got in a way a bit. Had to remove it.

Mio funzionale per la rimozione del muschio sulle scale.

Questa spazzola è fantastica, la iso su di un frytop da 90 e lo fa diventare lucido come mai lo è stato!!!! Sono molto soddisfatto dell acquisto e la consiglio!!!

il pacco e' arrivato con tempi previsti laspazzola e' funzionale e le setole non si piegano il rashietto non l'ho ancora provato

Una marcia in più rispetto alle spazzole metalliche che si trovano in commercio. Ottima asportazione, anche su materiali duri e molto ruvidi (calcestruzzo, intonaco) senza il minimo cedimento delle setole. Impugnatura ergonomica che permette di esercitare la giusta pressione durante la pulizia
