This tool is designed for processing various surfaces in the process of construction and repair. Structurally, the body of the brush is made of wood, and the working part is made of thin steel wire. The bristles of this tool are arranged in four or five rows. Moreover, each bristle consists of several wires to increase the cultivated area. The wire used in the manufacture of the brush is very similar to the so-called "steel". It has very good rigidity, thanks to which the tips of the bristles do not bend for a long time during operation.
The handles of some modern brushes of this design are made of plastic, but we recommend the classic wooden version.
With the help of a brush with steel wire bristles in construction and repair, a very wide range of work is performed. First of all, this is the cleaning of metal surfaces from old paint and rust. Of course for these
targets, you can use a thermal gun, but not everyone has one, and a brush is a cheap and affordable tool.
Further, it is worth noting such an area of \u200b\u200buse of the tool as the treatment of wall surfaces
during repairs. With the help of such a brush, it is convenient to remove both a layer of paint from the walls and glued wallpaper. And finally, you can use this brush to remove a loose layer of plaster before filling or plastering.
In general, the wire steel brush has not been very popular in recent years. The fact is that now it is quite easy to find in tool stores special nozzles made of the same wire for power tools such as an electric drill or a grinder. At the same time, the choice of the type of such nozzles is impressive.
The bristle of these nozzles can be either made of durable steel wire - for processing metal and stone surfaces, for cleaning them from all the same paint, for example, or it can be made of soft wire. Soft wire bristle bits are suitable for softer materials such as wood or materials such as chipboard, fiberboard and the like. If, for example, you use a brush with soft wire bristles, for example, to clean old paintwork, the tips will quickly bend and the brush will no longer perform its functions.
Due to the fact that the speed of the power tool is ten times higher than the capabilities of manual labor, the speed of surface cleaning also increases many times over. However, if you need a tool for one-time work, it makes no sense to buy a special nozzle. It is several times more expensive than a manual brush. It's easier to buy a brush, clean the desired surface (of course, spending more time) and throw it away or put it on a far shelf - suddenly it will come in handy later.
It should also be noted that with the help of a manual steel wire brush, you can more accurately process difficult-to-cut areas. For example, in the corners of a room, or sharp bends in metal parts. The edge of the brush can climb almost everywhere, but the nozzles are round and the larger the nozzle, the more difficult it is to climb into the corner.
