Wire Brushes

Industrial wire brushes for metal cleaning

Explore PFERD industrial wire brushes for cleaning, rust removal, weld preparation, deburring and surface finishing. Our range covers hand brushes and powered cup, wheel, bevel, end and tube brushes for fabrication, engineering and maintenance work.

Choosing the right brush shape

  • Cup brushes are useful for cleaning and derusting broader surfaces.
  • Wheel brushes work along edges, welds and narrower contact areas.
  • Bevel brushes help reach corners, joints and awkward angles.
  • End and tube brushes allow more focused cleaning in confined or internal areas.
  • Hand brushes give you control for smaller jobs and work where a powered tool is unsuitable.

Wire material and tool fitting

Select a brush for the material and finish you need. Steel and stainless steel wire options, along with different wire constructions, offer different levels of flexibility and cleaning action. Check the brush diameter, shank or thread fitting, and permitted operating speed against your tool before ordering. PFERD describes cup brushes as suitable for cleaning and derusting larger surfaces, with knotted variants available for heavier brushing. uk.pferd.com
