DEWALTWire Cup Brush, Crimped, Carbon Steel, 4-Inch x 5/8-Inch, 11 HP, .014-Inch (DW49101)

Well built in China. Rated at 9000 RPM, so I use my buffer at 3000 and it works great. The wire is stiffer than I expected and can't really tell any difference between this and a heavier one. But it will last a long time.

I bought one of these from a lost cost importer and it was shedding wire bristles. Those are no fun to pull out of your skin.

Chose the crimped wire brush rather than the knotted wire because I did not want the brush to be too aggressive on a stucco masonry finish. Just enough to remove the paint without gouging into the cement. Worked very well on my Makita cut-off tool.

Works as intended. I’m satisfied with the quality to price ratio. It says 9000 rpm max, but my Dewalt angle grinder is 12000 rpm. I guess that means the bristles are not going to hold up. They already splayed out a lot since I got it.

Sturdy. Doesn't lose bristles easily. Blasts through rust.

Can’t be beat for the price.

Worked as intended

My angle grinder is my most useful tool. I use this cup brush for all sorts of stuff I used to use a wire brush for: removing rust from metal polishing, etc. Some of the bristles flew out during my first use, but after that it remained intact and I got a lot of service out of it. I bought a red one that looked the same at Harbor Freight to replace it, which was a mistake. The bristles on the HF one spun out quickly and were bent 90 degrees outward after 1 use. Spend the extra money and buy this DeWalt brush!
