AWTools angle grinder accessory AW55137, weight 370 g

AWTools angle grinder accessory AW55137 is a twisted steel wire cup brush designed for use with 100, 115 and 125 mm angle grinders. Weighing 370 g, this replacement accessory is intended for workshop and construction applications where heavy-duty surface cleaning, derusting and paint removal are required. The bristles are made of high-tensile twisted steel wire, and the wire fixing is reinforced with a powder-coated steel ring for added durability. The bevel design adapts to flat, curved and uneven surfaces, allowing access to areas that are difficult to reach with standard brushes.

Advantages

The twisted steel wire construction provides a more aggressive cleaning action compared to crimped wire brushes, improving efficiency on rust, scale and stubborn paint. Reinforced wire fixing with a powder-coated steel ring increases longevity under heavy use. The bevel profile enables conformity to irregular contours and edges, while the threaded mount ensures secure attachment to compatible 100–125 mm angle grinders. At 370 g, the accessory balances robust performance with manageable weight for routine workshop tasks.

• Derusting metal surfaces and removing corrosion
• Stripping paint and old coatings from steel and iron
• Descaling and preparing metal before welding or painting
• Deburring and heavy-duty surface cleaning in workshop and construction

How to use

Ensure the angle grinder is switched off and disconnected from power before fitting the AWTools AW55137 accessory. Screw the threaded mount securely onto the grinder spindle, observing the correct thread direction and torque recommended by the grinder manufacturer. Start the grinder at low speed to check for wobble or imbalance, then increase to the appropriate operating speed for the task. Apply steady, even pressure while moving the brush across the work surface; avoid forcing the brush or applying excessive side pressure to prevent premature wear or motor overload. After use, allow the brush to cool before storing.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and respiratory protection when removing rust, paint or scale. Verify that the brush is compatible with your angle grinder model and observe the grinder’s maximum RPM rating. For best results, use the AW55137 for heavy cleaning tasks and select a less aggressive brush for fine finishing or delicate surfaces.
