Angle grinder accessory AWTools AW55163, weight 200 g

AWTools AW55163 is an angle grinder accessory weighing 200 g, designed as a replacement or additional tool for compatible angle grinders and straight grinders. The accessory features twisted steel-wire bristles with high tensile strength and a steel powder-coated cup that reinforces the wire fixing. Equipped with a shank for easy mounting, it is intended for heavy-duty surface cleaning tasks such as derusting, paint stripping, deburring and descaling, and for preparing surfaces prior to painting. The compact form factor and low weight make it suitable for both professional and DIY applications where a more aggressive brushing action is required.

Advantages

The twisted steel-wire construction provides a more aggressive action than crimped wire brushes, enabling faster removal of rust, old paint and scale. The reinforced steel cup ensures secure wire retention and prolonged service life under frequent use. The shank allows quick and stable mounting to drills and straight grinders, improving work efficiency. Lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during extended tasks while delivering heavy-duty cleaning performance.

Suitable for

• Removing rust from metal surfaces
• Stripping old paint and coatings

How to use

Securely mount the shank in the drill chuck or straight grinder according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the accessory is firmly seated. Operate the power tool at a recommended speed appropriate for twisted wire brushes and the material being treated; avoid excessive force—allow the brush’s aggressive action to do the work. Keep a steady motion to prevent gouging and work across the surface evenly. Wear suitable personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and respiratory protection when removing rust, paint or scale. Inspect the brush regularly for wire loss or wear and replace it if wires become detached or the brush cup is damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use at moderate speeds appropriate for twisted wire accessories and test on a small area before full application. Avoid using on thin sheet metal or delicate finishes to prevent surface damage. Maintain firm control of the tool and follow all safety guidance from the power tool manufacturer.
