Power drill accessory AWTools AW55172, weight 60 g

AWTools AW55172 is a lightweight power drill accessory weighing 60 g, designed to be mounted on a drill or straight grinder via its shank. The brush features crimped steel wire bristles with high tensile strength and a wire fixing reinforced by a steel ring, providing secure attachment and stable rotation during operation. Its construction makes it suitable as a replacement or supplementary part for tasks that require surface preparation and light to medium cleaning.

Advantages

The crimped steel wire bristles resist deformation and offer effective abrasion for removing rust, paint and scale. The reinforced wire fixing with a steel ring increases durability and reduces the risk of bristle loss during use. The included shank allows quick mounting to most drills and straight grinders, while the accessory's low weight supports handheld operation and easy tool control.

Suitable for

• Derusting metal surfaces
• Removing old paint and coatings
• Deburring edges and welds
• Descaling and surface preparation before painting
• Light to medium surface cleaning and polishing

Key specifications

• Material of bristles: crimped steel wire with high tensile strength
• Wire fixing: reinforced with a steel ring for secure attachment
• Mounting: shank for attachment to drills and straight grinders
• Weight: 60 g for easy handheld use
• Intended cleaning intensity: light to medium

How to use

Install the accessory by inserting the shank into the drill or straight grinder chuck and secure it according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Operate the tool at a suitable speed for wire brushes (refer to the tool and accessory speed recommendations) and apply light to moderate pressure to avoid premature bristle wear. Move the brush across the surface steadily to remove rust, paint or scale without gouging the substrate. Regularly inspect the brush for wear and replace it when bristles become excessively worn or detached.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves and a dust mask. Test on a small area first to assess compatibility with the substrate. Avoid excessive pressure and high speeds that can reduce brush life or damage the workpiece.
