    Tube Brushes for Closed-End Holes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tube Brushes. Tube Brushes for Closed-End Holes.
    Bristles at the top of these brushes clean the bottom of closed-end holes. The bristles are enclosed in a tube, which prevents them from flaring during use and allows you to alter their length. As the brush wears, trim the tube with a pipe cutter to expose more of the bristles.
