Pilot-Guided Brushes with Shank for Flat Surfaces with Holes
Often used prior to installing rivets or other fasteners, these brushes have a pilot to maintain precise control while deburring and removing paint, coatings, and sharp edges from the surface surrounding a hole. The bristles won’t leave behind debris that could cause rust on your workpiece.

Flexible Tube Brushes for Closed-End Holes
Bend these brushes through curved holes and reach into corners. Bristles at the top clean the bottom of closed-end holes. A flexible spring surrounds the bristles to prevent them from flaring during use. As the brush wears, trim the spring.
Caution: Insert the brush into the workpiece before turning on your power tool. If used outside a hole, the brush could break off and become a dangerous projectile.
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.
Stainless steel bristles won't leave behind debris that could cause rust on your workpiece.
