Remove rust and baked-on grease with a rounded shape that fits naturally in your hand. These balls won’t rust or splinter, so you can use them wet or dry.

Medium Abrasion—Best for general purpose cleaning. Made of brass or copper, these balls are softer than stainless steel balls, so they’re less likely to scratch softer metals, such as aluminum and stainless steel.

Heavy Abrasion—Ideal for challenging jobs. Made of stainless steel, these balls remove rust, oxidation, and baked-on residue. Use them on durable surfaces that can withstand some scratching, such as cast iron and concrete.

Extra-Heavy Abrasion—Deliver an intense clean for the most demanding jobs. Made of stainless steel, these balls remove corrosion and break down thick grime buildup on the most durable surfaces that you aren’t afraid to scratch.
