Tight-Clearance Abrasive Brushes
The handle curves sharply for cleaning in hard-to-reach spots. This brush removes light-to-medium rust and stains and small burs. The stainless steel bristles won't leave behind debris that could cause rust on your workpiece, and they’re hand-laced so they won’t fall out if the handle gets wet.
