Dewalt DW49701 Wire Wheel Brush 4 Inch 15 Row

Product Description

The DEWALT DW49701 is a 4-inch carbon wire wheel brush designed for aggressive surface preparation, rust removal, weld cleaning, and paint stripping. Built with a shoe handle configuration and a 15-row wire layout, it delivers consistent contact and durable performance on metal surfaces. The carbon steel wire construction maintains stiffness under load, making it well suited for angle grinders and similar rotary tools used in fabrication and maintenance work. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople regularly reach for wire wheel brushes like this one to clean pipe ends, strip corroded fittings, and prep bonding surfaces before installation.

The DW49701 is a general-purpose wire wheel brush appropriate for light industrial and trade applications. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service work where surface prep on ferrous metals is required. The 15-row configuration provides a broad cleaning path, reducing passes needed on larger surface areas. Typical users include pipefitters, HVAC technicians, welders, and electricians performing conduit or enclosure prep work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotary abrasive accessories. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wire wheel. Confirm that the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the brush, and ensure the guard is properly in place before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves, as wire bristles can dislodge under load.
