Forney Industries Inc 70518 Wire Scratch Brush

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 70518 is a wire scratch brush designed for general-purpose surface cleaning across trade and industrial applications. It features solidly embedded brass bristles arranged in 3 rows of 19, providing firm, consistent contact across the work surface. The brass wire construction resists rust, making it well-suited for use in damp or corrosive environments. A long, curved wood handle provides grip and leverage during scrubbing, and a pre-drilled hole at the end of the handle allows for convenient tool storage by hanging. Technicians and tradespeople working with metal surfaces will find this brush practical for prep and maintenance work.

This brush is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general fabrication settings where surface cleaning is required before welding, soldering, brazing, or inspection. The brass bristle construction makes it particularly effective for cleaning stainless steel without risk of ferrous contamination or surface rusting. It is a standard hand tool kept in service vans and shop benches across multiple trades. Sold in a package quantity of 12 units, making it practical for stocking multiple jobsites or supply rooms.
