Forney Industries Inc 70525 Stainless Steel Scratch Brush

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 70525 is a stainless steel scratch brush designed for surface preparation, weld cleaning, and material deburring in fabrication and metalworking applications. It features solidly embedded stainless steel bristles at 0.006 inches in diameter, set in a 3x7 row configuration for consistent contact across the work surface. The plastic handle provides a firm, comfortable grip during use. This brush is built for tradespeople who need a reliable hand tool for cleaning welds, removing scale, or prepping metal surfaces before coating or inspection.

This scratch brush is well suited for use on corrosion-resistant and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel and aluminum. It is also appropriate for wet environment applications where a standard carbon steel brush would be unsuitable due to rust contamination risk. Welders, pipefitters, plumbers, and sheet metal workers commonly use this type of brush during fabrication and field service work. It is packaged in a quantity of 12 units per case, making it a practical stock item for shop or job site use.

This brush is a hand tool requiring no power source or mechanical installation. Always inspect bristles before use and discard the brush if bristles are bent, loose, or heavily worn. When cleaning welds or prepped surfaces, ensure the workpiece is secure and cool before brushing.
