Forney Industries Inc 72726 Crimped Wire Wheel 5 Pack

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 72726 is a stem-mounted crimped wire wheel designed for light to medium duty surface preparation in tight spaces. The wheel measures 1.5 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch shank length and uses a fine 0.008-inch wire diameter, making it well suited for detail work where larger wheels cannot reach. The 0.25-inch hex shank fits standard 0.25-inch chuck electric power drills and pneumatic drills. Sold in a package of 5, this wheel is used by tradespeople and maintenance professionals who need to remove rust, scale, or paint from confined areas and narrow holes.

This crimped wire wheel is intended for use in any application requiring surface cleaning or paint removal in restricted access locations. The crimped wire style produces a lighter, more flexible action compared to knotted wire wheels, making it appropriate for light to medium duty work on metal surfaces. Typical applications include cleaning weld joints, deburring small bores, and stripping paint or scale from pipe fittings, brackets, and fastener recesses. It is compatible with any 0.25-inch diameter electric power drill or pneumatic drill.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the 0.25-inch hex shank directly into a 0.25-inch drill chuck and tightening securely before use. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when operating wire wheel accessories, as wire bristles can break free during use. Inspect the wheel before each use and discard if wires are bent, broken, or excessively worn. Operate the drill at a speed appropriate for the wheel diameter and the material being worked.
