Forney Industries Inc 72730 Fine Wire Cup Brush 2 in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 72730 is a 2-inch crimped fine wire cup brush designed for light-duty surface cleaning and preparation. Constructed from high carbon steel with a 0.008-inch hex wire diameter, it delivers controlled cleaning action without aggressive material removal. The 0.25-inch shank mounts directly to portable electric tools, air tools, or standard cordless drills. Rated to a maximum of 6,000 RPM, it is well-suited for tradespeople and fabricators who need a reliable wire brush for routine surface work without switching to larger bench-mounted equipment.

This cup brush is intended for light-duty cleaning tasks across a range of trade and fabrication applications. Common uses include removal of dirt, rust, paint, scale, and weld spatter from metal surfaces. The compact 2-inch diameter makes it practical for working in tighter areas where larger cup brushes cannot reach. It is a standard tool in welding shops, HVAC service, pipefitting, and general metal fabrication where surface prep is a routine part of the workflow. The package contains 6 brushes per unit.
