Forney Industries Inc 72733 Crimped Wire Wheel

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 72733 is a stem-mounted crimped wire wheel designed for cleaning and surface preparation in tight, hard-to-reach areas. At 2.5 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch stem and 0.012-inch wire size, this coarse wheel removes rust, scale, and paint from confined spaces that larger wheels cannot access. The 0.25-inch hex shank mounts directly into any standard 0.25-inch chuck electric drill or pneumatic drill. It is suited for light to medium duty deburring and cleaning work. Sold in a pack of 5, it is commonly used by fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need consistent surface prep in restricted access points.

This wire wheel is used in applications where standard cup or disc brushes are too large to maneuver. The stem-mounted design allows the wheel to reach inside narrow holes, pipe interiors, weld joints, and confined cavities. Typical install and use scenarios include removing corrosion from threaded fittings, cleaning weld slag from tube ends, and stripping paint from recessed metal surfaces. The crimped wire construction provides flex during contact, reducing gouging on lighter materials while still delivering effective cleaning action.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by trade professionals, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using standard 0.25-inch chuck drills. Always confirm the drill chuck is fully secured around the hex shank before operating. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when using wire wheels, as wire bristles can shed during use. Do not exceed the rated speed of the wheel or use on materials for which the wire gauge is not suitable.
