Forney Industries Inc 72735 Crimped Wire Wheel 3in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 72735 is a stem-mounted crimped wire wheel designed for light to medium duty surface preparation work. At 3 inches in diameter with a 1/4-inch hex shank and 0.012-inch wire diameter, this wheel fits standard 1/4-inch electric or pneumatic drills. The crimped wire construction provides controlled flexibility, making it effective for removing rust, scale, and paint in confined spaces and hard-to-reach areas. It is well suited for trade professionals and skilled DIYers who need a compact abrasive tool that accesses tight clearances without specialized equipment.

This wire wheel is intended for use in areas where a full-size angle grinder or bench-mounted wheel cannot reach. The stem-mounted design threads into any 1/4-inch drill chuck, making it compatible with common corded and cordless power drills as well as pneumatic drill tools. Typical applications include cleaning weld joints, deburring metal edges, stripping paint from fastener recesses, and removing corrosion from pipe fittings or structural steel in maintenance and repair work. The coarse crimped style delivers consistent material removal without the aggressive bite of a knotted wheel.
