Forney Industries Inc 72740 Crimped Wire Wheel 4 in

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 72740 is a stem-mounted crimped wire wheel designed for use with 1/4-inch hex shank electric or pneumatic drills. The 4-inch wheel uses fine 0.008-inch crimped wire to remove rust, scale, and paint from surfaces that are difficult to reach with larger abrasive tools. The crimped wire construction makes this wheel appropriate for light to medium duty surface preparation work. It is sold in a package of 5 wheels, making it practical for contractors and service technicians who go through abrasive consumables regularly.

This wire wheel is built for situations where access is restricted, such as narrow holes, recessed channels, pipe interiors, and confined structural cavities. Trades that commonly use this type of wheel include HVAC technicians cleaning burner and heat exchanger areas, plumbers preparing pipe surfaces, and general contractors performing surface prep before coating or welding. It accepts any standard 1/4-inch diameter drill chuck, covering both electric and pneumatic drill platforms.
