Osborn 0005401300 Scratch Brush 3 Row 7 Column

Product Description

The OSBORN 0005401300 is a scratch brush designed for surface preparation, cleaning, and light abrasion tasks across trade and industrial applications. It features a 3-row by 7-column polypropylene fill configuration that delivers consistent scrubbing coverage across a work surface. The curved wood handle provides a comfortable, controlled grip during extended use. This type of hand brush is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade contractors for cleaning pipe ends, conduit, fittings, and metal surfaces prior to soldering, threading, or adhesive bonding. The polypropylene bristles resist moisture and mild chemicals, making the brush suitable for both wet and dry surface prep work.

This scratch brush is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where manual surface cleaning is required. Common uses include removing oxidation from copper pipe before soldering, cleaning threads on fittings, scrubbing flux residue, and prepping metal or PVC surfaces. The 3-row by 7-column bristle layout provides a medium-density brush face appropriate for general cleaning tasks. The curved handle design helps direct force efficiently when scrubbing in confined areas or along pipe runs. The brush ships as a single unit and does not include a scraper attachment.
