Pro-source 05185 Twisted Wire Bristle Brush Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 05185 is a stainless steel twisted wire bristle brush designed for cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation in tight or recessed areas. The brush features a single spiral fill pattern with a 0.75-inch brush length and 0.25-inch brush diameter, making it well-suited for bore cleaning, tube ID work, and port access in mechanical assemblies. Wire diameter measures 0.003 inches for moderate aggressiveness without excessive material removal. The 0.062-inch shank diameter fits standard rotary tool collets and drill chucks. Installed by technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

This brush is used in applications requiring access to small-diameter openings such as valve seats, orifice ports, heat exchanger tubes, fitting bores, and threaded passages. The stainless steel fill material resists corrosion and performs reliably when used on ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces. With a 4-inch overall length, the brush provides adequate reach into recessed cavities without the use of extensions. It is a practical consumable for field service kits and shop benches in HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and light industrial maintenance work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel wire fill resists corrosion and works on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates
• Single spiral pattern provides consistent surface contact through the brush stroke
• 0.003-inch wire diameter balances cleaning aggressiveness with surface protection
• 0.062-inch shank fits standard rotary tool collets and drill chucks
• 4-inch overall length allows reach into recessed ports and bores
• Compact 0.25-inch brush diameter accesses small-diameter openings

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, flexible shaft machines, and drill chucks accepting a 0.062-inch round shank. Suitable for cleaning and surface preparation on bore diameters approximately matching the 0.25-inch brush diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the tool collet or chuck before operation and confirm the fastening mechanism is fully tightened. Operate at speeds appropriate for the brush diameter and material being worked — consult tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum RPM with small wire brushes. Wear appropriate eye protection when using any rotary wire brush. Inspect the brush for splayed or broken wires before each use and replace if fill integrity is compromised.
