Red Devil 316 Grade 3 Coarse Steel Wool 16 Pack

Product Description

The RED DEVIL 316 is a coarse Grade 3 steel wool sold in a 16-count pack, designed for heavy-duty surface preparation and cleaning tasks. Grade 3 steel wool delivers aggressive abrasion, making it effective for stripping old finishes, removing rust, and cleaning heavily soiled metal or wood surfaces. Trade professionals and contractors reach for this grade when a finer abrasive will not cut through buildup or corrosion. Each pack contains 16 individual pads, keeping work crews supplied across a full job without frequent restocking.

Grade 3 coarse steel wool is commonly used in commercial and residential applications where surface prep is the priority. Typical uses include stripping paint and varnish from wood, cleaning corroded metal pipe fittings before soldering or sealing, and scrubbing heavily scaled surfaces. Plumbers, pipefitters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians keep coarse steel wool on hand as a standard prep tool before applying primers, sealants, or protective coatings.

Key Features

• Grade 3 coarse cut delivers aggressive abrasion for stripping and heavy cleaning

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Steel wool is a hand-applied abrasive and requires no power tools. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves during use, as steel wool fibers can cause skin irritation. Keep steel wool away from open flames or sparks, as loose fibers are combustible. Dispose of used pads in a dry metal container to reduce fire risk from spontaneous oxidation.
