Value Collection SWMO0116 Grade 1 Steel Wool 16 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SWMO0116 is a Grade 1 medium-grade steel wool pad designed for surface preparation tasks in woodworking and finishing applications. Each pad measures 3 x 4 inches and is constructed from steel wool that provides consistent abrasive action without the aggressiveness of coarser grades. At 0.83 pounds per package of 16 pads, this pack offers a practical supply for ongoing job-site or shop use. Grade 1 medium steel wool sits in the middle of the abrasive spectrum, making it well suited for controlled material removal and surface conditioning before finishing work begins.

This steel wool is primarily used to prepare bare wood surfaces for a first coat of paint or stain and to smooth raised grain between finish coats. It is a common choice in finish carpentry, furniture restoration, and cabinet work where controlled surface prep is required before applying coatings. The pads work on flat and contoured wood surfaces alike, allowing tradespeople and skilled DIYers to achieve a uniform surface profile before finishing.

Installation Notes

Steel wool pads are installed by hand or wrapped around a sanding block for flat surface work. Wear gloves when handling steel wool to avoid skin irritation from fine metal fibers. Keep steel wool away from open flame or ignition sources, as loose fibers are combustible. Dispose of used pads in a sealed metal container to reduce fire risk from spontaneous oxidation.
