Review on Aain® 3 Inch Wire Wheel Cup Brush - Pack Of 2 For Grinders, 5/8"-11 Threaded Arbor, Max RPM 12,500 - Ideal For Rust Removal And Abrasives by James Cabot

Dollar for dollar can't be beat.

I've always bought name brand when it comes to paint & rust removal. This time though, as the prices have sky rocketed I chose to try this brand and am not disappointed! Even though each individual wheel cup in no way lasts as long as other name brands, when you consider the quality (4pk) and the price (cheaper than just one of the name brands) it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see a deal! In my experience, and as you can see by my photos, the cup started to loosen and started to throw its wires prior to wearing out normally. But even if I have to use two wheel-cups to equal one of a name brand, it's still a fraction of the cost of the big name brands. Examine my photo. The Aaim is missing more wires than the others, but if I wanted I could start to use another cup. I'd rather spend $3½ dollars per cup than either $13 or $23 each any day. Remember, they don't throw wires until way after its half life. It's not like they start throwing them right away. I didn't even realize it until a week after using it, and that's when I decided to write a review. I'm impressed and will continue to buy these. Thanks Aaim!

Pros
  • For tough rust removal, or lots of mill scale, this is exactly what I want.
Cons
  • The brush can become clogged with debris and require constant cleaning during use
