Review on Dico Products 7200005 Nylox Cup Brush 21/2" 80 Grit, Grey by John Kachinosky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality Brush. Wears, doesn't fling off metal bits.

This is a quality brush. I used it for a bit of woodworking and for rust removal from some metal.Pros:-Doesn't fling off metal bits like steel brushes. I always found that hazardous.-Polishes metal rather than just scraping into it like a grinding blade or metal brush.-The stem is hex, so it won't slip like many metal brushes I've used.Cons:-It does wear a bit quickly, especially on metal, so you might pick up a few if you're doing a big project. See photo.-When it wears, it doesn't do so evenly. Again, see photo. It has long bristles that either flung out from outward force or ducked in, both avoiding wear consistent with the rest of the brush.-It's on the expensive side.So, if you're looking for a slightly safer and easier brush for rust or certain kinds of woodworking (e.g. detail work), this could be a great fit. If you're doing a ton of work and mostly want something economical, this might not be the best fit.
