This Osborn Stainless Steel Scratching Brush is well made for the price. The overall length of the brush is nearly 14 inches, and the longer length makes it easier to apply more force with both hands to remove surface oxidation, weld slag, and debris on aluminum parts, which is my exclusive use. The actual bristle portion of the brush is about 6 inches long and about 1 inch wide, so it's a good size for quick work. Overall I'm happy with it and would buy it again if needed.
