DEWALT Wire Cup Brush, Crimped, 3-Inch (DW4920)

Solid wire cup. Doesn’t throw the wires out nearly as bad as some of the others.

Great product!

I'm not sure what purposes others are using this for, but that may lead to the comments of a lot of shedding is really dependent upon use. I do have to say this cup appears 2x thicker and denser than other cups, much more wire to it, and stands up, and performs a lot better than the Forney 72755 Wire Cup Brush, which I also purchased. I was using this to take paint of cinder block, as such I don't expect it to hold up such as stripping metal, wood, etc. But this definitely performed much better, and lasted a lot longer considering it's use against concrete.

Very heavy Duty!

There are a few bad reviews out there for this guy. The wires fly out... True. I've never used a wire wheel or cup brush that this was not true. Better products hold the wires better but still let them go. Wear appropriate gear. This cup brush holds them well. I am very satisfied with the product. The wires break off... Also potentially true. I have destroyed a cup brush in very short order. I was using it incorrectly. If you push with too much pressure, you force the bristles around corners, or you sling the bristles into narrow sharp edges, anything that sharply bends the bristles as they are rotating, of course they are going to break off fairly quickly. Angle grinders are generally spinning them above 10,000 RPM. The knotted cup brush works better... Depends on what you are doing and what you are needing. The knotted cup brush has much thicker bristles. If you are removing paint/rust, yep it will do it faster. It may also remove some metal under the paint however. They are very aggressive. If you are pushing with lots of pressure or flexing bristles around corners, they will survive the abuse better than the finer bristles. I have and use both styles of cup brush for differing applications. I like them both. I use the finer bristle brushes more often. Usually for removing metal scale, paint, rust, etc.

I love this brush. I originally passed on buying it because of the bad reviews but found that I needed this “softer” wire brush to remove paint. I have used it three different times with an 11,000 rpm DeWalt grinder and no issues with the brush wires flying apart. My recommendation is to use it in “pulses”, getting rpm up, then taking it to metal, grinding paint to a stop, and repeat. I originally started that technique for more control, and less wasteful grinding and wear, and it turns out to keep the brush intact too. Just a theory that the bad reviews about the brush wires flying apart is likely due to full blast 11,000+ rpm with heavy pressure grind on metal. Of course the wires will come out.

Great for cleaning rust Love it with my 41/2 inch grinder

Removes rust quickly.

Didn't realise this was a USA product and in imperial sizes, no UK Dewalt tools will except this item.

Se desgasta algo rápido, pero parece normal

Pleasantly surprised with the price compared to the big box stores. Wires do fly off so make sure you wear eye protection. Otherwise good value and quality for the money spent.

Regular, esperaba un poco más del producto, es un poco inestable al momento de limpiar.

Works great to remove paint/grime on surface before spray painting them.
