Pferd 4-Inch Standard Twist Knot Wire Wheel Brush, .020 Carbon Steel, 5/8-11 Thread

Aggressive Weld Cleaning & Prep

When you need to strip slag, heavy spatter, or thick rust, the Pferd 82166 4" Knotted Wire Wheel is the tool for the job. Built for professional welders who demand durability, this brush features heavy-gauge .020" steel wire twisted into aggressive knots. Unlike crimped wire wheels that are gentle on surfaces, this knotted wheel acts like an impact tool, digging in to rip away scale and oxidation instantly.

We know that wire breakage is a major annoyance and safety hazard in the shop. Pferd brushes are manufactured with high-grade steel and superior anchoring technology to minimize filament loss, meaning you spend less time picking wires out of your apron and more time working. The 4-inch size is perfect for getting into corners or working on pipe bevels where larger 6-inch wheels might be too bulky. It threads directly onto your 4-1/2" or 5" grinder with a standard 5/8-11 hub, so you can swap it out in seconds.

Use this wheel for your toughest pre-weld and post-weld applications. It is excellent for cleaning root passes (depending on groove width) and stripping coating from steel prior to welding. The balance is superb, so your grinder won't wobble in your hands, giving you better control and cleaner results.
