Tork Craft Wire Wheel Brush 175 mm Twisted Stinger (M14)
At a Glance: Large 175 mm twisted-stinger wheel brush for heavy-duty rust, paint, scale and corrosion removal on metal surfaces
The Tork Craft TCWS175-2 Wire Wheel Brush features a 175 mm diameter and twisted-stinger steel wire construction — engineered to deliver aggressive cleaning power for large metal components, structural steel, heavy castings, weld seams and large surface areas. Designed for demanding jobs where rust, old paint, thick scale or heavy corrosion must be removed efficiently before welding, coating or repainting, it’s a go-to tool in heavy-duty fabrication, maintenance and metal refurbishment environments.
The twisted-stinger wire configuration enhances penetration and abrasion, making it highly effective at stripping stubborn rust, old coatings, weld slag and heavy corrosion even on thick or heavily-coated steel. The 175 mm wheel offers broad coverage, helping you finish large-scale cleaning and prep tasks faster and more uniformly than smaller brushes or manual methods.
Features
- 175 mm wheel diameter with standard M14 arbor — suitable for large angle grinders designed to handle bigger wheels.
- Twisted-stinger steel wire bristles for aggressive, deep-penetration cleaning and effective removal of rust, paint, scale, corrosion and weld residue.
- Single-section wheel design — large surface contact and straightforward mounting for efficient metal prep on big workpieces.
Benefits
- Rapid large-area surface prep: covers more surface per pass — ideal for large panels, structural frames, castings, metal sheets and heavy steel components.
- Deep cleaning power: twisted-stinger bristles cut through rust, scale and coatings more aggressively, reducing time and effort compared to milder brushes.
- Uniform cleaning result: large wheel size and heavy-duty wire structure help achieve consistent rust and paint removal even on uneven or heavily corroded surfaces.
- Ideal for heavy-duty workshop or fabrication use: suitable for factories, maintenance workshops, structural steel refurbishment, restoration and surface prep before welding or coating large metal parts.
Extra Information
- Best suited for steel, castings and other hard metals — avoid using on soft or delicate metals where aggressive wire brushing may cause visible damage or deep scratch marks.
- Ensure your angle grinder is rated for 175 mm wheel use and fitted with the correct guard and safety equipment. Always use proper eye, ear and dust protection due to metal dust and debris thrown off during brushing.
- Use steady, even pressure and smooth, overlapping strokes to avoid gouging — let the wheel’s wire bristles do the work rather than excessive force. For heavily rusted surfaces, multiple light passes yield better results and prolong brush life.
- After brushing, thoroughly clean the surface to remove metal dust, loose wires and debris before painting, coating or welding to ensure proper adhesion and finish quality.
Pro Tip
- When cleaning large structures or steel panels, move the grinder in overlapping passes and keep it in motion — this ensures even cleaning and reduces risk of gouging or uneven finish. Finish with a light wire-bristle brush or grinding pad if you plan to paint or coat the surface for best adhesion. Store the wire wheel brush in a dry place after use to prevent rust or bristle degradation.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection — metal dust, rust particles and loose wires can be hazardous during heavy brushing.
- Use gloves and protective clothing to safeguard against metal fragments, sparks or sharp wire ends.
- Make sure the workpiece is securely clamped and the angle grinder has the correct guard installed before use — do not hand-hold irregular workpieces.
- Inspect the wheel before each use and discard if wires are bent, broken or loose to avoid unsafe operation or inconsistent cleaning.
- Operate at suitable speed and apply light to moderate pressure — let the wheel brush do the work to avoid surface damage, brush failure or personal injury.
