                bristles do not stay in well.
                I bought this and same day used on a metal hand rail on my stairs to strip the paint and clean the base of rust. The bristles started coming out immediately. Three big clumps of bristles. Not well made.

                  This Anvil wire brush is designed well with a soft grip handle which is very comfortable and ergonomically pleasing. Compared to a traditional wood handle wire brush of which I will never use again. The offset shoe handle curved design keeps your fingers and knuckles far away from the material you're brushing. The carbon steel brushes are heavy duty and aggressive for fast material removal. I have been using this Anvil wire brush for paint preparation and for cleaning paint off of brushes and tools. Works well at cleaning paint brushes and bringing them back to life, which saves you money. The only problem with this brush is they are not always in stock at the store, they are very popular for good reason.
